My sydia_ hotmail account (which I use to correspond with IndieHuncakes; has she sold me out?!) has become full of amusing emails from mugus asking for my cash monies! Here's a selection of some good ones.
This one ain't even in English, but I think I've won a lottery of some type! How fortunate! Websites and numbers taken out in case one of you donkeys is stupid enough to go on it.
This one looks like a sure-fire way to rich-street! Emails removed to protect the...er...innocent?
The first one, and my favourite.
Anyone else got some amusing ones? They make for entertaining reading!
Needless to say, kids, these be scams! Don't reply to 'em!

Dear Friend,
My name is Michael, the regional manager of
International commercial Bank (ICB) Kaneshie Branch
Ghana . I am a Ghanaian, Married with two kids. I have
packaged a financial transaction that will benefit
both of us. As the regional manager of the bank, it
my duty to send financial reports to my head office in
the capital city of Accra . On the course of the last
year 2006 end of the year report, I trade with a
deposit amount of Twenty Six Million Five Hundred and
Eighty Thousand US Dollars (26,580.000.00) that was
deposited by WHO for contract of Food, Drug for the
United Nation of which my head Office is not aware of
and will never be aware and which I made a profit of
Two Million Five Hundred and Fifty Five Thousand
Dollars ($2,550.000.00).
I have since then PLACED this fund on a SUSPENSE ACCOUNT without a beneficiary. As
an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected
to this money thus I am compelled to request for your
assistance to receive this money into your bank
account because my government knows how much i earn
monthly and will discharge me from duty if they should
notice my dealing with a deposited fund in my branch.
I intend to part with 25% of this fund to you while
70% shall be for me while 5% for any expenses up front
the transfer.
I do need to assure you that there is practically no risk involved in this. Its going to be a bank-to-bank transfer which I only need to back date
your name in the file here and make you the depositor
of the fund. Before anything you must promise me that
i have your royalty and assurance that my share will
be kept safely upon my arrival in your country. Please
maintain confidentiality of this letter for security
reason. Update me with your information as stated
Tel and Fax Number.
Full Name:
Contact Address:
All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund and for this money is sent to your international account after which I will come to your country for investment. If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response and please you can get me on this email address xx
Greetings to your family
The first one, and my favourite.
Knows the truth!From . Miss Kate. koffi
Dear ,
Compliments of the season to you and other members of your family Based on your profile, l am happy to request for your assistance because I beleive that you are not going to betrayed the trust which I am going to lay on you Hope all is well with you and Other members of your family.
My name is Kate. Koffil. 21 years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs Koffil My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on 12th.November 2005.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time, but God
knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 6 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my Father on November 12th 2005 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he has the sum of (USD$7.5 000 000) Seven Milion five hundred thousand dollars left in a metalic trunk trunk box, wich he deposited in a Security Company here in abidjan, that he registered it as family valuable items for security reasons, he told the secretary that I should contact the Company for them to know me as his next of kin wich I have did as he instructed,
He also told the secretary that I should not let any of his relations to know about this because he was kiled by them and if they know about it, that they will do nothing but to kill me in other to take hold of every thing, He told her that I should seek for a foriegn partner abroad who will help me retreived the trunk box and also travel with him or her in other to continue my Live and Education and also to start a
Bussines relationship with the person whom can take cear of me in the fucture,
My dear, this is why I have come incontact with you in order to help me retreive that trunk box from the Security Companys custody and send it direct to your country and also to make an arrangement for me on how I will come over to your country in other to continue my Live and Education and also to go into bussines relationship with you hence I am still a child and I dont know any thing about bussines, Now
permit me to ask these few questions:
1. Can I completely trust you?
2.Can you accept me as your own blood Sister (Or Doughter)?
3.What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you?
Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible with your full assurance that you will not disapoint me in this issue so that i can give you the contact of the Security Company where my late Father deposited that trunk box for you to contact them on how the trunk box will be retreived from their custody and deliver to your country,
Thank you soo much for your understanding and may almighty God bless you and your Family to the Glory of God Almighty,
My sincere regards,
Miss Kate. Koffil.
