Dear fellow members, I received this e-mail:

mikeweil,

opia has sent you this email from http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php.

new_look4all@yahoo.co.uk

Tel..+22508024769

I am the chairman of the contract award committee of the oil ministry here in ivory coast, for security reasons, I may not wish to disclose how I got your email address for now.

After due deliberation with my partner, I decided to forward to you this business proposal, we want you to assist us receive the sum of Twenty eight million, six hundred thousand united state bills(us28.6m) into your account.

This fund resulted from an over-inflacted contract awarded by us under the budget allocation to my ministry and the bill was approved for payment by the concerned ministries. The contract was executed, commissioned and the contractor was paid his actual cost of the contract.

Now, we are left with the balance of us28.6m as the over invoiced amount, which we have deliberately over estimated for our own use. Please note that the law forbids civil servants to operate or own foreign accounts hence this contact, we have agreed to share the money in the following percentages: 30 for you, 60 for us 10 for tax as may be required by your government.

Note that this transaction is very much free from all sorts of risk hence the business was carefully planned before it was successfully executed and we the officials involved in the deal have put many years in service to our ministry.

We have been exercising patience for this privilege for so long not until the presidential announcement last week, that all foreign contractors owed be paid forthwith, this will enable the presidency reconcile our debt ratio with the outside world and to most of us, this is a lifetime blessing we cannot afford to miss.

The details of the source of money; and the

mode of sharing shall be discussed further between you

and us after we have received your consent.

Sincerely Yours.

Lord J J Opia.

Needless to say, that this is some serious abuse of money trusted to the Ivorian government.

But someone must be able to access the e-mail adresses we used to register here .....

Be aware, all concerned.

This opia person registered on February 7th, just to send spam emails?! How stupid. The good thing about this software is that he/she doesn't actually have your email address. If you send an email from the board, it never displays the recipients email.

I just deleted the account and banned the IP address.

OH LORD!

We have had these letters pop up on our office fax machine from time to time....always from Africa, Ivory Coast and some others. I have yet to see any money show up at my door!.....but I'm still looking everyday!

Based on my extensive experience with numerous similar emails from Nigeria, you should really only expect to get 10--and not 30--cents on the dollar. :w

Well dang. That means it's only $2.86M. If I saw $2.86M on the street, I'm not sure I'd even stoop to pick it up anymore.
