Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

I've just found out that I'm going to be rich. All I need to do is just be a stupid idiot and fall for this scam ... urmmm, I mean proposal. How hard can that be right? Being stupid comes naturally to me ... LOL!

Sometimes I'm amazed at how bold some people can be about trying to hoodwink people. I know I've posted about something like this before but I cannot help posting about it again. It did give me a good laugh to begin with.

Here, let me share my laughter with you guys. And don't worry, when I collect my $15.5 million U.S.A. Dollars (Hey, I'm only copying how it was written below), I'll buy and island and invite all you over for a free one year holiday.

But ... urrrmmmmm ... first you all have to email me your bank account numbers and deposit a $2000 U.S.A Dollars for processing fee that will be returned when you arrive on my island ... really, I won't cheat you, you're all my friends ... hahaha!

Attention Please,

("REMITTANCE OF $15.5 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS (see, I told you that was how it was written)

CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")

Compliment (compliment???) of the Season,

I am (MR MOHAMMED KHALI)
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK GROUP (AFDB)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO, WEST AFRICA )

I got your mail address through the international network business media directorates (whoa, I must be pretty important cos I'm listed in the international business media directorates ... LOL!) when I was looking for a sure contact of someone who can assist me conclude up this transaction.

When i was searching for a foreign partner I assured of your capability (I assured of your capability ... ??? Damn good grammar man!) and reliability to champion this business opportunity when I prayed to the most high (wow, someone prayed to the most high for me ... hahaha!) about you. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $15.5million U.S.A dollars ( Fifteen Million Five Hundred United State Dollars).

In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family (OMG! Poor souls!) in air crashed into the plan crash as it approached in bad weather early He died on the Monday 31st July 2000 at 13:22 GMT 14:22 UK in German Concorde victims Plane Crash with his family in a plane crash. (I wonder if there really was an air crash on 31st July 2000?)

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin relation died alongside with (OMG! You mean they all died in the plane crash? What crappy luck!) him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one official in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. (See, I told you guys I was going to be filthy rich ... LOL!)

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner, and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

We agree that 30 % of this money (only 30%? Are you kidding me?) will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during the process of the transaction and 60 % would be for me and my woman colleague. There after I and my colleague will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.

Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted. (Oh boy, I gotta hurry along and do this!)

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by email the text of the application I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear (any atom of fear, such big words!) as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.

Reply me immediately. (reply me immediately ... hahaha!)

Yours faithfully,

MR MOHAMMED KHALI

POST SCRITUM: (Post Scritum? Aiyaaa, no spell checker ah?)
NOTE You have to keep everything secret as to enable the transfer to move very smoothly in to the account you will provide to the bank. (Oh man, you guys pretend you never read this, ok?) As you finished reading this letter call me immediately so that we will discuss very well over this business. (ok folks, I gotta go and call Me Mohammed Khali now, so if you'll excuse me ....) Please call me and inform me that you received my mail, because i don't go to net always. mohammed.khali@sify.com

There you have it. Now you all know I'm going to be a filthy rich millionaire soon ... LOL! I knew my ship would come in soon. I wonder if there are really any gullible souls out there that would fall for this. I suppose there are cos these people still keep on sending these emails in the hope that some poor fool will reply.

I wonder what I should spend on first with my millions? An iPhone? A Ferrari? My own private jet? So much money and don't know what to spend it on ... hahaha ... Well, it did give me a good laugh anyway ... and urrmmm, don't forget to email me your banking details and deposit that $2000.00 U.S.A dollars now, you hear?
