It's ok, this was actually Linux-related.

DEAR SIR,

I CONTACTED YOU BECAUSE OF MY NEED TO DEAL WITH PERSONS WHICH MY FAMILY AND
I HAVE HAD NO PREVIOUS PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH. SINCE THE MURDER OF MY
ENTIRE FAMILY, I HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO ALL SORTS OF HARASSMENTS AND
INTIMIDATION WITH LOTS OF NEGATIVE REPORT EMANATING FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND
THE PRESS ABOUT MY FAMILY. THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT OF LAURENT GBAGBO HAS
ALSO
ENSURED THAT OUR BANK ACCOUNTS ARE FROZEN AND ALL ASSETS SEIZED.

IT IS IN VIEW OF THIS, THAT I SEEK YOUR CORPORATION AND ASSISTANCE IN
THE TRANSFER OF THE SUM OF TEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS
(US$ 10,000,000.00.)BEING THE VERY LAST OF MY FAMILY FUND IN MY POSSESSION

SEIZED ALL OUR PROPERTIES AND FROZE ALL OUR ACCOUNTS BOTH LOCAL AND
INTERNATIONAL. MY ONLY HOPE NOW, IS THIS CASH, MY FATHER CAREFULLY PACKAGED
AS ARTIFACTS WITH A SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY OUTSIDE IVORY COAST. THIS
SUM OF US$ 10.0M CAN EASILY BE WITHDRAWN OR PAID TO A RECOMMENDED
BENEFICIARY.

THE SECURITY COMPANY BASED ON MY INSTRUCTION WILL RELEASE THE FUND TO YOU.
YOU ARE TO BE PRESENTED AS MY BUSINESS PARTNER WHO WILL BE FRONTING FOR ME
IN SUBSEQUENT VENTURES AND IN TRUTH YOU WILL BE FRONTING FOR ME, IN THE
AREAS OF BUSINESS YOU DEEM PROFITABLE.

TO SHOW MY PREPAREDNESS AND APPRECIATION TO CONDUCT THIS WITH YOU, I
SHALL GIVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 20% OF THE TOTAL FUND AND 10% FOR ALL THE
EXPENSES INCURRED DURING THIS TRANSACTION ALSO 5% WILL BE FOR YOU ON ANY
PROFIT REALIZED FROM THE INVESTMENT OF THIS FUND IN YOUR COUNTRY, WHILE 70%
WILL BE FOR MY FAMILY AND ME.

PLEASE, I NEED YOUR FULL SURPPORT AND COOPERATION FOR THE SUCCESS OF
THIS VENTURE, I PLEAD WITH YOU TO TREAT AS URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL, THIS IS
A SENSITIVE ISSUE, WHICH DEMAND HIGH DEGREE OF SECRECY. YOU SHOULD PLEASE
HAVE MY CURRENT POLITICAL STATUE IN MIND. ALSO ENDEAVOUR TO FORWARD ALL
CORRESPONDENCE TO MY E-MAIL ADDRESS
I SINCERELY WILL APPRECIATE YOUR EXPRESS ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE
RECEIPT OF THIS LETTER WITH YOUR COMPLETE CONTACT DETAILS. E-MAIL ME SO
THAT
I CAN GIVE YOU THE MODALITIES ON HOW THESE FUNDS WILL BE TRANSFERRED INTO
YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT.

PRESENTLY, I AM SEEKING ASYLUM IN THE NETHERLANDS.
I AWAIT YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE.

YOURS TRULY,
LAMBERT GUEI.
