E-mail:[email protected]Dear Friend,
First I must solicit your confidence in this letter to you (SORRY, MR. TUNDE….), this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret (DOES POSTING IT ON MY BLOG COUNT AS KEEPING IT TOP SECRET?). Though I know that a proposal letter of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive (NO!! NOT AT ALL!) and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. (THANKS, I FEEL BETTER NOW.) I decided to contact you due to the urgency needed, as I have been reliably awared (AWARED IS A WORD? AND WHO MADE YOU AWARED? MY MOTHER??) of your discreetness and ability in transaction of this nature.
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am Mr. Fowler Tunde (AND I KNOW THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME!!) the General Manager, Risk and Audit Department of the United Bank For Africa Plc,.

A Foreigner, an Germany, Late Engr. Shinister Wolfgang , an Oil and Contractor Merchant with the Federal Government of Nigeria, until his death years back in Kenya Air Bus (A310-300) Flight KQ431 (SO SAD! WHERE CAN I SEND FLOWERS?), has a deposit with us at United Bank For Africa Plc, and had a closing balance as at the end of September, 2005 worth US$35,000, 000.00 (Thirty Five Million United State Dollars) (WOW!), the bank now expects a next of kin as beneficiary. Valuable efforts are being made to the German embassy here by the management of United Bank For Africa to get in touch with any of the Wolfgang ‘s family or relatives but to no success. (BUMMER.)It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of Late Engr. Shinister Wolfgang ‘ s next of kin (He had no wife or children that is know to us). The Management under the influence of our Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors, that arrange has been made for the fund to be declared “Unclaimed” and subsequently be donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition to further enhance the course of War in Africa and the World in General.

In order to avert this negative development, I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to Late Engr. Shinister Wolfgang so that the fund US$35Million will be released and paid into your account as the beneficiary’s next of kin. (YAY! I’M, LIKE, ADOPTED!!) All documents and proves to enable you get his fund will be carefully worked out. (LIKE, IF I GIVE YOU MY BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER? YOU WOULDN’T WANT THAT FOR SOME NEFARIOUS PURPOSE, WOULD YOU, MR. TUNDE?) We have secure from the probate an order of madamus (IS THIS ANOTHER MADE-UP WORD LIKE AWARED?) to locate any of deceased beneficiaries, and more so we are assuring you that this business is 100% Risk Free involvement. (RISK-FREE!!!) Your share stays while the rest be for myself for investment purpose. (I BET YOU WANT TO HELP POOR CHILDREN.)

I got that e-mail…but with a different sender and the deceased had a different name.
I also got one several times from a widow wanting to open an account in the US for the sake of her poor children, but unable to for some reason.
I also keep getting one telling me to keep my eye on a certain company’s.
SPAMMERS can send some weird stuff! :hissyfit:
