I found this in my junkmail file today. Usually I'd delete it, but seeing as there has been previous amusement gained from similar scammers, I thought I'd see who could come up with the most amusing reply for me.

From The Desk Of Dr.JOHN AHMED.
Senior Staff In File Department,
African Development Bank A.D.B
Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso
West Africa.

Private Number......00226 76 41 92 20 .



PLANE CRASH WEB SITE. http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26...rash/index.html

( "REMITTANCE OF $15 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")

Compliment Of The Season,

On a very good day. I am (Dr.JOHN AHMED) a senior staff in file department in African development bank (A.D.B).I got your contact from a Yahoo Tourist Search.

When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured of your capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity when i prayed to God about you. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 15 million U.S.A dollars ( Fifteen Million U.S.A Dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in (Friday December 26,2003 ) in a plane crash.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines,

But unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one official in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner.

And a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60 % would be for me and my woman colleague. There after I and my colleague will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.

Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.

You should contact me on my number / 00226 76 41 92 20 .
immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you
immediately.

Yours faithfully,

Dr.JOHN AHMED.

POST SCRITUM :You have to keep everything secret as to enable the transfer to move very smoothly in to the account you will prove to the bank. As you finished reading this letter call me immediately so that we discuss very well over this business. Please call me and inform me that you received my mail, because i don't go to net always.

That is exactly what I was wondering :laughing:
 
I find 'you should not entertain any atom of fear' rather fetching. John certainly has an original way with words, and I can't see the slightest problem with letting him know all of your banking details, and perhaps your PIN while you're at it, too. What do you have to lose? :brows:
 
Oh, I got a cracker today....

It's Krizon again, take no notice Dom

As regards the 446 letter, I'm seriously under the impression that planes must be falling out of the African skies with the same frequency as the Radio 5 traffic bulletin reports hold ups and accidents etc
 
:D and a :laughing: Warbler! Yeah - don't they train their pilots any more?

"Ding-dong! Attention, ladies and gentlemen! Do we have a pilot on board?"
 
Crikey, I'm so lucky at the moment!!! I've won another massive prize!!!!

I love receiving these scam letters and have had some great fun reeling in the con artists who send them.
 
Homer, did you see there's a website devoted to scamming the scammers? I think it's called something like 419 or eatscammers - I'll have to find it again - and it gives people instructions as to how to safely play silly buggers with these cons.
