 		[MAIL]Maybe a cipher
Hey, I got a private message, and concerning its spaces, it looks very like the Space-Bacon-Chifer from LaSekto... But decipher it as it is would end in nothing. So i think, the misspellings an , , have something to say... If you want to help find the answer, feel free. Otherwise, maybe someone want to make a joke... but i thought it should be said, since we got more strange mails the last days (eg couberteam)! (Added the Code-Tag so it is copyable without quote my text...)

FROM Ranhy Coulibaly
 IVOIRE COAST
ABIDJAN
WEST AFRICA
Email(ranhycoulibaly034@yahoo.co.jp)

I am Miss Ranhy Coulibaly  based in abidjan in Cote Di'voire, .Due to the situation here  in Cote Di'voire, ,those of us in the business circle are finding it very difficult to cope with the situation here,no stable government, rebel explotion at strategic places every now and then,sometimes people find it very difficult to go about their normal businesses due to fear of being victim of rebel attack,above all.the crisis in Cote Di'voire,  now has made business activities totaly parallised for quite sometime now.for intance,no good telephone facilities,no adequate security,infact,all most all the basic infrastructure were destroyed during the recent crisis in Cote Di'voire, ,ever since then .the enviroment in Cote Di'voire,  has never been conducive business wise.

Please,why i need your assistance is that i have about ($ 6.5) Six million five hundred  thousand united states Dollars in the bank.I inherited the money from  my late father who was a general of coco merchant in charge of purchase and maintainance in the immediate past regime.
My intention is to move the money out of  Cote Di'voire,  and invest the money in stock market or real estate in your country with the help of an honest person who will work with me as my foreign associate, i want to invest most of the money abroad to avoid lossing the money, because it is not wise doing business in the atmosphere of fear here in  Cote Di'voire, that's why i am calling on you.

If you can honestly collaborate with me ,i am ready to pay you up to 15% of the total amount if you can sincerely assist me to actualise this project soon,because the situation here in Cote Di'voire,  is very critical, the everyday rebel  explotion seems to have no end.
I wait patiently for your urgent response to my personal email

(ranhycoulibaly034@yahoo.co.jp)

Best regards.
Miss Ranhy Coulibaly

 		We have a thread to ask about "Is this Spam". And this is pretty obviously spam. Do not reply.

 		I mailed her a test mail, before i posted it here. It looks like the mail is not something like a spamlistbot, as she has answered me directly to my questions!

This was the answer after asking why she uses a japanese mail-adress and the second one was a little mistake Wink But she didn't answer the question why she wrote to me by private message.

Falco, welcome to the Internet.

Don't send this person any more emails, unless you have time to waste, and under no circumstances send her money.

Locky! ??

So Benjamin was a fake name? And you didn't use your normal email address? That's good.
