FROM: Prince Alan Bangfreak

10 Rue Menteur
Villa 30
Cote De Nutti
Republique de Cote De Ivoire

Dearest,

Compliments. Perhaps this mail will be surprising you
as I do not know you or meet with you before. But I am
of a belief that you will be touched to be assisting me
out of this situation after reading my following plea.

I am Prince Alan Bangfreak, the only child of the late
President Felix Bangfreak-Bogidorre. My father was a
wealthy ruler of my country, having made millions
as a coconut-milk merchant based in Cote De Nutti, the
economic capital of the Ivory Coast / Republique de
Cote de Ivoire. This was before he was poisoned to
death by jealous business associates, during one of their
outings to search for rare bird eggs.

When my mother died on the 21st October 1988, my
father took me on and supported me so special, because
I am motherless. Before the death of my father on 9th
June 2006 in a private hospital at the bottom of our
garden, he was secretly calling me to his bedside and
whispering in my ear that he had a sum of 9,500,022
(nine million five hundred thousand and twenty-two)
coconuts hidden under a high security mattress at the
Cote De Nutti First National Coconut Bank. He explained
that as clever subterfuge he was using my name - as
the only son for the next of kin - when depositing his
coconut stash.

He also explained that it was because
of this relative wealth that he was killed by his so-called
business associates, using many poisonous
wasp stings, and that I should be seeking a foreign
partner in a country of my choice, where I can transfer
the coconuts and use them for investment purposes or
extract their nourishing milk.

I am honorably seeking your assistance in the following
ways...

1) To provide a large space under a bed, or a cavity
inside a mattress, in a facility that you own or manage,
where I can transfer my coconuts to.

2) To serve as the guardian of this asset, since I am a
boy of 19 years. This will involve combing flat the
hairs of each coconut once a day to keep them in
optimum condition and thereby maximising value.

3) To make arrangements for me to contact you using
email at least twenty times a day and then come over
to your country after the coconuts have been transferred
and live in your home as a guest for at least ten days,
or the rest of my life; whichever is the greater duration.

Moreover, I am be willing to offer you 10,000 coconuts
as compensation for your effort and assistance, but only
after the successful transfer of these assets to the
nominated storage depot of your choice overseas.

Please, if it will please you to assist me, reply to me
with the above note using Spacephones Guest Book
section as a communication channel. Do this confidentially,
as I believe that this transaction could be scrutinized by others.
I expect that our business can be concluded within
seven (7) days once you signify interest to assist me.

Anticipating hearing from you very soon.

Thank you and many blessings to you and your family.

Sincerely



Prince Alan Bangfreak
