Dear BelovedFriend,
I am Barr. Joe Lewis, a legal practitioner, I am
the personal attorney to Mr David Via ,a
nationale of your country, who used to work with
Chevron Nigeria limited,here in Nigeria. On the 27th
of January 2002, my client,his wife and their three
children were involved in Ikeja bomb blast here in my
country. My client and his family unfortunately lost
there lives.

Since then I have made several enquiries to your
embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful. After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided and do
some research in the internet, to locate any member of
his family. That is why I contacted you,and the reason
why i contacted you is to assist me in repatriating
the money and property left behind by my client before
they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where these huge deposits were lodged where my
client deposited US$7.4million dollars.
The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the Account confiscated within the next
ten official working days. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2
Years now I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds of
this account valued at US$7.4million dollars can be
transferred to your account there in your country,
then you and me can share the money. I have all
necessary legal documents that back up the claim we
may make. All I require is your honest co-operation
to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that
this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please indicate your readiness to assist me,so that
all the informations about this funds will be passed
to you immediately.You should send to me your full
names, your private telephone numbers,fax number
date of birth emlpoyment status, for easy
communications.And also assure me of your trust
and remember that the trust in business is
confidentiality.So let it be only between me and
you.If you give me your full coperation and this
transaction is properly executed,I am prepared to give
you 30% of the total sum for your kind assistance.60%
will be for me and 10% percent will be for any
expences we may incure along in this
transaction.Please get in touch with me by my private
email below to enable us discuss further.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Barr JOE LEWIS

Nope, only $3.7 million. Since you broke the confidentiality agreement, I'm gonna want 50% of your cut to not notify Barrister LEWIS.

[Blade6119]

no, 10% of the total sum is covering expenses!

[Shepp]

What I meant to say is that you will have to pay a few thousand UP FRONT and then you will never hear from them again.

[Joe]

but... but... all he requires is my honest co-operation

[Icy]

I get some of that everyday, even some from the CIA, i wonder if there is ppl stupid enought to email them back, but i guess there is as they keep sending emails like that...

[waltwal]

be careful on this. my advice is don't answer these emails. at least 2 people that i have heard about actually followed up on these inquiries and wound up dead. yes that's right i said DEAD! i can't imagine anyone believing this crap but there are 2 people who decided to follow up and actually wound up meeting with the people involved in this scan and were killed as a result of actual meetings with these crazy people.

[Joe]

does anyone remember the site where the guy emails these people back and fucks with them? Something like Ebola Monkeyman or something like that?

[Joe]

here we go again...

I am PETER BONGO the only son of late GENERAL SOLOMON BONGO of
LIBERIA.(i am sorry to say this but i have no altenative)
My father was one of the ring leaders of the (L.R.F.) Liberian Rebel
Forces. Due to his top position in the Liberian army and his high
reputation,rank and command on the Rebel section, he was in total control
and incharge of purchasing arms for the Rebel Force during the
catastrophe.According to his exert words to me he said

"PETER, NOW LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD AND FOR
THE GOOD OF VIVIEN YOUR YOUNGER SISTER. THIS IS TOP SECRET FOR
YOUR INFORMATION.THE ONE-THIRD OF THE MONEY MEANT FOR
PURCHASING OF ARMS FOR THE REBEL FORCES,I DIVERTED IT TO MY
ACCOUNT IN ABIDJAN IN COTE D'IVOIRE FOR SECURITY REASONS SHOULD
IN CASE OF ANY NEGATIVE UPRISING SITUATION ON OUR OWN SIDE THAT
HAPPEN TO CLAIM MY LIFE AS JUSTICE MAY DEMAND, LOOK FOR A
RESPONSIBLE FOREIGNER WHO WILL BE WILLING TO ASSIST YOU TO PULL
THE MONEY INTO HIS OR HER BANK ACCOUNT SO THAT YOU,YOUR
MOTHER AND YOUR SISTER WILL HAVE THE BETTER CHANCE OF
SURVIVAL. THE MONEY IS FIFTEEN MILLION USA DOLLAS($15,000000.00)
AND I HAVE TOLD YOUR MOTHER ABOUT IT.

As the situation was, the Rebel Forces failed and while i, my sister Vivien
and our mother were in asylum camp here in ABIDJAN, the Government of
Liberia confisticated the assets of the ring leaders of the Rebel Forces. My
father was the only General who was faced with public execution on the
17:10:2002 by fireing squard, he was charged with a capital offence of
treason. My mother on hearing of his execution died of heart-attack and
was buried at the cememtery here in Abidjan on 20:10:2002 leaving i and
my sister to face this critical world.
Now i have decided to pull the money to start a new life with my younger
sister because here in Abidjan asylum camp we have been abandon every
one to his or her own fate. Please if it touches your emotion willingly to
assist us, kindly send me your banking details such as
1) Your account name
2) Your account number
3) Your bank address,
4) Your private telephone /fax numbers,
so that i will submit them to the bank and introduce you as my late father's
foreign business partner. I promise to give you 25% of the whole money
and additional of 5% in case of any miscellaneous. Please this transaction
is TOP SECRET as my father told me when he was alive and you are bound
to keep it secret to your self alone for our own safty if you are willing to
stand as our beneficiary on this fund. My father gave me the deposit slip
and the agreementory letter issued to him by the Bank on the date of
deposit, and i will send them to you willingly for your clerifications if i see
your seriousness and willingness to assist us in this transaction.

Please write me immediately after you must have gone through my message
fill free and make it urgent I really wants to invest this money in your
country on a good business by your help and both i and my sister will come

PETER BONGO

[weinstein7]

I know one guy who fell for this. Some old dude in the Czech Republic got suckered, lost all his money, then got mad and went to the Nigerian Embassy in Prague and took out his anger by shooting a Nigerian diplomat. Not good times.

Hey I know that guy!!! Except he wasn't from the Czech Republic, and he didn't lose all of his money, and he went to another Embassy in Prague, but didn't shoot anyone.

[Desnudo]

I think you're thinking of the guy who was actually from Slovakia, lost some of his money, went to the Sierra Leone Consulate, and stabbed someone.

[Bonegavel]

No, it was something about two blind guys who drew their swords and shot each other.

One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other,
drew their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise
and ran to save the two dead boys.
And if you don't believe it's true,
go ask the blind man, he saw it too.

[sterlingice]

His name is Bongo *snicker*

SI

Um, yeah, that might be it

It's an old story, I was guessing at the details. Who would've thought someone would call me on it

And obviously the original post should have read "i know OF a guy..." Oh well. Minus 10 points for two counts of sloppiness (insert crude sexual metaphor here).
