it did make me smile somewhat….
Kind Attention:
Sir,
I am a staff of Reserve Bank of South Africa. I will give you other
important information if I receive a positive reply from you.I work in the operations dept where I serve as account officer to numerous customers. One of the customers whom I worked as his account officer was a wealthy Diamond Merchant from neighbouring Sierra Leone. He lost his family in the war. He was lucky to escape alive and came to this country with his wealth intact. Unfortunately he died last year.
Because this man was good to me when he was alive, I took it upon myself to travel to his country last month while i was on my Annual Leave, to see if I could locate any of his close relations . On reaching there I discovered that his only surviving Uncle died a few months back from Bullet Wound Infections. I sponsored this trip on my own and nobody in My bank knew I was undertaking the journey so I did not present any official report of my findings in Sierra Leone.
Now there are two things I could do with regards to the dead mans money.
First,as his accounts officer, I could formally notify the bank
authorities that the man is dead and has no next of kin. In this case the money would be forfeited to the government after some time. As a matter of fact this is the proper thing I am supposed to do.Another thing I can do is to arrange for someone else, a foreigner, to act as the next of kin to the late man so that he will claim the money.
This is the option that I want to take to help anybody that accepts to assist me and myself since the money actually is public fund due to the fact that my friend was a close ally to the late brutal military president that looted government treasury and that is why I have chosen to do it.
I want you to be my partner. All you would have to do is act as the next of kin of the dead man and the whole money in the account will be transferred to your account. As the accounts officer to the late man, I have all the necessary documents that you will require to claim the money in the account.The total money in the account is USD17 million. Your share will be 30% which is USD5,100,000. My own share will be 69%, which is USD11,730,000.
We shall keep 1% which is USD170,000 for expenses.
Reach me immediately by mail on (victor_baloyi44@o2.pl)
so that I can give you further details.
Also provide me you with direct tel/fax to reach you.Yours truly
Victor Baloyihmmmmmm……
August 9, 2005 at 3:00 pm #1066662I get a few of these. They make me feel quite honoured.
I used to reply with some random things, but I never got a reply. I read about one guy, though, who did manage to beat them at their own game.
It was good, I’ll try to find it.
Here it is:

Another stat i heard is that at any one time there are around 5 international buisnessmen waiting in UK hotels for their money. tut tut
Also theres a simular Scam going on.. on eBay of all places. Someone wins the bid for your item then sends you an eMail stating that they want the item but can only send you a cheque from someone else for about 10x the value of your item. Your then supposed to send them 9x the value of the item back plus the item. Something like that.
Bottom Line : If its too good to be true, its usually is 😉

This scam is one of the oldest in the book. Pre-Internet (eMail) it did the rounds as a fax sent to companies.
