This is the follow-up email I have received.  These scammers seem to be
taking the slow approach.  Now all they want is my contact address.

What I really like is the wealth of information they keep sending me
about their situation.  If they put as much effort into legitimate work,
they'd probably make just as much money.

Now I'm going to send them my work address and see what I get next.

Subject: THANKS/PLEASE GET BACK TO ME

Dear Shea Tisdale,

Thank you for your early response to my mail.please understand that
there is a degree of luck and chance in contacting you I can only hope
that we can establish a relationship based on mutual interests.But be
rest assured that I am not going to involve you in a transaction that
has threat to life or imprisonment.The funds was willed to me by my late
husband.We were in Morroco together during the DRC rebels onslaught
before the demise of my husband .Unfortunately since then I have been
down with different ailment arising from stress.Since my husbands
chateaux in France was confisticated by the DRC government I decided it
was time to redirect the deposited funds for security reasons. 

Moreover information reaching me has indicated the DRC government as
wanting to keep tabs on us with a view to seizing whatever my late
husband left behind.Hence my contact to you requesting your full
cooperation.The funds in question is lodged in a safe deposit vault in
Holland .

My plan is to have my son contacts you as soon as he arrives Holland and
both of you will finalize the transaction.My son has a power of attorney
to effect the release to you.I want you to assure me of your readiness
to assist.As soon as you do that,I will send an urgent message to my son
to proceed at once to Holland to open communication with you. I am
presently in a camp in Morocco for security reasons.I have no access to
phone
or fax except the public ones which will not be convinient. The one
available is not confidential  so I am unable to call you now.My plan is
to have my son call you upon his arrival in Amsterdam  and together you
visit the vault and remove the crates containing the money.I will give
you 15% of   the total funds if you will cooperate fully. Be informed
that my son is not in any position to handle the funds alone.There is no
risk associated with this transaction because its me you and my son who
knows about this deposit alone.This is why you must keep it as
confidential as humanly possible.

Kindly send down your contact address as i already got your telephone
and fax numbers.Another area I forsee is the area of safeguarding and
protecting the funds.This will have to do with bringing the transaction
within the jurisdiction of the territory of  the Netherlands. Most
importantly get an anti-laundry certificate so the money will not be
termed drug money or terrorist money,the security company will surely
assist you in this regard. Let me have your comments so we may 
proceed. 

Regards, 

Mrs.Bobila Dawa seseko
