Had a very similar one through email...

I emailed em back, nice letter comes back with a nice pic attached to it, they request my id and bank details... Yeah right, like i would send those over to Africa...

This scam has been going for five years now, always in different forms...

I have got ones from when Concorde crashed, and they was asking for help to claim one of the familys bank accounts...

Koffi is a cocoa merchant. It has a certain ring to it. I'd help the lady, simply to see if she's got a sister Latte.

Bushfiva mate, you've got to read these things properly - she clearly states that she is the only daughter...

But she could have an older brother, Grande Mocha...
