Just got my first African scam e-mail:

Good day,


You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since
you do not know me personally. I am the first son of the
most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was
murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your
contact through network online hence decided to write
you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to
Johannesburg to deposit the sum of USD15Million (Fifteen
Million United States Dollars), in one of the private
security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in
Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as gem
stones to avoid much demurrage from Security Company.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines
and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new
farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when
Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe when he
introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the
rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this
resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean
war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot
of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for
which my father was one of the victims. it is against this
background that I and my family fled Zimbabwe to South
Africa for fear of our lives.

After which I traveled to the Netherlands and was deposited
back to South Africa and I am currently staying in the South
Africa where i am seeking Political Asylum and more so have
decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable
foreign account. Since the law of South Africa prohibits
a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to
be involved in any financial transaction throughout the
territorial zone of Southern Africa. As the eldest child
of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking
a genuine foreign account where this money could be
transferred without the knowledge of my government who
are bent on taking everything we have got.


The South African government seems to be playing along
with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this
amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going
through the same experience in future. Both countries
have similar political history. I am seeking for a partner
who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in
his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk
free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want
you to do for me, is to make arrangements with the
security company to clear the Consignment (funds) from
their affiliate office here in the Netherlands/ Germany as I
have already given directives for the consignment to be
brought to the South Africa.

But before then all modalities will have to be put in place
like change of ownership to the consignment. I have two
options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain
percentage of the money for nominating your account for
this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me
for the proper profitable investment of the money in your
country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to
notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for
all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this
transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing
to give you 15% of the money while the remaining 80%
will be for my investment in your country.

I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this
ransaction.

Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU

Best regards,
Nelson Mukoko

Not sure what to do now...

So, you received a Nigerian scam e-mail.

And then actually went to the trouble of hitting ctrl-c / ctrl-v ? I'm baffled.
