     My name is Miss Chipo Gamba The daughter  of Mr and Mrs  Banda Gamba of Zimbabwe.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the support of our President. Robert Mugabe to claim all the white -owned farms to his party members
and his followers, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers. My father is one of the best farmers in our
country and because he did not support Mugabes ideas,Mugabes supporters invaded my fathers farm and burnt everything in the farm, killed my father and made away
a lot of items in my fathers farm.

Before his death, my father had deposited with one of the prime bank in  Abidjan in Cote d'Ivoire the sum of US$5.5( Five million five hundred thousand  United
state Dollars ) After the burial of my father, I decided to move to the Republic of Cote D,Ivoire  for my safety, to verified the existence of the money  and to look for honest and trustworthy person who will assist me to retrieve the money from the bank in cote
d ivoire ;He  deposited the money in the  bank with my name as next of kin to the money for investment purpose. I offer you 15% for your assistance

Does anyone think that some people REALLY fall for those kind of things?

If you can read the full header of the e-mail address you should report it to yahoo as abuse.  It's better not to open these - just delete - but if opened show full header details and report.
Really sad that some people with kind hearts, and often not much money, fall for these.
