Here's the text of the message:

Our greetings to you,

I am Tarfa Williams from Seirra Leone and residing presently in Europe
with my Mother (A Widow). We are staying at a REFUGEE CAMP waiting for
an answer to our application for political Assylum, due to the CIVIL
WAR in my country in which I lost my father Alhaji Hammed Williams and my
sister, the WILL have been ready prompted me to contact you.
I need a trustworthy and honest individual who would be ready to help
my family invest our fund wisely and profitably, our inheritance is
value at $100,000,000.00 ( ONE HUNDRED MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) from
my late father. This fund has been secured with a PRIVATE SECURITY
COMPANY in Europe.

To claim this fund from this security firm I have the necessary
documents including the certificate of deposit and the original copies of bank
statement from my late father's lawyer. In the desire to invest this
fund we will appreciate a stable company with growth potentials.
We wish to invest this fund in your company or any other company or
profit oriented venture under your advise and supervision.You are the hope
of this family as there is nothing we can do, due to our status here.
You will of course be adequately compensated with 30% for your effort,
which we will discuss as soon as you accept to help us in this regard.
I will be willing to answer any question about my family as soon as we
receive an acceptance mail from you.
You should also send your company's flyers or profile including some
hint about investment in your country. Hoping to hear from you soon while
thanking you in anticipation.

Best regards,
Prince Tarfa Williams.

Please reply to twilliams500@hotmail.com for safety of this
transaction. Thanks

    I fail to see how this is a scam? Am I reading something wrong or is this person asking for details on a company in which they can invest? I don't see where they're asking for money, just business info. I guess junk mail scams are just getting dumber.. or maybe it's me.

    Tarfa and I go way back. I knew him in my diamond smuggling days. You can definitely trust him on this. I may even give it a go.

    :D so you'd be tempted? Yep, you reply to that with your company details and then they reply back with more bullshit and saying how they need for you to pay for the transaction... usually a few thousand. You pay this money and then they request more (to clear some red tape or something) and so on until you finally get suspicious :rolleyes:

    Don't people who are worth 100million US usually have their kids go to schools in the west and would be the first out of a country that is at war.
