I received this E mail and wanted to make sure everyone knows what the scam looks like.

FROM:MRS.SARRAH DIABATE  
N.C.B Ci BANK,  
RUE Du COMMERCE,  
IMMEBULE 2 PLATEAU  
ABIDJAN-COTE D’IVOIRE  
WEST /AFRICA.

MY DEAR,

PLEASE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCES MY REACHING YOU  
MIGHT CAUSE.AM PROPOSING A BENEFICIAL TRANSACTION IF  
YOU CAN ASSIST.MY NAME IS MRS.SARRAH DIABATE,I WORK  
WITH N.C.B ci BANK IN THE AUDITING DEPARTMENT.

THERE IS AN ACCOUNT OPENED IN MY BANK, N.C.B.ci BANK  
IN 1996 AND SINCE NOBODY HAS OPERATED ON THIS ACCOUNT  
AGAIN. AFTER GOING THROUGH SOME OLD FILES IN THE  
RECORDS I DISCOVERED THAT IF I DO NOT REMIT THIS MONEY  
OUT URGENTLY IT WILL BE FORFEITED FOR NOTHING.

THE OWNER OF THIS ACCOUNT LATE MR.DENNIS BROWN ,HE  
DIED SINCE 1997 IN A PLANE CRASH WITH HIS ENTIRE  
FAMILY,NO OTHER PERSON KNOWS ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT OR  
ANYTHING CONCERNING IT, THE ACCOUNT HAS NO OTHER  
BENEFICIARY AND MY INVESTIGATION PROVED TO ME AS WELL  
THAT NONE OF HIS KIN DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS  
ACCOUNT AND THE AMOUNT INVOLVED IS  
U.S.$22.500,000.00(TWENTY TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED  
THOUSAND DOLLARS).

THIS HAPPENS EVERY WHERE,RATHER IT NEEDS TOTAL  
CONFIDENTIALITY AND TRUST. I WANT TO TRANSFER THIS  
MONEY INTO A SAFER FOREIGN ACOUNT ABROAD,I AM ONLY  
CONTACTING YOU AS A FOREIGNER BECAUSE THIS MONEY CAN  
NOT BE APPROVED TO ANY LOCAL BANK HERE BUT CAN ONLY BE  
APPROVED TO ANY FOREIGN ACCOUNT BECAUSE THE MONEY IS  
IN U.S DOLLARS AND THE FORMER OWNER OF THE ACCOUNT IS  
MR.DENNIS BROWN AND HE WAS A FOREIGNER TOO.

I BELIEVE IN YOU AND YOU WILL NEVER LET ME DOWN IN  
THIS BUSINESS, YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON THAT I HAVE  
CONTACTED FOR THIS BUSINESS.

YOUR PERCENTAGE IS NEGOTIABLE. I WILL USE MY POSITION  
IN THE OFFICE TO PROVIDE ALL THE NECESSARY  
INFORMATIONS FOR THE APPROVAL OF THIS FUND.

AFTER THE TRANSFER I WILL COME DOWN TO YOUR COUNTRY  
WITH MY ONLY SON FOR RESETTLEMENT AND INVESTMENT.

EXPECTING TO HEAR FROM YOU.

YOURS FAITHFULLY,

MRS.SARRAH DIABATE
