Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
I am John More the Manager, Bills And Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department in a Bank. Actually, I have a very urgent & confidential Business Proposition for you & for our mutual interest.On the 6th of March 2001,our Customer, an American National,late Jeremiah J. Ahern , an Oil Merchant / Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria, deposited, a valued amount of US$32Million in my branch.Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but
got no reply. After a month we sent a reminder, & finally we discovered from his contract employers NNPC, that late Jeremiah J. Ahern ,until his death Twelve( 12) years ago in a ghastly terrorist attack to American Airline flight 175 from Boston to Los Angeles,crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC) with 86 people on board. All occupants of the Aeroplane unfortunately lost their lives.
On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his Next of kin were rootless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that late Jeremiah J. Ahern , did not declare any Next of kin in all his official documents.This sum US$32Million is still floating in the bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one came forward to claim it. According to Nigeria Laws, at the expiration
of 12 years, the money will revert to the Ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.Consequently,my proposal is that i will like you as a foreigner to stand in as a Next of kin of late Jeremiah J. Ahern . This is simple. All I require is your honest and co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from a breach of the law. I will want you to send to me on your return email, the following information for the transfer in your favor
1) Your Full Name:
(2) Residential Address:
(3) Phone, Fax and Mobile #:
(4) Profession, Age and Marital Status:
(5) Company/Business Name:
Let's consider that our ratio of sharing will be as stated Thus 1. I as the originator of the Fund will take 50% of the transferable 2.You as the Manager of the Fund will take 50% of the transferable Fund.
Most importantly, CONFIDENTIALITY as what I saw as the life wire to the success of the transfer of this Fund must have to be emulated between you and me. You have to use this media to promise me that you will no in anyway expose the content of this transaction to anybody be it your Friends, Colleagues and Co-Workers.I will also want you to send your reply to this email
john_more1971@yahoo.com) as soon as you get this mail to enable us discuss on the modalities and processes
for success of this transaction. Thanks for your anticipated cooperation and understanding.
I wait for your kind response.
Regards
John

What could possibly go wrong???
via snail mail a few years ago. Poor dear thought it was real and he handed it to me to follow up. I just put it my purse, went home and shredded it. Luckily (at least on this occasion) he had a bit of dementia and forgot all about it.
Now, if I could just convince my lovely Great Aunt (his wife), who is on an extremely limited income, that Obama isn't really going to take away her Social Security check nor enact Sharia Law so she doesn't really have to send money to these people (she does -- ARRRRGHHHH!!!) . . .
Fucking vultures.
