To: FROM THE DESK OF JONTHAN

THE HEAD OF FILE DEPARTMENT, IN

BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)

OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO WEST AFRICA

dear friend,

I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foriegn remittance daepartment Bank of Africa

. I am writing, following the impressive

information about you through one of my friends WORKS WITH THE BURKINA CHAMBERS firm.

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $U.S25.5Million dollars

twentyfivemillion five hundred thousand US dolloars) in an account that belongs

to one of our foriegn customer who died along with his entire family in

November 2002 in a plane crash.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next

of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless

some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as

indicated in our banking guidlines and laws but unfortunately we learnt

that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at

the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon

this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to

make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next

of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement

since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the

bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

The banking law and guidling here stipulates that if such money remained

unclaimed after six years the money will be transfered into the bank

treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in

this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner

and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in

respect to the provision of a foriegn account, 10% will be set aside for

expenses occured during the business and 60% would be for me and my

colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for

disbursement according to the percentage indicated.

Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as

arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of

the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your

private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and

location wherein the money will be remitted.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of

the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this

transaction is hitch -free and that you should not entertain any atom of

fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.

You should contact me immediately as soon as you recieve this letter.

Yours faithful

Bill & Exchange Manager

Never mind the spelling btw, he is so full of shit, it is actually illegal what he is proposing, but fuck it, im going to go to b3ta.com instead

You are the coolest.

[Vanhalen 0]

Nah, not really, just drunk, but its weird with these email scams because they are blatantly breaking the law, and that pisses me off, I hate scammers and thieves.

I think Vanhalen should change his name to SammyHagar. When I usually think of Vanhalen the band I think about the cool David Lee Roth era. I try to blank the Sammy Hagar era.

Normally, this thread would bother me, but it made me think of this:

 

You know what, Toby? When the son of deposed king of Nigeria e-mails you directly asking for help, you help. His father ran the freaking country!

[Vanhalen 0]

So... you do realize that this is just a con man trying to steal your money and/or identity, right? (And did you notice the French email address for someone who's supposed to be in Africa?)

When even luke-o hates Vanhalen, it says a lot.

[Vanhalen 0]

Erm, of course I realise, I do work to prevent money laundering, this is why the thread was called "Ironic", and to be honest I dont really give a fuck if a bit of text on a computer monitor says it doesnt like me, I'm sure my life wont really be affected too much.
