This is to draw your attention that your unpaind and overdue funds Ten Million, Five hundred United State Dollars Only ($10,500,000.00usd) lying in suspense account with the Central Bank of Nigeria is in line of payment.

In respect to this payment, one Mr. Thomas Mick submitted an application that you authorized your funds to be paid to him on your behalf with a report that you are now paralyzed as a result of the ghastly motor accident you had some months back.

After processing the application of Mr Thomas Mick himself which he made known to us that he came from you, he succeeded in getting some required documents as to make sure that we effect this transfer asquickly as possible without any further delay but the only problem now is that we dictated a lot of irregularities associated with his application towards your previous file and we will appreciate it if you answer the following question.

(1) Did you at any time delegate any body not even from your family to claim your fund on your behalf?

(2) Were you involved in a motor accident?

(3) Are you aware or related to one Mr. Thomas Mick from your country?

Also the delay in transferring the funds is due to the request for a power of attorney authorizing him to pursue this payment on your behalf. He asked for a week so as to submit the document, but up till now we have not received any of the documents from any of you. Why? please forward us the power of attorney by a return E-mail: so that we can have the funds released to him if you truly asked him to claim the said funds on your behalf. Reply to my personal email address mrabubakar.balarebe@gmail.com anwsering
those question to enable me note if you truly instructed this payment to him before we take the next action or you can also call me on my direct number +234-808-4183877.

That's pretty funny, because I definitely don't remember being in a ghastly motor accident. And I certainly don't remember it being bad enough to leave me paralyzed. But hey, what the heck? I reckon now's the perfect time to transfer my power of attorney right on over to some random Gmail account.

Speaking of which, does anybody else find it odd that the Federal Republic of Nigeria can't seem to afford its own e-mail system?

;-)

Update: Wow, Israeli PM Ehud Olmert is getting in on the action, too? Times must be tough for ol' Almost-Convicted.

*well, you being paralyzed certainly explains alot about this past weekend now.

This seems to be a different take on that same scheme. Before it is always giving YOU the money. Now they want to give someone else the money.

What is sad, is that we will become these dolps pretty soon when our country turns into a third world. We wont be able to distinguish between a legitimate email and one that is so bone-headedly stupid and obviously false\fake\spammed.

Tells you the state of your nation now doesn't it?

And Brian you laugh, but USA also will soon be unable to afford its own email addresses if these socialist\marxist policies get implemented by either of the 3 candidates for president. Yeah, shiver on that for a while.

*Sweet! I got such a fantastic offer from Benazir Bhutto's son Pervez Musharraf, just a day after Bhutto was assassinated. Pervez Musharraf (the son, not the president) offered me $10,000,000 to help him get his inheritance out of Pakistan.

It should be coming any day now...

*hahahahahahahaahahahahhaaa

I seemed to have lost contact with my pen-pal bosom buddy Captain Scott. He wanted me to help him get $10 million in Iraqi gold out of Iraq with the help of a British doctor.

I pretended to become his bestest buddy. But, he has not written me back. I feel all alone now.

RE: Your Payment Notification

This is to bring to your attention that we have verified and confirmed your outstanding payment that is yet to be paid to you, it has also come to our notice that you have spent a lot of money trying to get your payment but still you have not received your funds due to the illegal activities carried out by some officials that handled your payment.

This activity has been going on for so long and we have been able to track and arrest some of the officials involved in such act of the self interested and greed as they do not want to tell you the truth but rather they prefer getting your money and leaving you in the dark. I wish to let you know that the presidency has mandated and instructed us that we should immediately verify all this and carryout your payment without further delay to avoid any embarrassment this might course this nation and also yourself. In respect to this payment, one Mr. Thomas Mick submitted an application that you authorized your funds to be paid to him on your behalf with a report that you are now paralyzed as a result of the ghastly motor accident you had some months back and we would like to confirm the below.

(1) Did you at any time delegate any body not even from your family to claim your fund on your behalf?
(2) Were you involved in a motor accident?
(3) Are you aware or related to one Mr. Thomas Mick from your country?

Also the delay in transferring the funds is due to the request for a power of attorney authorizing him to pursue this payment on your behalf. He asked for a week so as to submit the document, but up till now we have not received any of the documents from any of you. Why? Please forward us the power of attorney by a return E-mail: so that we can have the funds released to him if you truly asked him to claim the said funds on your behalf.

You are presently required to get back to this office immediately based on this effect so we can carryout our aim which is to have your funds transferred directly into your account without any further delay and once we have been able to confirm every required information from you confirming your personal details. You are also advised to stay away from all communication with anyone irrelevant body concerning your payment as it will not do you any good, get back to me a.s.a.p to enable us commence with immediate processing of this transfer. Reply to my personal email address mrabubakar.balarebe@gmail.com to enable us take the next action or you can also call me on my direct number +234-808-4183877.
