I'm gonna be a millionaire (x2)

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I probably shouldn't betray her trust like this, but I cannot contain my excitement. I'm going to be rich!

PS - Please don't tell anyone else, because I want to keep it all for myself.

***email follows***

FROM : Marriam Taylor
Freetown-Sierra Leone.

Please this business proposal is strictly confidential with due respect.

Sorry at this perceived confusion or stress you may have receiving this letter, since we have not known or met ourselves previously. Despite that reason, please save us from this situation as I hope that this letter will not constitute an embarrassment to you.I decided to contact you because of the urgency of my situation here and with this, let me introduce myself.

I am Mrs. Marriam Taylor (49 yrs.), the wife of Major Stephen Taylor, Chief Security Officer and Aide-delcamp to the president of Sierra Leone. who died during the Sierra Leone civil disturbances. I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment I received from my husband younger brothers. They planned to take away all my husband treasury and properties away from me since the unexpected death of my beloved husband.

Meanwhile I have four lovely children for my husband before his death (a boy and Four girls). My first and only son is twenty 24 years old and by name Samuel Taylor. I wanted to escape to the United Sates States with my children but they conspired together and stole my international passport and other valuable travelling documents. But luckily they did not discover where I hid my husbandls documents file where important documents are kept. So I decided to contact you confidentially.

They have even closed all my husband bank accountsjust to put me and my beloved children into suffery and starvation. Now I urgently need an assistance of a reputable and trustworthy Foreigner like you to help me receive and subsequently invest on my childrenls behalf the sum of US$ 10.000.000.00 (TEN MILLION DOLLARS), which my husband kept in a vault before his death. It therefore became very necessary and urgent that somebody in your foreign position should render a helping hand to safe-guard this fund for me in safe haven over there until my arrival in your country.

It is my intention to compensate you with 20% of the total money for your services while 5% will be kept aside for any miscellaneous expensesincurred by both of us and balance kept for the good of my Children in respect of some good investments in your country or other country as you may advice me.The fund cannot be transferred or moved out through the banks via telegraphic transfer system because all eyes would be on me.

This is the reason why I decided to contact you. Please all communications should be through this email address only for confidential purposes. Giving you my phone number will definitely expose all the transaction as any of them may eavesdrop to our confidential conversation. So the fund being a huge amount of money would require your help as a eputable businessman who can invest in any foreign country out side Africa. So to this end, I have devised a fool-proof method of crossing this cash by defacing the entire fund to avoid detection, seizure or diversion.

And move this fund outside the country (Sierra Leone) as a diplomatic luggage with the help of a Courrier diplomat service-man. He will be ignorant of the actual content of the luggage and will help to deliver it outside the country where you go and take carefull delivery of the luggage and arrange the necessary banking formalities after normalizing the funds. With all the arrangements already put in place, the consignment will leave the country to a security company where it will be kept till your arrival there to take it along with you as mentioned above.

As soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely.

Awaiting your urgent and positive response.

Thanking you in advance for your understanding and co-operation.

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs. Marriam Taylor

The worst part is that you know somebody, somewhere buys into that crap. I kept getting letters to the same tune from some Nigerian "oil company" a few years ago.

Subject: ABOUT MY LIFE


Good Day,

It is indeed my pleasure to write to you this letter, which I believe
will be a surprise, as we are both complete strangers.
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me; because I
believe everyone will die someday. My name is Mr. Wan John, a former
merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with esophageal
cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in caring for
my health.
It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only about
a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not
particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone
not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never
generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business
as that was the only thing I cared for, but now I regret all this as I
now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or
make all the money in the world.
I believe when I have a second chance to come to this world I would
live my life a different way from how I had lived it, now that its
dark for me, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets
to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close
friends. To correct my wrong past life, I have decided to give alms to
charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds
I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity
organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health
has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self anymore. I once
asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute
the
money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and
Pakistan; they refused and kept the money to themselves.
Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended
with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one
knows
of is the huge cash deposit of Five million dollars that I have with a
Fudicial Company Abroad, I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and you must be
sending me information of how it was disbursed either by email or
otherwise . I
have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience.

