    Dakar Senegal.

    Good Day,

    I know this mail will come to you as a surprise, nevertheless I am Mrs.Grace Minor, aged 55 years, the wife of General John Minor, Chief Security Officer and Aide-decamp to the president Charles Tailor of Liberia.

    As a result of the on-going war in my country, I am saddled with problems of my ill health of protracted diabetes and high blood pressure which is getting of increase in the resent times and also getting a trust worthy individual abroad to receive the sum of US$8.5million and 15kg worth of Diamond on our behalf.

    Due to this war crises presently in my city Monrovia our home town, my husband managed to sneak me and my son David 23 years of age and four other of my daughters out of Monrovia to Dakar senegal for safety. We were sneaked into Dakar Senegal through the land boarder by the help of some government militant group.

    My husband adviced me to get a trust worthy individual abroad to receive the deposit.I feel confident therefore to introduce myself and this offer to you based on this problem of war in my country and our present condition as all our foreign contacts and connections got lost during this crises, all properties burnt by the rebels. I am desperately in need to move and re-locate this huge deposit to your country for safe keeping on the advice of my husband as this is the only wealth remaining for the future survival and well being of our large family.

    For your percentage for assistance, a negotiable percentage will be discussed as soon as I receive your response based on this plead for your assistance as our lives are highly in danger due to war.I pray and plead for your help.

    You can email me back or call us on ( 00221-556-5520 )for further clarifications.

    God bless you as you heed to my plead for assistance.
    Alternative Email Address
    Sincerely yours.

    Mrs.Grace Minor and Son David.

    Just got the same PM from this new member ( G.Minor) that was in the opening post.

    Shawn should simply deny letting new members send PM's until they get 25 posts and that would be the end of it.

    G.Minor was so kind to send me a private spam with the good old Africa scam in a new package. It is the first time I have gotten this in a private message in a forum. I just wanted to warn you all.

    The message follows below.

    Yeah I agree. Deny PM-ing rights until you have a certain amount of posts is a good idea.


    Also members that have a certain amount of posts (I would say hmm just off the top of my head: 9,756) should be forced to leave due to taking up too much of Digital Point's bandwidth. :eek:
