I'm Rich!...well almost

[rocco16v at netzero.net (L F)]

I always answers those emails with one of my own saying that I'll be glad to help them as soon as they send me a certified cashier's check for $500,000US as a token of their sincerity.

  The following is an e-mail I received this morning detailing the needed info
  for me to claim my millions. I do know this is bogus, but have forgotten
  where I should forward this, as I have seen the last few threads about this
  topic. Can someone please shoot me the addy's to send this to report it to
  the proper authorities? tia  Jeff

  Dear Sir/Madam,
  I am the General Manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
  department of the CONTINENTAL BANK OF AFRICA, NIGERIA. I am writing
  following the impressive information about you. I have the assurance that
  you are capable and reliable enough to champion an impending transaction.

  In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$21.6m (twenty-one
  million,six hundred thousand US dollars), in an account that belonged to one
  of our former customers who died along with his entire family in a plane
  crash, in November, 2001. Since we received the information about his death,
  we have expected his next of kin to come forward and claim his money, as
  enshrined in our banking laws and regulations. So far nobody has come
  forward, and we cannot release the funds unless someone applies as the next
  of kin as stipulated in our guidelines.

  Unfortunately, We have discovered that all his supposed next of kin or
  relations died alongside with him in the plane crash, and effectively
  leaving nobody behind for the claim.

  It is consequent upon this discovery that other officials and I in my
  department decided to make this business proposal to you and release the
  money to you as the next of kin or relation of the deceased person, for
  safety and subsequent disbursement, since nobody is coming forward for it,
  and the money is not reverted into the bank's treasury as unclaimed.

  The bank's regulation stipulates that if after five years, such money
  remains unclaimed, the money will be reverted to the bank's treasury as
  unclaimed fund.

  The request for a foreigner as the next of kin in this transaction is
  predicated upon the fact that the said customer was a foreign national,and
  no citizen of this country can claim to be the next of kin of a foreigner.

  We agree that 30% of ! the total sum we be given to you for your assistance
  in facilitating this transaction. My colleagues and I are going to retain
  60% of the total sum, and 10% will be set aside for the expenses that we may
  incur in facilitating the remittance.

  To enable us effect this remittance, you must first apply as the next of kin
  to the deceased. Your application will include your bank co-ordinates,that
  is, your bank name, bank address and telex, your bank account.

  You will include your private telephone no. and fax no., for easy and
  effective communication during this process. My colleagues and I will visit
  your country for disbursement according to the agreed ratio, when this
  transaction is concluded.

  Upon the receipt of your response, I will send to you by fax, the text of
  the application. I must not fail to bring to your notice the fact that this
  transaction is hitch free, and that you should not entertain fear as you are
  adequately protected from any form of embarrassment

  Do respond to this letter today to enable us proceed with the transaction.

  yours sincerely,
  Dr Olu George.
