as you consent to this I will immediately send you titled

documents to the fund in your name so you can make claim

for it.

the fund shall be transferred to you
legally in accordance to all laid down procedures
governing transfer of funds.

transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary.

Dearest One,

I came across your contact information and have decided to get in touch
with you after my prayers, to see if you can help me solve my problems.

Firstly,i wish to introduce myself as Jude Adel,The Son of (Late
Mr.ADEL
MOHAMMED) Who lost his life in the cause of the crisis in Cote
D'ivoire
on the 7th of November last year on his way to company ( Nestle Food
Plc).

My father willed in cash,the sum of $21 Million United States Dollars
which
he deposited in a Finance Conpany here in Dakar Senegal as a Family
Valuab
les with enabling conditions for the release of the fund which are as
follows:

(1) That I must be 22 years of Age or above.
(2) That upon request for the release of the fund,there must be
evidence of an
appointed foreign partner with investment intentions especially
outside the
West Africa.

I contact you therefore to confirm if you can absorb me in partnership
in your company or possibly advise me on any investment opportunity in
your
country as my foreign partner.

If after this mail you get back to me and I reach agreement with
you,the
Finance will release the consignment into your care and I will come
over
to your country.

Dearest one,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this
regards.
Your suggestions and ideas will be highly appreciated.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-

1. Can you honestly help me as your Son?
2. Can I completely trust you?

Kindly,consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.

Best regards, Jude Adel.

My Dear,
With all sincerity and humility it is with deep pains i write you this
message of wishful assistance to my predicament. I am Mrs Jewel Taylor
the estranged wife to the former president of Liberia who was asked by
unanimous decision by the international community to step down from the
corridors of power .

I write you this mail under duress and as a result of my recent
decision to better the lives of i and my children. I have made a
decision which i know might not be good in the sight of man but the
present situation has led me to this decision to better the lives of my
children. Currently now i have decided to make do with the sum of $20m
(Twenty Million United States Dollars)belonging to my husband in which
i am a benefiaciary to, i have decided to relocate with your
assistance to your private account the said sum.

My decision was reached when i could not conceive the thought that
after the United States Government has promised to let my husband go
free based on the condition that he should step down Mr. Collin Powell
stated in a press briefing that he would be indicted by the court in
Netherlands to face charges on war crimes, this is what led to my
decision as God Knows that i was never in support of his involvement in
the indecent maltreating of innocent people in Politics.

This decision is hard for me to make but i just have to make it for the
sake of my children's future.

Currently the said sum was lodged in a safety deposit box in a
financial Institution which i will disclose to you as a matter of
commitment to me and this plea for assistance. I currently have the
deposit certificate and can draw up a change of beneficiary mandate to
effect you as the beneficiary to the funds. I am a trained economist by
profession and it is in this line that i will want you to take note
that your services for assisting me will be compensated to the best of
my ability.

I have this to look forward to so i would like you to keep this
project close to your heart just as myself pending when we reach the
conclusive end of this project. I will want you as a matter of
confidentiality to respond through this mail and also include your
telephone number as well so that i can give you a call if the need
arises as we are currently on political asylum now in west africa. Once
i
get your confirmation that you can be of assistance i will bring you
into a clearer picture of the situation at hand.

View this site to see a picture of me:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2963086.stm

I look forward to your response with great hope of assistance from your
good self.

I remain Yours Truly,
Mrs Jewel Taylor

I'm very lucky I don't really get shit like that.

Look at it like this tho. They think your worth robbing. Just dumb criminals.

A coleague of mine gets spam adverts galore, If what he gets is to be believed he is a thick, obese, share dealer with no penis but that doesn't matter cos he's impotant anyway.

Once those fuckers get you on their mailing lists thats it.

Upon this discovery, we now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out by us for the funds $7.2M(Seven Million Two Hundred Thousand United states Dollars) to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin.It may interest you to note that we have secured from the probate an order of madamus to locate any of deceased beneficiaries.

I hadn't checked my old e-mail address for a few days, so I worked my way through over 1000 spam messages...

Interestignly, I apparently had e-mails from Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry amongst that lot. Billie Piper must be ignoring me....

angelina and hally, eh? beating them off with a not to enthusiastic stick are you? tragically i only seem to get contacted by the widows of dead african leaders and corrupt banking clerks. not sure if this latest message i got constitutes a scam but it is certainly spam:

Good Day,

Are you looking for a lucrative job? The job takes only 3-5 hours a
week , And it a chance for you to make over $3,000 extra per month
depending on how usefull you are to the company. Also you do not need to resume at any office to get started. Its a work from home and you do not pay any fee to get started . Try now without risking your current job.

Do get back to me if interested
Thanks
Tanya


the only forms of employment i can think of here you might make that kind of money for so little work is either as a high class hooker or a drug-mule. either way shoving things up my bum is out of the question! sorry tanya
