From Pascal Omaru
Abidjan , Ivory Coast
West Africa
Good Day Dear,
I deem it a respect and honour as well as priviledge to write you, on my deep conviction about you, after my deligent search for a honest and trustworthy someone who will assist me,of which I have chosen you to assist me for the transfer of an inheritance,which I inherited from my late father that was poisoned to death by his relatives associates out of enviness.
My name is Pascal Omaru , I am 21yrs old, a native of Sierra-leone in West African region in the local districk of Konobo and am the only child of late Chief Martins Omaru ,my late father is a Diamond Officer in the Republic of Sierra-leone.But before his death in a private hospital here in Abidjan where he was brought for us to fly oversaes for his medical care before he suddenly died, he told me of a fixed deposit of US$7,600,000 he had with a bank in Abidjan here,which he made me the next of kin because my mother died when I was two yrs old.
I have met the bank manager and declared to him my intention to transfer this fund out of Africa,as adviced me by my father for my security and of the money,which I want to, further my education overseas and for investment purposes,and he is asking me for my guardian,in order to terminate the Fixed investement and release of the fund,as signed in the Agreement Bond with the Bank Authority, in case of sudden death.,which I need your assistance to present you to the bank as my guardian for the transfer of this money into a new opened genuine account for a good and confortable life in your country after my education.
Please remember the confidentiality and urgency my mail required for my security while I expect to read from you. You can call me with my mobile Num; 00225 451 391 92 any Time of your Chioce.
Thanks and remain blessed.
Pascal Omaru.
I for one welcome our new african overlord and beleive he is here to help us.
On the flipside, he addressed me as "Dear" so maybe he's gay AND african, which means he has sa 99% chance of having AIDS so he's probably suffered enough without being banned from seabreeze.com.au, the most populated forum in the world.

It was writen pretty stupidly. Should have told him that in Australia you only need to be like 18 to be your own legal gardian.

There is, hence why I changed from Ivory Coast to Western Africa at the same time - countries to regions - as I thought it was more relevant.

Why not just ban IP ranges from Nigeria (main offending source), I'm pretty sure we haven't had too many nigerians accessing for kitesurfing information.

Yeah, maybe we need to type their letters for them so they can apply it to webpage properly.
Hi
My name is Advocate Abu Mabagheuakry. We have discovered a warehouse full of kitesurfing gear (cabrinha, naish and north - all 2008 models) which was owned by my client. He has died recently in a kiteboarding accident whilst trying to railslide the side of an oiltanker and I have been unable to locate anyone who would be a suitable heir to all this kiteboarding gear.
If you help me get the gear out of the country, I would gladly give you a third of all the kiteboarding gear (so you'll have a quiver which includes a 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16m x 10 of each brand and I'll throw in 400 spare bladders in case you have any problems. No bars unfortunately).
If you're interested, please give me your internet banking password, along with a blank copy of your passport I can use to put my photo on and fake my identity. I'll also need a copy of your DNA.
kind regards,
Abu

Yeah, and that's if there's any at all. I had a sneaking suspicion that I was the only person in all of Ghana on it.
