Dear and esteemed Mister REV.DR.STEVE LONG,

I am sorry to say that I am in fact most thoroughly dead. However, I would still be happy to receive the $2.5 Million, since it will enable my last remains to be interred in a manner most fitting to my station. Therefore please forward the funds to my address and bank, provided in the sealed envelope within this communication. May God bless you and all your progeny for at least 7 generations!

Here's today's:

Dear Friend,

I am MR.Paul Dike, Bank Manager of a reputable bank in lagos,abi Province, and Republic of Nigeria. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.On feb 27, 2001,a British Oil Consultant/contractor with the Nigerian Mining Corporation, (Name deliberately with held) made a numbered time (Fixed)Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian Mining Corporation, that the depositor died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made further investigation and discovered that the depositor did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, US$20,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.

According to Laws of Nigeria,at the expiration of 7(seven) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as THE NEXT OF KIN to the depositor so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the Necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin.We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarisation of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour for the transfer.

A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 65% for me and 35% for you.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address .Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.

Also,Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address.

Regards.

MR.Paul Dike.

Following the un-paid legal funds investigation carried out by this office, it was discovered that you have not received your total legal funds for a while now even as you had tried in several ways and have spent countless money on several fees on pursuit of this project which now seems to you as an endless race.

I bet you didn't know they knew you'd tried to get your money! Did you ask if they are going to also give you the amount of money you spent in this effort?

Here's today's:

"Dearest One

I am Mrs.Rose Kablan from Kuwait.I am married to late Mr Abraham Kablan, who worked with Kuwait Embassy in Ivory Coast for Twenty-Six years before he died in the year 2001,after a brief illness that lasted for only five days.

We were married for Eighteen years with a daughter (Lilian)who later died in a motor accident.Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both born again Christians. Since after his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of (US$2.5M )(two Million,five hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a General Trust Account with a prime bank in
Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.

Presently,this money is still with the bank. Recently,Following my ill health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next eight months due to my cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or organization that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein,according to the desire of my late husband before his death.

I want this fund to be used in Activities like,Orphanages, Christain schools, and church for propagating the word of God . I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are unbelievers.
and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers.

I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know
where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.

I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always.I don't want them
to know about this development.With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in Abidjan. I will also
issue you the documents that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund.

I want you and the Church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.

Please always be prayerful all through your life.

Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.


Remain blessed in the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

Mrs.Rose kablan

SECOND NOTICE from "Michael Graham"

THIS IS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

We wish to notify you again that you were listed as a beneficiary to the total sum
of ё10,600,000.00GBP (Ten Million Six Hundred Thousand British Pounds) in the
codicil and last testament of the deceased. (Name now withheld since this is our
second letter to you).

We contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present
you as the beneficiary to the inheritance. We therefore reckoned that you could
receive these funds as you are qualified by your name identity. All the legal
papers will be processed in your acceptance. In your acceptance of this deal, we
request that you kindly forward to us your letter of acceptance, your current
telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file necessary

Our local paper just reported that someone in our immediate area actually sent $500.00 to pay the taxes so that the first payment of his multi-millions in lottery winnings could be released. He got suspicious when he promptly got a request for an additional $300.00. He was identified only as to his age, 52, so there's little chance that his problem is senility.

Good Day,
             This is a minor introduction my name is Stephanie age 40 on formal
introduction I will let you know the full name. I am from a royal family my
father was a king although late now my elder brother Albert will succeed him.
             My real essence for sending you this mail is as a result of the
death of my dad who was a king if you reply this mail and you are willing to
assist me with my endeavor to collect some money amounting to
£70,000,000.00 which my father lodged with a security company which I am
still in the process of locating I know for sure that the money is there but I
do not know for now the security company but I promise to find that out very
soon.
            I will need someone to claim it on my family behalf because once a
family member give you the power to act on his or her behalf then you can act
that was the way my father handled his funds if I claim it myself my elder
brother Albert and Caroline my sister investigating me and they will give me a
very minor share from it which I cant stand because as of now they have already
reduced my inheritance.
          Please help me so I can stand my brother and sister have shared
everything and he still has the throne of Monaco for him and my sisters son
would be the next ruler so they have it all planned I need your help please.

