damo Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 (edited) Lol i just got one of them but it had a different name i just deleted it though. Edit: just went through my trash and found it: Dear Friend, I got your contact during my search on the Internet. My name is Mr.Emmanuel Agyeman,the regional manager of a branch of one of the Bank's in 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's my duty to send financial reports to my head office in the capital city of Accra. On the course of the last year 2004 end of the of the year's report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made Two Million Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars (2,550.000.00) of which my head office is not aware of and will never be aware of it. I have since then PLACED this fund on a SUSPENCE ACCOUNT without a beneficiary. As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account. I intend to part 30% of this fund to you while 70% shall be for me. I do need to assured you that there are practically no risk involved in this. It’s going to be a bank-to-bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund. If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response and you can call me on this number 00233-244-275990. With regards, MR EMMANUEL AGYEMAN. Edited August 25, 2005 by damo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Thing is, if you send them out to millions of recipients, chances are that in the end some greedy/christian fool will be stupid enough to try and 'help out' (get rich). Then they get stung for their life savings and wind up on Watchdog crying about it. Just check the English in these things - least they could do is hire a Brit to word the emails. So far I've had about 30, one from Yasser Arafat's widow herself, and others from prominent people with loads of gold bullion. I think you should go for it. Or at least email back and ask how to deposit the money, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
