Please once you received my proposal i will like you to show me your full
consent to enable me forward to you the full Details and also obtain an
official text of Application Form which you will fill and Apply to our bank as the next of kin.
I have agreed and also decided that 50% of this money will be for you as a
foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account which
you are going to bring for the transferring of the fund and 50% will be
for me and my Family.
Send me the below information
Full names.......

There after I and my Family will visit your country for disbursement
according to respective percentages indicated and I will also invest my

That must be the quickest $5.5m I have ever made! So sad about the entire family dying in a plane crash. Has anyone else reading this ever earned this much money this quickly? I am already thinking about all the houses I'm going to buy with all this loot!

Is it just me who wants to club to death any stranger who contacts me and starts with, "Dear Friend"?

Has anybody on here NEVER received one of these types of email? That really would be worth telling the world about.

Some clever geezer turned the tables on one of these bastards a few years ago. He wrote back demanding proof of who he was and got the twatt to hold up a newspaper so the date could be verified by and email attachment, and got the twatt to mail him 10 or 20 quid to prove faith.
The fucking idiot did it as well. What a bunch of twatts these lot are.
It was posted on the net and I remember having a larf.
Unfortunately these bastards prey on the fact that there are some extremely stupid, gullible and greedy people in this country.
I got half of 12.7mil when I responded and went and bought a mansion in Park Lane.
So I am extremely stupid, gullible and greedy.

Everyone has had loads. For a laugh it would be good to reply to one of these airheads and ask them to forward the cash to you, and when they do you will send them a small admin fee in gratitude for the millions you have now acquired!

Park Lane? A nice road with top views of Hyde Park, but there is so much traffic between you and the park. No, I think I will buy my mansions in the backstreets of Mayfair - quieter and less traffic. I am already planning which houses to buy. I can't wait to receive my $5.5m! lol.
