Received this a couple of days ago - an interesting twist on a well-known scam
"Attention without mincing words, I am convinced 100% that you have had bitter experience with various 'scammers' claiming to be high government officials and thereby defrauding you of your 'hard-earned money'. The actitivies of these scammers has changed your perspective about conducting business on the internet, and you now believed there is no genuine business that can be conducted on the internet. Well, I am an American and full citizen of the United States, but I was on a Foreign Mission here in Africa as US Ambassador. Hence, I am making every efforts to ensure that no citizen of the United States is cheated by Africas.
Therefore, I need your utmost support and understanding to actualize this out. I also want you to understand that I do trust you and I expect you to show me the same trust and respect in return since trust is a 2-way street. On the other hand, trust is a relationship of reliance. Trust also means being able to predict what other people will do and what situations will occur.
Frankly speaking, I understand that anyone in your shoes will feel betrayed, but I still want you to show me your trust by giving me the benefit of doubt on this transaction. My identity and personality is verifiable, and I promise to transfer the funds to you into your account without any hitch. Please do not allow this mission to die off. I meant so well for you and I believe you will appreciate me more when you have finally received your partial payment of $6.5 million dollars. I will use my position and personality to make sure that the bank will transfer the money into your account before coming back to state.
I wish if you can understand me. I hate cheaters.I promise to always uphold the national unity of the United States. Please reply back asap today.
Respectfully yours,
