Dear Sir,

I know you will be surprise to receive this letter but please consider it as a request from a suffering family in serious need of your assistance.

My family had to bring before you this proposal because we sincerely hope you will be reliable to assist us. Anyway, my i am from Zimbabwe.My father was ordered to be killed by President Robert Mugabe because he supported the white farmers who refused to give up their lands in Zimbabwe during the land reform crisis in the country.

After the death of my father,I am my family fled to South Africa, from where I was able to travel to the Netherland where I applied for asylum and I am currently living as a refugee.

We need your assistance to claim $15 Million US Dollars from a security company in the Netherlands, which my father deposited there before he died.You will claim this fund from the Company and transfer it to your country, after which we will then come over to meet with you in your country.

For your assistance you will get 10% of the total fund and 5% will be for expenses, while the balance 85% will be for my family.

We are soliciting for your assistance due to my inability as a refugee to operate an account with huge amount of money.

I genuinely solicit that you kindly help me and my family transfer this Fund to your country and we are relying heavily on you to help us.

Note that you will also assist us to come over to your country as soon as you claim the fund. We also intend to invest part of our share into a profitable business in your country under your supervision.

Also Keep this transaction secret and confidential as the lives of my family is at stake in south Africa.

Kindly contact me immedaitely so that i can funish you with the necessary information before we proceed.

Kind regards,

Mkes you wonder, who would fall for this sort of thing?

Too True.
U96: It was a Sun reader, what does that tell us?

[Mr. Goodbytes]

Pratts own the company that I work for, but they're Australian. Maybe it only applies to English chaps.

I saw a place somewhere (wish I had a link, sorry), where folks were making a contest out of how far they could string these clowns along. One person actually got them to send a little money to them!!

Lol!!!

I've never had any of these sort of emails; I read that some guy answered one of the Nigerian scam ones, and strung the Nigerian along and put him (the Nigerian) to all sorts of inconveniences and at the end of it told him what a sucker he was (or words to that effect )
