I am Mr.Abiola Williams the present officer in charge
of operations Central Bank of Nigeria (C.B.N) I am
contacting you in view that we might be of immense
help to each other. I have within my reach the sum of
(120.000.000) U.S.D one hundred and twenty Million
Dollars of which I intend to make someone the beneficiary
of the funds.
This money in question belongs to a deceased foreign
contractor in Nigeria of which I know 100% well that
the money is hanging loose and unclaimed within the
Central Bank of Nigeria Territory. Due to my current
position as a present worker in the bank and also a
Civil servant I cannot lay claim on this money.
I wish to contact someon that you will indicate
interest as soon as you receive this message, so that I
will proceed and put your name as the rightful
beneficiary of the funds and move the money outside
Nigeria with your name. I intend to part you with 20%
of the total sum, for your assistance while 80% will
be my own cut of the deal. Every record concerning
this funds and all the legal contract documents
backing the funds are all in my possession.
Please my good friend I want you to limit this matter
personally to your self, whatever your decision might
be, all correspondence must be through this mail box.
or my private phone number 234-42-255873.This deal is
100% risk free I look forward to hearing from you
soonest.
thanking you in anticipation.
Kindest Regards
Mr.Abiola Williams

I received such emails twice. I think they sing the same song but in different versions.
Be careful of those new dirty singers. |

I have had a sudden influx of emails like that including to different sites I am on. The funniest/saddest one is an older friends name was on it, that he was sending it to me from his grave; a former professor. There is one from the Ghana Chamber of Commerce saying we are sorry and found your name on their site and want to offer you an award for the trouble. They misspelled chamber of Commerce and the guy �s name, but the usual ones are someone dieing and want to donate through someone as their dieing wish or in God �s name while supposely stealing from their bank. |

As for me, I �ve been receiving messages like that quite often lately. The latest one sounded like that: �Greetings!

to write and reach out to you,TRUSTING that you will give this proposal a positive consideration.
I am Mr.P. Lee a South Korean,55 years old and happily married with children, and i am a Director of Hang Seng Bank Ltd,in charge of the International Remittance department.I will need you to assist me in executing a business project from our bank worth US$25.5 Million.These funds were deposited with our bank by a customer of our bank who is a

I have a divorced friend at work, another teacher. She joined a dating site and began communicating with a real romantic. He then "suddenly" went to Africa, "lost" his wallet (or was it "stolen"? He then asked her to send him money for a week �s accomodation in a hotel. She was torn between concern over his feelings in case he was "the love of her life" and her instincts that something was not right. She decided to check things... She rang Western Union and checked about flights. Naturally it was a scam but a more gulliable person would have been fleeced.
Moral of the story: be careful.
So does anyone know a "safe" partner for my friend...especially someone from South America! (She loves these guys) |
