I'm also willing to share my good fortune

I am Lanre Cole, the Human Resources Executive of Atlantic Oil & Gas
Corporation. On the 15th of May 2002, Richard Quandt, an expatriate,
who was a consultant/contractor with the Corporation, was found to have
died in a plane crash along the Lekki Peninsula while on
inspection
tour of offshore oil facilities belonging to the Corporation.

As the
Resource Executive of the corporation, I contacted Richard's bankers
and briefed them of this development. The bankers informed me that
since their client is dead, it is only the next of kin to the deceased
with the proper legal documents that can compel them to pay
his fixed
deposit as an inherited estate. With the position of the financial
outfit, I mandated the legal department of our firm to search for a
relative of the deceased so that he can be presented as the next of kin
to the bank. But the only relative of the deceased, one Mr. Sam Leonard
who was also the next of kin to the deceased according to his bank
documents and who was last known to have lived in Latvia Eastern
Europe, died as cancer patient some two months before his death. All
efforts to trace other relatives of the deceased proved abortive, as
all available links were exhusted.

Three years after his death, with
no news from any relative living anywhere and no one coming forward, we
decided to seek a foreigner so that the fund can be transferred out of
its present account to yours. The account deposit contains US$12
million United States Dollars and it is important that a probable next
of kin claims this fund within the next fourteen official working days.
If no one comes for the claim before the stipulated time frame, the
account would be closed as inactive and dormant and funds sent to the
coffers of the government. This is in consonance with the stipulations
of the enabling laws governing foreign inherited estates.

I seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased. This would
facilitate the payment of the proceeds of the said account to you. All
I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement
that will protect all the parties involved from any breach of the law.

Please let me know what you intend to have as your commission if you
agree to embark on this venture.

Best Regards,

Lanre Cole.</pre>

FROM THE DESK OF : MR COMPORE EMMA,
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION,
AFRICAN DEVLOPMENT BANK (A.D.B)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO,WEST AFRICA.

Dear Friend,

I am COMPORE EMMA, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of AFRICAN DEVLOPMENT BANK (A.D.B) Ouagadougou Burkina-faso West
Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a
business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end
of the transaction .

During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on
October 31st 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his
account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either
from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

The said amount was U.S 11.5M (Eleven million five hundred United States
dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information
through the Burkina-faso chamber of commerce on foreign business relations
here in Ouagadougou Burkina-faso.

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

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign
account and would eventually raise 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 foreign
account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his
request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the
correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from
to your own designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 65% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have been
adviced to keep "top secret" as I am 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 this bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask me 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 country you advice us
to invest in. All other necessary vital nformation will be sent to you when
I hear from you.
I look forward to receive your phone and fax numbers for easy communication,
Yours faithfully,

MR.COMPORE EMMA,



Count me in on the recent good fortune!!! I'M RICH BITCH!!!!!!

I am working with a Xhosa researcher conducting some research in South Africa's base of the pyramid communities. As part of that research, we were looking into some cultural studies today.

I was amazed to see that West Africans have had these scams since as long ago as the early 1800s. Witchdoctors would tell people that they must place money under large stone or basket in a special place and that the money would double or triple. They'd get them to put in a little, then a little more, then a lot more and double or triple it. Then, of course, the sting would come.

I guess new technology and fewer opportunities after 200 years of a scam and the business gets internationalized!:wink2:

Sankoh, he was the director general national gold & diamond Mining
Corporation of Sierra Leone. Before my father was assassinated he
confounded to my mother that he had the sum of US$28M. (TWENTY EIGHT
MILLION) dollars which he brilliantly defaced and lodged as valuable
consignment in a reputable security company in South Africa. He
instructed
that we should flee out of Sierra Leone immediately with the lodgement
documents which was issued to him by the security company during the
period of lodging the fore said consignment/money.
Before the powerful economic community of West African states (ECOMOG)
forces intervened which eventually resulted into civil war. I ?and my

real content of the box to the security company rather he deposited it
as
a valuable consignment belonging to his overseas business partner.
Meanwhile, I want to leave South Africa entirely with this fund for
investment in your country because of the stable political situation
and
mostly for my future.
Please I would want you to stand as my father?s foreign business
partner
who will be foreign beneficiary and who will assist me retrieve and
serve
as the guardian of this fund with whom I can plan my future and the
best
way to invest these fund wisely in profitable business. This is my
intention for contacting you. With your good and honest assistance, I
