hehe I love some of the bullshit i get in my email lol:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<br /><br />FROM THE DESK OF: MR WILLIAM(BILL)EKE<br />REPLY TO :beke@totalise.net<br /> <br /> <br />Dear Sir,<br /> <br />I am Mr. William (Bill) Eke, Bank Manager of Orient Bank of Nigeria, <br />Lagos Branch.I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.<br /> <br />On June 6, 1997, an American Oil consultant/contractor with the <br />Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr.Barry Kelly made a numbered <br />time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$25,000,000.00(Twenty- <br />five Million Dollars) in my branch.Upon maturity, I sent a routine <br />notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.After a <br />month,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract <br />employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. <br />Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident.On further investigation, <br />I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts <br />to trace his next of kin was fruitless.<br /> <br />I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry <br />Kelly did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, <br />including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$25,000,000.00 <br />is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over <br />with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever <br />come forward to claim it.According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration <br />of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the <br />Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.<br /> <br />Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foriegner <br />to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Barry Kelly so that the fruits <br />of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt <br />government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide <br />immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will <br />prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which will put you <br />in place as the next of kin.We shall employ the service of two Attorneys <br />for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary <br />documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.<br /><br />We would need you as a Foreigner acting as the next of kin and sole <br />benefactor to the inheritance of Mr. Barry Kelly to travel and claim <br />this money in a SECURITY COMPANY based in Europe which is used by <br />my bank as an offshore payment center to the bank.The money will <br />be paid to you for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. <br />There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction <br />will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Manager <br />guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.<br /><br />If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private <br />email address below. Upon your response, I shall then provide you <br />with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. <br /><br />Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this <br />transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall <br />require your assistance to invest my share in your country.<br /> <br />Awaiting your urgent reply via my email:beke@totalise.net<br /> <br />Thanks and regards.<br /> <br />Mr. William (Bill) Eke.<br /><br />So if anyone wants the cash jump on it! <img border="0" alt="[Hi]" title="" src="graemlins/hi.gif" />

You know, I've been getting this spam for years and I always wondered what's the catch. Obviously the money isn't really there, but is the goal to make suckers just go to nigeria to try and claim the money? Seems like a stupid thing to me.<br /><br />WG

It's probably the airlines doing it and when they send that around, they jack up the prices to tickets to that country. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />

the catch is this:<br />you go there, those guys keep you as hostage and claim for money to let you go (to your familly or company)<br />if you don't pay, and a big amount of money, you will be "put to sleep" ...<br /><br />so I heard ...<br /><br />usually they search for prosper business man in the country they send the messages (usually fax or e-mail), but sometimes they spam randomly ...

Seems like such a stupid scam. Basically trying to pursuade you with money to kidnap people? I think the people who actually buy into these scams are lowlifes anyways who have no money, so I think the scam is on them! They're kidnapping people with no money and probably doing us a favour by putting them to sleep !<br /><br />WG
