Look at what I got in my e-mail! AS IF I WOULD FALL FOR THIS!
Dear Friend,

I here by write you this letter to seek your concept
and assistance in executing a deal which is a lifetime
opportunity in our branch located in Lagos Nigeria.

My name is Raymond Ihyembe, the Finance Director
with the Bank Of The North Limited located in Apapa.

I am writing this letter to solicit your support and
assistance to carry out a project in one of our
numerous branches where lying in an in-active account
is the sum of $18,420,000.00 (Eighteen Million Four
Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States Dollars)
belonging to a foreign customer by name Dr. Michael
Woods who died with his wife and two kids in a ghastly
car crash while on vacation in the Caribbean Islands.

Since he died the Bank has been expecting his next of
kin to come forward for necessary actions in respect to
funds claiming.

Unfortunately, after investigations we found out that
he has no family members who are aware of the
existence of such an amount and as such have decided
to do business with you, in transferring this funds
into your bank account as the beneficiary of the funds.

I want you to stand as the next of kin of late
Dr. Michael Woods, and then the money will be
released to you, after the due processes have been
followed.

Obviously we do not want this money to go into the Bank
Treasury because the banking law and guideline stipulates
that if such money remains unclaimed for a period of 5
years the money will be transferred into the Banks
Treasury as an unclaimed debt.

For your participation in the business, 30% of the funds
will be yours, 65% will be ours, while 5% will be for
any expenses incurred during the transaction.

Please reach me at through my email address, if you are
willing to do business with me, and kindly send to this
information listed below so we can discuss concerning the
modalities of this transaction,

Your Contact Address:
Telephone Number:
Fax Number:
Occupation:

I await to hear from you soonest.

Best Regards,
Raymond Ihyembe.

GOD what a idiot! As if ANYONE would fall for this!

2. But someone must fall for it
Otherwise they wouldn't still be sending them, would they? It's like the junk faxes I get - I cannot believe they elicit any business at all - everyone I know is disgusted by them. But they must or there wouldn't be so many of them, right?
