Thought I'd share this with you lot cos it is by far the worst I've seen, and made me laugh at how pathetic it is....

"My Dear Good Day,
PLEASE URGENT ATTN.Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics.I am Mr SULEMAN MUHAMMED The manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of our Bank of Africa BOA.

In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of US$8.5M, (Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) with an account number which is this 14-2558-5976 that belong to one of our foreign customers who died along with his wife and only daughter in a plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight number 261 which crashed on January 31, 2003.

The owner of this account is Mr. Morris Thompson an American and great industrialist and a resident of Alaska. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and for our bank to release the money to you. You have to follow the instruction which I will be send to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into our bank treasury as unclaimed bill

The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after nine 8years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The money has now stayed more than six to seven years and I have aready prepared the documentaion to prove that this money has been transfered to our bank treasury. It will be between me and you only that will know that the money is not transfered into our treasure

This request of foreigner as next of kin in this transaction is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and as an insider cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner In appreciation of your assistance, I am offering you 40% of the total sum. 10% for contingencies (cost of transfer/other charges) likely to be incurred during the course of transaction,
while the remaining 50% is for me.Upon receipt of your reply.
I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application which you will complete and forward to our bank asking for this money to be paid to your account as the next of kin

I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you recceive this mail, And you have to give mre this information bellow
1. NAME IN FULL:................................
2. ADDRESS:.......................................
3. NATIONALITY:....................................
4. AGE:..............................................

i had one that ended in something like "If you don't think you are fitting for this position, or do not have the qualifications, please ignore this email"

I'll be damned if some Nigerian Scammer told me i'm not good enough, so i sent him all my details.
I bet he'll feel pretty silly at the end of it all!

Just for once, can we (the members of PH) actually reply to one of these, just for the hell of it, and post it up?
