    You mean all of those things aren't Real ? What about the twenty-something UK lotteries my email address has won? Does this mean I'm not really about to pass Bill Gates in wealth. Please tell me it isn't a scam because I just filled up at the expensive gas station this morning. I guess I'm going to have to finance that fill up now. Maybe they'll accept my vehicle as collateral.

    Snopes is the best


    I read somewhere about a guy who actually managed to scam money from the scammers. He led them on that he was a minster in a church and that he would gladly send them the money they needed...etc...etc. But he heeded some money from them (for whatever reason I can't remember) before he could make the transaction. They ended up sending him money and then he told them to get lost. I wish I could remember the website. It wa hilarious. He posted all the correspondence between himself and them.

    No "hearth attacks" in mine! We're ALL gonna be rich, retire to the South Seas, and wear kilts all day! (Of course, I don't know who will make them once all the XMTSers and their suppliers retire. Hmmm...)

    FROM THE DESK OF MR UMARU ZONGO.
    AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
    FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
    BANK OF AFRICA (BOA)
    OUAGA-BURKINA FASO

    Dear friend,

    I am Mr UMARU ZONGO, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Bank of Africa ouaga-burkina faso in west Africa with due respect and regards, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of thetransaction.


    During our investigation and audting in the bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person, a foriegner who died on november in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with the 2002 bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

    Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the time of execution.The amount involved is USD$10m(Ten million US dollars).

    As it may intrest you to know, I got your impressive information through an international business equiry on internet.I beleive you will be viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem.

    Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as thebonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foriegn account has been put in place and directives/needed information will be relayed to youas soon as you indicate your intrest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to thisgreat business opportunity.

    In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foriegn account and would eventuallyraise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.

    This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn account where he will need the money to be re-transfered into on his request as it may be, after due verification and clarification to designated bank account.

    I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.

    On smoth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer such as telephone billsets, while 60% will be for me and my partners.


    Please,you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.

    I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment,either in your country or any other country you may advice us to invest in.

    All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.I suggest you get
    back to me assoon as possible stating your wish in this deal.

    your's faithfully

    Mr UMARU ZONGO
