I Need Your Candid Assistance.
Dear Sir.
I am sorry if this message comes to you as a surprise, due to my condition here and ill health, I am obliged to seek your assistance for the investment of the fund deposited by my late husband here in Thailand.
I am from republic of Sierra Leone and my Husband was formally the Minister for finance before the war broke out? due to the disagreement with the rebels, he was eventually killed during the war, before his death, he informed me of the fund he deposited abroad and hand over the documents to me incase of death, my son Ibrahim was the next of kin on the deposited paper.
After his death, I was forced to fled my country due to insecurity and treat from the rebels who take over the main city, though normalcy have returned to my country and civilian president installed but due to the position my husband held in the previous government, I have to seek for political asylum here in Thailand which was granted to me and my son by united nation.
Because of my nature of stay here, I decided to contact you to assist me to retrieve the fund out from here to your place and help me to plan for the investment hence I have been house wife through out the time I have been with my husband and my son was studding, therefore non of us have no business knowledge, the total amount deposited is {Three Million Five Hundred United State Dollars} $3.5m. This fund was legitimately made by my husband during his time in government, and all the documents is with me.
You presence will be needed here in Thailand to finalize the arrangement of getting the fund out.
I will offer you 20% from the total fund or be into joint partnership with your firm, I will like to settle in your country hence the condition of my stay here is not favorable to me and my son.
Due to my sickness my son can answer to you call some times incase if I am in hospital, I was diagnosed of diabetic and heart problem due to the pressure after my husband death.
If you are in position to assist me, kindly send your full contact details to me possibly your private phone number and call us on or send message to me on
I will be very much happy to give you more information.
My regards to your Family with hope that you will answer to my request.
Now who would in the right mind actually respond back?! :laugh:
 
Respond saying you want a 50% cut, and see if they respond
 
Demand 95% nad tell them to drop the money in a dampster or something, so that you can pick it up later.
 
Tell them you want pictures of them holding up a sign that says
"HOOL ROOLS!" or something.
 
Tell him that you'll only accept his offer if he can get you a thai whore too.
 
E-mail them back saying,
"Only if I get butt sechs first!"
 
Reply with the pain4.jpg. They'll stop messing with you all right.
 
Tell them you want them to take a photo with them holding up a sign saying something that only English speaking people would really understand (something like "o rly?").

Then post it here and we'll laugh our asses off because either they'll take a real picture or they'll photoshop (poorly) some photo...

FROM THE DESK OF HAMZA HOSSAN
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
BANK OF AFRICA.
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.

TOP SECRET
Dear Friend
I am HAMZA HOSSAN the bill and exchange manager at the foreign remittance department of BANK OF AFRICA.

I got your contact from the internet ,while seaching for an honest and trust worthy person, who will assist me to implement this transfer.

l discovered the sum of Twenty Two million and five hundred thousand United States Dollars (USD22.5M) belonging to a deceased customer of this bank. The fund has been lying in a suspence account without anybody coming to put claim over the money since the account owner late Mr Salla khatif from Lebanese , who was involved in the December 25th 2003 Benin plane crash. Here is the air crash website on cnn = http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html The said fund is now ready for transfer to a foriegn account whose owner will be portrayed as the beneficiary and next of kin to the deceased customer of the bank.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next if 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 guidlines and laws 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 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 I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I therefore soliciting for your assistance to come forward as the next of kin.

I have agreed that 40% of this money will be for you as the beneficiary in respect of the provision of your Account and services rendered, 55% would be for me while 5% will be for expencses incured during the cause of thIS transaction If the money is transferred to your Account from
BANK OF AFRICA, I and my family in this transaction will proceed immediately to your country for our own share of the money.

I expect you to keep this business strictly confidential and secret as you may wish to know that I am Bank official.

Be rest assured that this business is 100% risk free on both side and every arrangement to transfer this money to the Account you are going to provide have been concluded provided we maintain the confidentiality and secreceirity involved. Contact me on my email address I am looking forward for your prompt response.
Yours faithfully,
HAMZA HOSSAN
