Here is one I got today:
My Dear Friend,
I write you this email knowing that it will touch your
heart to help
me.i am a young lady of 32 years of age, fairly
educated.i got
married to the high chief of our kingdom in swedru in
the central region
of Ivory Coast in Africa .the high chief needed an
educated woman to be
married to him to help in official functions.this is
because there
are very few educated girls in my village so my
parents prevailed on me
into the marriage 3years ago.but i was not circumcised
at the time and
it was agreed that i will not be foreced into
this.this was why i
agreed.
but since october 2005 the high chief has said i must
undergo
circumcission or my childred in future will not be
eligible to succeed
him.i have refused this circumcission or genital
mutilation practise to be
done on me and because of this my husband,the high
chief and the
whole royal family want to divorce me and outracise
me.i feel really
let down and in pains.
even my parents refuse to support me and i am so
lonely now but i
like to leave the country and luckily because of the
war in my
country two years ago the high chief made some deposit
of a trunk box
containing 3.5million U.S. dollars in Ghana,a
neighbouring country.i was with
the high chief in that trip and during the transaction
in the
security company,the papers
where made in my name.i will like for you to assist me
to leave my
country together with my taking the trunk box.write to
me so i will show
you the documents and discuss how it will be done.i
wait
you,please.please do this for me as a charity but i
will give you 30%
of the 3.5M US$,please !I wait !
