[NOTE: This 419 SCAM letter is NOT NIGERIAN per se... however, even though Mr. Frank claims to be from the Ivory Coast and has a UK email address, it's the VERY SAME SCAM no matter how much he talks about his music and invokes God.
It is presented for reference with all errors intact as received by the Desk.Thank you.]
