mk3cokebottle Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 i got a letter / email from an african friend do you think my response was harsh ??? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Usman Ahmed To: .@yahoo.com Sent: Monday, 12 January, 2009 18:31:27 Subject: FROM THE DESK OF USMAN HAMED FROM THE DESK OF USMAN HAMED BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER, AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO. Dear Friend, I am the manager of bill and exchange foreign remittance at the department of African Development Bank (ADB). In my departmentn we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 22.6 m US dollars (Twenty two Millon six hundred thousand US dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in a concord plane crash in the year 2000 in paris that almost took the whole life of the pasengeres on board. 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 or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this businness 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. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after ten years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury account 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 will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for me and my colleagues. Thereafter I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement accoding 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 in the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or 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 as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately. Your;s faithfully, MR.Usman Hamed (Bill and exchange) AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ----------------------------------------------------------------- Find the home of your dreams with eircom net property Sign up for email alerts now http://www.eircom.net/propertyalerts hello there fantastic if you would like to discuss this further i shall arrange for you to meet me and my soliciter so we can arrange the transfer of monies , if you would like me to come to you with my soliciter then please book me 4 first class tickets for me too bring myself my soliciter and my two guards along with the flights i shall expect a daily fee payable in us dollars or uk pounds of £750 which will cover my eating / living expenses whilst i am in your company along with first class accomadation for the 4 of us so we are comfortable for the period in which you wish us to stay.

Admin Vista Posted January 14, 2009 Admin Report Posted January 14, 2009 Probably just means you'll get even more of these scammers mails and / or junk mail. Oh and personally I wouldn't use the name of the KKK even in jest, they are a far more unpleasant bunch of people than any African scammer
antz Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 I got one everyday from teh same email address. same letter. for about 4 weeks. in the end i replied back saying STOP F**KING EMAILING ME! not had one since
caprinerd Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 good reply except the kkk piece thats a bit of a dangerous subject to get involved with also i think you`ll find that the IP address will be bounced so its not easy to trace
