the "Dad died twice, help us invest his fortune" Scam

This Scam cracked me up. It is a standard "we inherited money, help us invest it" scam. but this one, referring to the deceased, says "he suddenly died (a) few months after he had a fatal car accident." Anyway, this is a scam. don't fall for it.

Scam e-mail below:

Hello Dear,

How are you today,I hope this email get to you in good health? I contact
you to see how best you can help me and my sister to invest our
inheritance into a lucrative business in your country.

My name is Benjamin Akpokoma Sekou, I am 25 years old, and my younger
sister name is Salama Sarah Akpokoma Sekou 22 years old,we are Citizens of
Ivory Coast in West Africa currently in Ghana to claim our family
inheritance which we have decided to invest into lucrative business in
your country as our late father advised.

Our late father Mr. Gilbert Akpokoma Sekou who was living in Ghana made a
deposit of family treasure that contains $4.850 Million and 50 kilograms
of gold dust in a safe keeping company here in Ghana. our father was a
local gold miner,cocoa farmer,gold and diamond dealer in Ghana and ivory
coast, he suddenly died few months after he had a fatal car accident. Our
mother has died long ago before this happened to us.

Please according to my late father's lawyer he said that all we need to do
now before these metal boxes of the gold and the cash money can leave
Ghana to your country or any country of our choice is provide a foreign
investor with valid contact information so as to enable the lawyer work
out the legal papers that will back up the shipment of the gold and put
the funds to a transferable position that you can transfer the money to
your location.

This agreement would require your present here to meet with us and visit
the finance house as my chosen foreign investor to take care of our
deposited property. Please I believe my lawyer will explain more better to
you as soon as you come in contact with him.

Once you agree to help me and my sister, we will provide you contact to
our late father's lawyer who will help us in securing some necessary
documents for the shipment and retrieving the funds. As soon as the
transfer is completed successfully, we will come to your country where I
and my sister will invest the money under your guide. So please let us
know your mind and what will be your compensation or percentage for
helping me and my sister in this great task.

I wait for your favorable reply and please feel free if you have any
question to ask.

Thanks and be bless
Best regards
Benjamin Akpokoma Sekou
