The Chief Auditor/Information manager,
In-Charge of Foreign Unit
African Development Bank Group,
Ouaga. Burkina-Faso.
Dear Good Friend,

I am MR belo ahmed, The Chief Auditor/Information Manager, In-Charge of Foreign
Unit of our bank and i have had the intent to contact you over this financial
transaction/transfer worth the sum of Twenty Nine Million Two Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars (US$29.2M)for our progress and richness.This is an abandoned sum that belongs to our late foreign customer (an International Billionaire French Businessman) who died in plane crash disaster since three years ago along with his wife.

[i didnt know i was french]

I was opportuned to see the deceased deposit file bearing this huge amount
of money when i was inspecting the dated and current customers files in other
to sign and submit to the entire bank management for an official validation
/ re-documentation against the statement approval to the account holders
for the year. In a swift investigation carried out by me, i found out that
non of the deceased relative is aware of the abandoned fund except his late wife.
As a result of that, it is an extremely confidential matter between me and you.
Hence you are a foreigner to our country,

[really? i thought i was from africa]

you are authorized by our Banking
law to apply and claim the fund into your account as the NEXT-OF-KIN to the
deceased. For assisting me to get the fund transferred into your bank account,
the ratio of 40% of the total sum is for your share whereas 60% is for me
as business pioneer.

Please i need your urgent response on assurance of trust that you will not
deny my right of the share once the fund gets into your account because i
am a poor civil servant who depend on little monthly salary. That you are
the one who will help me to get visa to your country immediately i resign
from my work on the instant of the transfer into
your account.

[its called immigration stupid]

If you are realy sure of your integerity, trustworthy, and confidentiality,
reply urgently and to prove that, include your particulars as follows.

Private telephone and fax numbers?..........1-800-callatt
Country of Origin?.................................africa!
Your occupation?..................................yes
Your official age?...................................11
Your passport or ID card number?..............666
In sincerity,
Mr belo ahmed.

Although I agree this can be entertaining this belongs in the Way Off Topic area so I'm moving it. Entertainment is for TV, movies, books, games etc.

The best email scam I ever got remains that one from the guy looking for someone to help him travel through time. I think I posted it in the Spam section a while ago.

Subzeroace · 10-30-2007, 08:08 PM

Oooohoho.... Yes. I get them and... other things... pills... other things x.x about 30 a day. I'm always amazed when I get something thats not spam in my e-mail.

Wasn't me.

One Radical Dude · 10-30-2007, 08:54 PM

Ugh, it was me. I wasn't sure where to move it, but I guess we both tried to move it at the same time.

Anyway, I get a lot of things in the email that I shouldn't mention here. Mostly nasty stuff.