Thanks.
Mr. Wan John

NB
Please do not share my email address with anyone as I have received
some emails from some unscrupulous people claiming to be charity
organizations and other weird stories.


The end is my favorite bit.

I got the Nigerian one too. It must've caught quite a few people since all these new ones are spawning.

[DeV]

I always reply when I get one of these letters. I curse their ass so bad I feel sorry for them myself.

[Artha]

I sent them a reply once saying that I was super rich but careful with my money. I never got a reply back :(

I played their game for a week. This Nigerian guy kept calling me and I would let him try to sell me and I would always keep him on the edge. He finally quit calling me, but you have to think it wasn't cheap on his end -- and it was quite a good time on mine.

[Edaarin]

I also got a similar e-mail, but mine was from some Middle Eastern guy.

He even ended the e-mail, "may Allah be with you."

I very much dislike these people. When working at a credit union, this little old lady came in and withdrew ten thousand dollars to help this woman that gave her such a sob story. We felt suspicious and tried to get her to do a draft or some sort of non-negotiable instrument..

Sadly, she was suckered out of 10k and we couldn't do anything.

I suppose sometimes it seems like common sense, but some people just don't know.

[Warriorbird]

I wrote back talking about how we were long lost millionaire brothers, but much of my wealth was regrettably trapped in the upper Yukon... if he could go fetch it for me, 10% would of course be his.

ROFL, I just got this today.

REQUEST FOR BUSINESSPARTNERSHIP

In my quest for a reliable and trusted partner for ahighly important and lucrative venture cum investment, I came acrossyour contact as a reliable partner for this venture.

I amSir.Richard Mbali,one of the senior Accountants of AMALGAMATED BANK OFSOUTH AFRICA (ABSA). To highlight you on this proposal, there is anaccount opened in this bank since 1980 . After going through it, Idiscovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it would beforfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr.Ben Andreas, aforeigner from Sumatra,Indonesia and a miner at Kruger gold co., ageologist by profession.Mr. Ben Andreas was with his Family on holidayin his country.They died in one of the Coastal areas across Asia thatwas hit by massive tsunamis triggered by the worst earthquake in 40years.The number of people killed throughout Asia has now reached over226,000 with tens of thousands still missing.
It is a confirmed factthat Mr.Ben Andreas and his Family lost their lives on December 26,2004during the earthquake that occurred off the west coast of sumatra inIndonesia.This was further proved to be a reality by Dr.DotiIndrasantra,a director in the Ministry of Health Affairs Department inSumatra.Dr. Indrasantra visited South Africa last year on a Hiv/Aidshealth programme(2004 INTERNATIONAL HEALTH TEAM CONFERENCE HELD INSANDTON,JOHANNESBURG).i was introduced to him by the late Mr.Ben Andreas who i am his banker.I confirmed from Dr.Indransatra that Mr.Ben Andreasand his Family died shortly after visiting him in his house in Sumatra
No other person knows about this and my investigation further provedto me that his company does not know anything about this account and theamount involved as he made it his personal account. The moneyoutstanding before his death was (USD 26 Million) Twenty Six MillionUnited States Dollars.
I am now contacting you as a foreigner becausethis money cannot be approved to a national with a local bank accounthere.

I will also wants us to meet face to face, toenable us sign a binding agreement.As soon as you receive this moneyinto a foreign account or any account of your choice where the fund willbe safe. I will proceed to your country for onward percentagedistributions and investment. I need your full co-operation to make thiswork because the management is ready to approve this payment to anyforeigner, who has correct information of this account, which I willgive to you later immediately.I will use my
position and influence toeffect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your accountwith appropriate clearance forms of the ministries and foreign exchangedepartments.
