Have you ever been contacted by someone who claimed to be a citizen of an African country and who needed your help with a business transaction that would involve millions of dollars for you? Welcome to the Nigerian scam! I'd only ever read about this before, but last week I finally received an e-mail myself! Just like the many examples I'd read

Dear Sir,
First of all, let me fully introduce myself. I am M. Philippe Henri DACOURY, I am working at one of the leading banks in Ivory Coast, West of Africa; l am the director of the Accounts Department.
I am writing to ask for your cooperation to enable both of us take advantage of a good opportunity that is at my disposal at the bank for investment purpose. I found your contact details on the internet while l was doing a search, so l decided to contact you to seek your cooperation.
Please before going any further, l want you to know that this proposal is serious and its not a joke. So l advise you erase any doubt you might have about my proposal, my intention is genuine. I want you to give me your total support and l promise you will not regret doing so.
Here is the details of my proposal:
There is this anonymous fund totalling 7.5 Million-EURO that has been floating in a suspense-account for some years now. The money was part of huge funds the government made available to the bank for onward payment of arms and ammunition ordered by the government at the outbreak of the civil war that is now over. The former bank director who was an ally of the country's President, was the one handling the purchase of arms for the President. In doing so, he syphons some of the money for his own personal aggrandisement. But this very amount remained in the suspense account because the former director died before he could transfer the money to his foreign bank account.
In view of this, l have decided to look for a foreign partner that can provide a foreign bank account for me to transfer the money to for investment purpose. This is the reason why l have contacted you; I want you to be my partner in this deal so that l can transfer the money to you for us to go into investment partnership. You will get 30% of the money for your cooperation; I will also take 30%, the balance 40% will be set aside for a joint investment that will be owned by both of us. Please note that this is not one of those internet mails that tend to seek for people's bank accounts in order to steal money from it. For the purpose of this deal, you can open a new bank account with little or no money in it. All l need in order to execute this deal, is a foreign bank account.
It will please you to know that there is no risk involved in this deal, as soon as the transfer is effected to your nominated bank account and you confirm to me that your account has been credited, l shall at once delete every information concerning the transfer from the bank computer system, so as to erase traces of the wire transfer. Then l shall travel to meet with you in your country for the sharing of the money as agreed.
You might be finding it difficult to come to terms with my proposal, but l tell you this today; If you where in this part of the world where l happen to come from, you will not let this opportunity pass you by. In this part of the world, there is no welfare or any other form of government support for the citizens. Here in Ivory Coast, over 45% of the population live below poverty level, no good pension package. Imagine after putting in over 30 years of your active life working for the government, you have no house of your own to retire to as a pensioner. What l am about to do is not only going to better my life now and after retirement, but also to guarantee better future for my children and relatives.
If you finally decide to cooperate with me in this deal, here is how l intend to professional execute the deal:
The 7.5 Million-EURO is currently in a suspense account among other funds; wire transfers are never effected from suspense accounts. Suspense accounts only holds funds for which decision on what to do with the money has not been reached by the bank. To enable me transfer the money, the money has to be deposited in a current account; and thereafter, the account owner will have to give wire instructions for the funds to be transferred.
