Well to me anyways....Dear friend,

My proposal to you will be very surprising, as we have
not had any Personal contact before. However, I
sincerely seek your confidence in this transaction,
which I propose to you as a person of
transparency,honesty and high caliber.

Let me first start by introducing myself properly to
you. My name is Robert Taylor, i am the son to
President Charles Taylor, the President of Republic of
Liberia. I got your email address from network
directory. I apologize if I have infringed on your
privacy. It may interest you to know that my Father
(former President Charles Taylor)has been fighting
serious civil war with the Liberia United for the
Restoration of Democracy (LURDS) for quite some years
now. The LURDS has been backed (all along) by some
foreign powerful countries.

Not quite long ago, the American government ordered My
Father to leave Liberia or be forced out of power.
Knowing fully well the capabilities of America and
other powerful members of the United Nations,my

Father(President Charles Taylor) decided on the 11th
of August 2003 to go into exile in a neighboring
country Nigeria to seek asylum. He is presently in a
town called calabar is Nigeria. A new government
headed by Vice President Mr Moses Blah has been sworn
in.

Based on these developments, the various foreign bank
accounts of my Father are already being investigated.
News just came in that one of the fattest accounts he
has in Switzerland has been frozen. In the light of
all these sad happenings, my Father, through the help
of his loyalists has secretly moved a sum of US$25M
(TWENTY-FIVER MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS]to a
private security company vault in europe and right
now,my Father wants the services of a highly reliable
foreigner that will receive the funds into his/her
bank account for the future survival of my family
because he cannot presently operate any foreign bank
account on his name. These funds (US$25m) arose from
various compensation he received from the sales of

rubber, timber and diamonds which are abound in great
quantity around the coastal areas of the country.

My father and I have decided that if you are able
assist us,you shall be compensated with 20% commission
of the funds, 5% of this money shall be set aside to
take care of any local or foreign expenses that might
be incurred along the line. My family will make do
with the remaining 75% of the funds. It might also
interest you to note that all security arrangements
regarding this transaction has been put in place,
therefore,you have nothing whatsoever to fear or worry
about.

Most part of this share (80%) for my family will also
be invested in your country courtesy of your full
advice and assistance because that is the most
importat part of this transaction. As you indicate
interest to assist my family,please kind send to us
your telephone/fax numbers for further discussion and
clarification.I will be expecting to receive your
urgent response for us to proceed to more details on
this pending transaction.

God bless you as you respond promptly.

Best regards,

uh yeah right, then send us a couple thousand just to secure the transaction. Bad thing is people still fall for it

Chris

This scam has been around for a while. I received one that had a dollar value of $75 million.
Your correct though, people still fall for this.

It is just greed and foolishness.

i got one just like that the other day. i was very proud as it was my very first scam e-mail. :D

I work at a kinda techy geeky place and our group was going to set up phony email address's, bank accounts, etc. to try and see how far along these jerks would play along. But we also have this minor thing called "ethics" here. Damn thing gets in the way of a lot of our fun......

We just really wanted to get a check from some jerk that says "pay to the order of ..... in the amount of $75 million"...

I got one too the other day...but I got one before. Emailed back that I didn't care about him, his dad, his people, or his country, to put it politely, but that I'll consider bringing his situation to the attention of the FBI if I get anymore email from him! :lol:

Here's one I got from Aminah Salami, the only daughter of the former Director of Finance with Sierra Leone Diamond Mining Corporation. (Yeah, right). She wants to give me $3,750,000.00 if I help her out, but that's negotiable. Would I sound too greedy if I asked her for an even $4 million?? :lol:

Naw, tell her 4 million or no deal! :lol:

Wow, I got the same one two days ago.

I didn't get one so would whoever gets the money just mail me some of it. :lol:

These thieves don't want you to send them any "up front" money. All they want is the numbers from your checking account so they can deposit your "reward" money.

That's where the trouble starts!!! Once they have the numbers from your account they will drain it before you can say "sh*t". Good idea is to copy print the message and give it to your banker. 8O

Scams like that only catch greedy people and the con-man figures the conee deserves it. It's a sick world out there!

Scams like that only catch greedy people
Hmmmm....maybe I should ask for $10 million. I've got my bank account number here somewhere... 8-)
