And from my point of view, it’s not an “either-or” between inbound marketing and outbound marketing. As a matter of fact, I think using them together is the key to growth for companies as we move forward. Each "method" feeds the other to generate bigger results than either can by itself.

My father gave me an instruction to leave Libya at the wake of the unrest in Libya and he gave me a note and some documents to meet with his lawyer in Accra, Ghana over his deposit of a trunk box which contained the sum of US$18,000,000.00 deposited with a security company in Ghana as family valuable. My father who is now in the United Kingdom, told me that any thing can happen to him because he has no trust on the British Government to give assylum. He said I should use the proceed of the box through a trusted foreign trustee that can take good care of me and my future by investing the fund into a very profitable business where those that are concerned will benefit while I continue my education. I met with the lawyer on my arrival in Ghana who assisted me to work out the modalities toward the claiming of the deposit from the security company. I am now with the box of money in a very hidden and safe hotel in Accra, Ghana. I have decided to buy an SUV Infinity from the money since I cannot be moving around Acrra always with taxis that can be monitoring my movements. This is why I wrote you this email to be my foreign trustee who will assist to manage this fund in terms that we have to agree upon. I prefer to send you some money through western union in other to facilitate your journey to meet me in Accra where we can plan ways to move the funds and I to your country. Alternatively, I will have to send you the money to enable you work out my traveling from your end. Wait to hear from you as soon as possible.

Why do you write about her?". I guess my dry humor got the better of me since she didn't read to the end to realize that I was just playing fun with a scam email. A good learning from this is to make sure to set the appropriate tone and expectation early in the post, at least if one's mother is going to read it... :-) Oh dear, my mother asked me “Who is Fatima Mohammad?
