Hmm pretty shaky email!!

So whatcha think? Think I should do it? LOL


From: barrister mark solomon
clement akpangbo and associates
legal practitioner
nigeria.


Dear friend,

Compliments of the season. Grace, peace and love from this part of
The atlantic to you. I hope my letter does not cause you too much
Embarrassment as i write to you in good faith. Please
Excuse my intrusion into your private life.i am barrister mark
Solomon,i represent mohammed abacha, son of the late gen. Sani
Abacha, who was the former military head of state in nigeria. He died
In 1998. Since his death, the family has been loosing a lot of moneydue
To vindictive government officials who are bent on dealing with the
Family.

Consequently, the family has asked me to seek for a
Foreign partner who can work with us as to move out the total sum
Of us$75,000,000.00 ( seventyfive million united states dollars ),
Presently in their possession. This money was of course,
Acquired by the late president and is now kept secretly by the
Family. The swiss government has already frozen all the accounts
Of the family in switzerland, and some other countries would soon
Follow to do the same. This bid by some government officials to deal
With this family has made it necessary that we seek your assisitance
In receiving this money and in investing it on behalf of the family.


This must be a joint venture transaction and we must all work
Together. Since this money is still cash, extra security measures
Have been taken to protect it from theft or seizure, pending when
Agreement is reached on when to move it into any of this countries
Holland,london, spain,pending on our agreement. I have personally
Worked out all modalities for the peaceful conclusion of this
Transaction. The transaction definitely would be handled in phases
And the first phase will involve the moving of us$25,000,000.00(
Twenty five million united states dollars ).

My clients are willing to give you a reasonable percentage of this
Money as soon as the transactionis concluded. I will, however,
Based on the grounds that you are willing to work with us and
Also all contentious issues discussed before the commencement of
This transaction. You may also discuss your percentage before
We start to work. As soon as i hear from you, i will give you all
Necessary details as to how we intend to carry out the whole
Transaction. Please, do not entertain any fears,as all necessary
Modalities are in place, and i assure you of all success and safety in
This transaction.

Please, this transaction requires absolute confidentiality and you
Would be expected to treat it as such until the funds are moved
Out of this country to where you intend to receive them.

In compliance with this you are to forward to me the following
Details: your complete names and addrress,confidential telephone
And fax numbers, this is to enable me perfect all the necessary
Documentation with the security firm and move this money across
To your country of choice.

Please, you will also ignore this letter and respect ourtrust in
You by not exposing this transaction, even if you are not
Interested.

I look forwards to working with you.

Thank you.

Truly yours

Barrister mark solomon.

Sorry about the lower case letters everywhere, when I got it, it was all in uppercase so I used MS Word to put it to "normal" and can't expect it to recognize names

So think I should send them my personal info? Maybe my SSN and credit card numbers too?
Still pretty shakey though, rather irritating because SOMEBODY might actually do it

I sent them my SS# a few months ago and haven't heard anything yet.

I am beginning to think it's one of dem intranet scams.


I sure hope that kid that was born without a kidney is doing alright. I sent $50 and also emailed it to all my closest, most compassionate friends.

People have done that, vass, believe it or not. Some figures I saw recently said that these scams have raised hudreds of million s of dollars for crime gangs in Western Africa.

So don't send your SSN or bank details, or you will only aid the cause of those greedy criminals.

Cheers