Hi Gurney
Guess we're a little off topic re pronunciations but I did qualify my last with the remark about one's own locality and local dialect.
Unfortunately in UK the schoolteachers no longer teach the rules of grammar, it being considered necessary only to be expressive! Hence we have the apalling use of English to be seen today. This seems to be compounded be the Spellcheckers on computers which are unable to distinguish between words of same sound but different spelling and meaning.
It is nice to find someone else who has an interest in the correct use of language.

Here in NZ our newsreaders seem to take delight in saying 'an horrific accident' or 'an historical occasion' which jars me because they DO sound the aitch.
Did you know that the editor of the Oxford for many years (if memory serves) was a Kiwi? Perhaps he was trying a covering move.
Don't believe there should be such a thing as a silent aitch, otherwise we would all be saying "an our an' an arf" and then we wouldn't be able to tell Londoners from people.
Why isn't there an H in aitch?

Story from Derek Brimstone.

"'Ow do you spell 'orse?"
"It's not 'orse, James, it's Horse!"
"I SAID, 'ow do you spell 'ORSE!"
"I've told you, James, it isn't 'orse, it's HORSE!"

"I've already got the H down."

Please send me all your money - or as much as you want to - or can afford.
Nice things will happen to you afterwards.

Gurney's comment about literacy is, I think, a little off the mark.

"If that famous man was slightly more literate, he would have said 'You can't cheat A honest man.."
Sorry, Rapaire, you just triggered one of my fetishes."

In the days of my youth, when English Language was taught as a school subject together with the rules and exceptions to those rules, the above comment would have been correct.
As the "h" in the word honest is silent, then the word is pronounced "onest". As such the word purports to begin with a vowel, necessitating the longer adjective "an" rather than "a".
Oxford English Dictionary is quite clear:
a, an - adjective. Before all consonants except silent H use "a"; "a" history, "a" historian, but "an" hour.
However, on reflection it may, of course, depend upon from whence one originates and the local dialect.
LOL

I found an address for the treasury department. I don't know what happens if you send your Nigerian spam to [e-mail], but I'm assuming they do something.
Of course I have been know to tell the spammers that I forwarded their mail to my cousin/brother/uncle, who works for Interpol. I rather like scamming a scam artist.

It isn't a new scam, it's the same old scam with the names changed to protect the guilty.
Just like politics.

sadielady, don't be ashamed. I've gotten such things from people who say that they are in Nigeria, South Africa, Iraq, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. There are those in every country would would cheat others, and there are those who will allow themselves to be cheated.

As a famous man once said, "You can't cheat an honest man." Most Nigerians are honest, just as most Americans, South Africans, Iragis, Dutch, and British are.

I'm a Nigerian, a very ashamed nigerian. We hear about these things back home, but most of us don't know just how bad it really is. I love the site, it's had me in stitches (yes, even in my shame, i still see the funny side).

I responded, directly back to him but not with my bank account info. I called him the Lazy Thief that he was. What is needed, is someone come up with a computer bug, that is sent back to him with a bogus account number, and when he runs the account number to deposit it into his own, it drains his account, and leaves him pennyless.

I've just found a Zimbabwean variation in my mailbox - purporting to be from the son of a black farmers union treasurer and worth 21,5 million, 20 per cent of which are to be going to the person who'll help them move the money out of Zimbabwe. Anyone interested? I'll gladly forward the mail ... But hurry up, or I may have deleted it!

What makes you think they are necessarily scams just to get you to divulge your bank details? The first one you get is to get up your nose so you reply with dire invective. They know you exist.
Like the old WW1 trenches joke of Tommy Atkins shouting "Fritz" across the divide and when "Fritz" (there must be one) looks over the parapet & shouts "are you calling me?" Tommy fires in that direction. There's more to the joke but I will spare you that.

Little Hawk, I spent 35 years as a professional paleontologist with a major oil company research lab. My legal eagles will contact you. I am thinking in terms of $25 million damage to reputation, $25 million mental cruelty, and $25 million legal fees (for my son, the lawyer). Other charges pending.
