MRbrownJAY:

although there are MANY scammers out there, it is wrong to say that any message from a Yahoo/Hotmail/Gmail address is AUTOMATICALLY a scam.

there is only ONE WAY to protect yourself from Yahoo Yahoo and that is to USE YOUR DAMN BRAIN!!!!!

I don't feel sorry for any ''victim'' of  419/yahoo yahoo, they should get the same jail sentence as 419ners.

Dear Friend


From Safia Farkash al-Baraasi I am the second wife of the late Libyan leader.


I got your address from my reliable search and so I decided to contact you on this vital issue. As you may be aware that my husband was killed, I and my three family members are now in Africa.


Please, presently I and my entire family have some RESORT to the tune of U$30 (Thirty million United States Dollars) and ready to be released to you with the hope that you will invest this fund into any good business in your country, pending when the political turmoil is over. Please if you are interested in helping me to receive this money that is presently in an escrow lodge with a security company in South Africa/ Ghana and Indonesian.


After a successful process and transfer of this said money into your bank account, 30% of the total funds will go to you and my P.A kofi Ali will come to your country immediately to start up a business with your assistance so we will be able to save for raining days.


I shall give you the contact information of the security when you indicate your interest. They will assist you on any legal issues to change the necessary Documents / Documentation to your NAME and Power of Attorney to secure this fund.


I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law as it is a 100% risk free venture.


Kindly indicate your interest in assisting my family by replying back.


Thanks for your service in advance.


Sincerely yours
Safia Farkash al-Baraasi Gaddafi.
