Have you received a letter from Alice Dalette from Liberia, or some other name, needing your help? Ah, yes, another poor family in Africa, separated from their rightful pile of gold bars, just needs your help to be reunited!
And once you contact her, you'll find all you need to do, to receive a huge cut of their immense wealth, is pay the taxes (or fee, or transaction chrage, or demurrage, or whatever other fee they can make up) to release the money. And then they'll pay you the millions. Really! Absolutely! Just wait by your mailbox.
If you are a moron, that is...
Just another scam. Here it is for your entertainment. Of course, the names, places and exact amounts will change, but they're all similar.

FROM:PIUS DALETTE AND FAMILY.
PLEASE I want to crave your indulgence in reading through this mail to
understand my predicament. My name is Pius Dalette and my Mother's Name is Alice
Dalette from Liberia, who is currently residing here in Accra-Ghana. All hope of
having a better future was shattered by the war in Liberia,I and my Mother being
the only surviving family of a gold merchant in Liberia will were left with no
alternative than to flee to Ghana .
Please I am contacting you to assist me and my Mother to retrieve and receive
our consignment over there in American that contains 12.5m United States dollars
and some quantity of gold and Diamond, which I cannot specify. The consignment
is presently in American. The consignments get to the state through the help of
Dr Clinton komelo a Diplomatic Official. The fact is that Dr Clinton Komelo is
supposed to have delivered the consignment to a man called Mr. STUD BAKER in
American.
The week Dr Clinton Komelo is suppose to deliver the consignment to him, when he
got to American after clearing the consignment from the Airport, he call Mr.
Stud Baker to tell him the description to is house for the delivery, but is wife
answered the call and told Dr Clinton Komelo that her husband Mr. Stud Baker
hard a fatal car accident which lead to his death some few hours later.
Mr. Stud Baker has already paid the demurrages from the security company, he
paid for Bullion van that took the consignment to the airport and he paid for
custom check report he also assisted us in getting the DRUG / ANTI TERRIORIST
CERTIFICATE, which is so expensive that he spent 25 thousand united state
dollars(US$25,000) to acquire it, but unfortunately he died in a car accident,
that was why Dr Clinton Komelo has to deposit the consignment with a warehouse
over there in American and called us to informed us about what is happening, and
told me and my mother to look for a new beneficiary to received the consignment.
So please I will like you to assist I and my Mother to received the consignment
from the diplomatic Official in American.
I await your urgent response.
Thanks and God bless you
Pius Dalette and Family.
