Haha look at this email I got

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2002 18:42:03 -0800
From: "mohammed koloma" <[email protected]>
To: [email protected]
Subject: urgent assistance.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Sir,
It is my humble pleasure to write you this letter irrespective of the
fact that you don’t know me,' However, I was able to contact you
through
your company’s profile in your country’s Embassy abroad, in my
earnest
search for a reliable and trust worthy individual or group that can
handle such a confidential business of this magnitude. My name is Dr.
Mohammed Koloma Ali a family lawyer to the former Nigerian President,
Late General Sanni Abacha. Since the death of Late President, General
Sanni Abacha, the family has suffered a lot of harassment from the
present Government. Recently, the wife and other members of the family
were banned from overseas travels and are currently being held up in
their country home in Kano - Northern Nigeria. Although some money
in both Foreign and Local Currencies about $700 Million USD and Dutch
450 Million all in cash were recovered from their apartment. When the
late President General Sanni Abacha was in power, with the help of
some
American business men, he was able to move some suitcases containing
foreign currency totaling USD65 Million United States Dollars cash
with
a security company in Holland. The money in question now is USD40m
Million United States Dollars as already is in a security vault in
Holland and if you agree to assist us, we will go ahead to present you
as the beneficiary of the funds with the documents in our custody. In
this case you will have to travel to Holland to clear the boxes.
Then
the funds will be in your custody until our arrival to your country.
For your kind assistance 30% of the total sum will be yours and the
balance of 70% of the sum will be for us. Recently Hajia Mariam Abacha
spoke to the security company that arrangements are been put in place
for the claim of the luggages. It may interest you know that
recently
a similar transaction was carried out with one SIGNORE POALOLUIGI
a Director of Milano Construction S.P.A. After the agreement between
us in which he was to take 30% of the US$65 Million USD in one of the
boxes in the security company in Holland. The documents were signed
by him and some of the boxes was given to him as the original
beneficiary
which he took to Italy, we were disappointed on our arrival in Italy
to discover that MR. SIGNORE PAOLOUIGI was no where to be found. This
was how we lost US$15 Million from the US$65 Million USD and we are
now left with US$40m Million. In the security company Holland which you
will help us to keep in your custody. Note: There is no risk
involved
in this transaction as I am involved as their trusted confident for
the past 15 years. Therefore contact me on my E-mail address, should
you be interested in this transaction, keep it as top secret and be
prepared to invest part of this money into Properties and Realestates.
I await your urgent respond. DR. MOHAMMED KOLOMA ALI. LL.B LLB,
(Hons) BL. PHD.

Are you considering doing it?

It is a SCAM!!!!! My father received not an email, but a letter with that shit like 2 years ago. Of course he did not go for it.
Some people in my country has fall for it, they even have been in television shows denouncing (spell?) it, and have lost a lot of money they will ask you to invest in order to get the 40 or 65 or whaterver sum they are offering.

Yes it will be good to get that money, but don't dream about getting it that easy.

For those that received it in regular mail, your first clue is that there is usually no return address, your handwritten address is written sloppy and the only way you know where it comes from is the postmark...which when I got my "deal of a lifetime" it came from Nigeria. This one posted is the first one I've heard though where you actually have to travel. The one I got basically wanted my bank acct number so they could do a "wireless transfer". ummmm yeah

I'd do it. I really liked Hollad when I went. I'd gather up some of the fellas and we'd make it a trip. No way would a go solo though.
