Anyone wanna bet money on the fact that came from Nigeria? Here's another one floating around, I received it this morning:

Quote:
Engr Bunmi Imore
Director of Procurement,
Nigerian Telecommunication Plc.

Dear Sir,

SUBJECT: CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS ASSISTANCE.

I am the director of procurement, Nigeria telecommunication Plc (Nitel)and a close
associate of the immediate past Director of Finance.

We are presently in apposition to transfer the sum of Six Million; Three Hundred thousand
United States Dollars only ($6.3), acquired from deliberately over-invoiced contracts
involving the Nigerian telecommunication Plc (Nitel) into a private oversea account.

We have agreed that you will retain 20% of the entire US$6,300,000.00 for your effort in
this transaction, 70% for us partners here in Nigeria and the remaining 10% will be used for
refunds of incidental cost in the course of this transfer.


A fool and his money are easily parted, as they say. It's sad, but I can not believe that in this day and age people still fall for this crap.

SRX, Ive received the same one but with a slight twist to it. Another one would be they claim to have a huge amount of $$$ but its tainted, then they'll ask you for $$$ to buy a special solution to clean it and the $$$ will be shared. Sad to say, people still fall for this stupid crap!!! #Mad

sometimes, when your e-mail picks it up, it also distorts it to show that it's junk.
