quote: Wema Bank Plc Lagos - Nigeria. ATTENTION: SIR/MADAM I am the manager of bill and exchange of the Foreign Operations Department of Wema Bank of Nigeria. I am writing following the impressive information about you through one of my friend who run a consultancy firm. He assured of your capability and reliability,Although I did not tell him the details of the business I want to do with you. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $15million dollars (Fifteen million United States Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along side with his entire family in November 1996 in a plane crash.Since we got information about his death, we have Been expecting his next of kin or relation to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately we learn that all his supposed next of kin or relations died along with him at the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind for the claim. It therefore upon this discovery that I and two other officials in the department now decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation of the deceased for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go back into Federal Government account as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained after six years. The money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agreed that 35% (negotiable) of this money will be for you as foreign partner. Therefore me and my two colleagues will visit your country for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Please be honest to me. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of the fund to you as arranged you must apply first to the bank as next of kin of the deceased. Upon receipt of your response I will send details and how we are going to carry out the project Note this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you receive this mail you should contact me through my e-mail address Best Regards AMADI PETER

As you can expect, my bank account numbers and passwords were immediately transferred to Mr. Peter. I'm thinking of going on a whirlwind global tour to visit my favorite Apolytoners to spread the goodwill and fortune that Nigerian Banking Laws have given me. I'll let you know my intenerary soon.

OMG OMG OMG this sounds like an once in a lifetime offer you must take it TAKE IT

You should write him a letter telling him that you, a warmhearted old priest who has never hurt a fly in his life, are absolutely overjoyed about his offer, as it offers you a chance to finally fix the roof of your combined orphanage, animal shelter and house for battered women, who'd all otherwise have to stay in there being whipped by cold winds, but who wouldn't leave because your warm demeanor and kind manner have made them all love you so much.

Include sappy stories about Mr. Tiddlewinks, the poor little kitty who was brutally molested by his owner and who you had to personally heal with your love, and Mrs. Throckmorton, who walked a mile barefooted to your shelter guided by Jesus to escape his abusive drunken husband who had driven her to snow with an axe. Don't forget to mention that you were so overjoyed by his generous offer that you already made the offer for the roof and for medical attention to finally cure poor little Sarah's tuberculosis.

Something in me wants to see just how the spammers would respond.

What's even more fun is to write them back and string them along, give them info they can't use, tell them you're coming to Nigeria to meet in person to give them the info they need, etc.

You can really work these guys and have some fun with them.
