Dr 42%er


Care in the football community is proved not to work.


It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

I got one of these in the post the week before last - on the same day as my Dad (in a different house, different village) got exactly the same letter.
What must the odds be on two winners from the same family?

hey I am one of those 17 international winners, I am away to buy the mercedes SL AMG i always wanted, and to ell with my cabon footprint :D .

When do you think they will send the money, never , your joking :p

Quote:
From The Desk Of Mr.Jerry Williams
United Bank For Africa Plc
Lagos Nigeria.

Good Day My Friend,

I am Mr.Jerry Williams Branch Manager with UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA PLC LAGOS NIGERIA,I discovered an abandoned sum of ($16.311 million u.s. dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers Late Engineer.Ronald,a contractor with an Oil Development company in Nigeria (NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLUEM CORPORATION), and,who here-in after shall be referred to as my client,on the Sunday, 2 February,2003,18:50 GMT my client,and his family were involved in Ikeja bomb blast unfortunately they lost their lives in the process of the bomb blast.

I cease this medium to make it known to you that since then , I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended Relatives, this is also proved unsuccessful,hence my contact with you, I have contacted you to assist 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,particularly with the United Bank For Africa Plc,where the deceased had an account valued at about (USD$16,311 Million United States Dollars).The bank issued me a notice to provide the Next Of Kin or have his deposit with them confiscated within the next Ten official working days.

Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now,i seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased to have the account confiscated within the next Ten(10)official working days.The reason for contacting you is because you are a foreigner and can act in the capacity of the next of kin to my deceased client,and as such will enable a change of ownership through the bank,so that the proceeds of this account valued at (USD$16,311 Million United States Dollars),can be paid into your account as the heir of the fund since no one came for it,then you and I will share the money in this ratio 50% to me,35% to you and 10%for any charity organization in your country,while 5% will be set aside for unforeseen bottlenecks we might incurred during the course of this transaction.

For clarity,this transaction is 100% risk free and you have nothing to worry about as all necessary machineries will putted in place to make sure this funds is paid to you as the legitimate beneficiary to it.To commence this transaction, I require you to immediately indicate your interest by a return e-mail and enclose your private contact telephone number and fax number full, name and address to enable me file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals before the transfer can be made.

Note also, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL because of its nature. For confirmation of this transaction please refer to these sites:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2698081.stm

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law.

I look forward to receiving your prompt response.
Mr.Jerry Williams.

$16.311 million , going to be a great xmas this year :)

Doc send me your full name , address , date of birth and your bank account details and I`ll forward them to Mr Mr.Jerry Williams and ask him to take a few $ out of my 16 million and send them your way.

We get these + the usual African scams on a daily basis.
Why aren`t these people bored of sending them by now?
Who still entertains these messages, and therefore gives them hope to continue?
Surely there isn`t a person left alive that would fall for them?

I received a letter from the SPANISH LOTTERY commission stating that I had won millions. Their computer picked my name, generated the numbers for me and voila, I won.

They asked for my bank details, etc to transfer the amount.
I duly filled this request in (:¦ and I am now waiting for the monies. :D

Unfortunately, yeah some people fall for it.
Especially as now we have everyone from young kids to Pensioners using the internet and email and these ar$eholes don`t give a damn who they`re cheating out of their savings.

And yeah, there should be a much higher priority and penalty with much higher emphasis on catching these criminals but then most originate from Nigeria....so you know how that would end up :(
