I got a 419 scam email from God

[Bossy Monkey]

Or rather, an OFFER FROM GOD ALMIGHTY. This one allegedly from the Solomon Islands (the email, not God almighty). $15.2 million, and she can't give the money to her relatives 'cause they were the ones who killed her husband! Gee, I can't wait to get in on the ground floor on this one. (Sarcasm smilie doesn't quite fit; need a fake naivete smilie.:))

2. I just got this from a bank accountant about a "relative"

Dear Friend,

Greetings!

Do accept my apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics, I want to introduce myself and this business opportunity to you. My name is Charles Koffi, a bank accountant.

I wish to know if we can work together. I would like you to stand as the next of kin to my deceased client who made some deposits to my bank. He died without any registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate.Fortunately, both of you have the same last name so it will be very easy to make you become his official next of kin.

If you are interested you do let me know so that I can give you comprehensive details on what we are to do. I urgently hope to get your response as soon as possible.


Best regards,
Charles Koffi

That almost looks legitimate, Jean!

Merry Christmas to you and best wishes for the New Year!

Ok, not really, but it would be funny.:)
