LETTER DOES NOT CAUSE YOU TOO MUCH EMBARRASSMENT AS I
WRITE TO YOU IN GOOD FAITH BASED ON THE CONTACT

THE SWISS GOVERNMENT HAS ALREADY FROZEN ALL THE
ACCOUNTS OF THE FAMILY IN SWITZERLAND, AND SOME OTHER
COUNTRIES WOULD SOON FOLLOW TO DO THE SAME. THIS BID
BY SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO DEAL WITH THIS FAMILY
HAS MADE IT NECESSARY THAT WE SEEK YOUR ASSISITANCE IN
RECEIVING THIS MONEY AND IN INVESTING IT ON BEHALF
OFTHE FAMILY.

THIS MUST BE A JOINT VENTURE TRANSACTION AND WE MUST
ALL WORK TOGETHER. SINCE THIS MONEY IS STILL CASH,
EXTRA SECURITY MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO PROTECT IT

CONTENTIOUS ISSUES DISCUSSED BEFORE THE COMMENCEMENT
OF THIS TRANSACTION. YOU MAY ALSO DISCUSS YOUR
PERCENTAGE BEFORE WE START TO WORK. AS SOON AS I HEAR
FROM YOU, I WILL GIVE YOU ALL NECESSARY DETAILS AS TO
HOW WE INTEND TO CARRY OUT THE WHOLE TRANSACTION.
PLEASE, DO NOT ENTERTAIN ANY FEARS,AS ALL NECESSARY
MODALITIES ARE IN PLACE, AND I ASSURE YOU OF ALL
SUCCESS AND SAFETY IN THIS TRANSACTION.

Dear Friend

You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am the first Son of the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he took me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$30 Million (thirty million United States dollars), in one of the security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company.

This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe, introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. it is against this background that I and my family fled Zimbabwe to South Africa for fear of our lives.

After which, I traveled to the Netherlands and I am currently staying in the Netherlands where i am seeking political asylum and more so have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account. Since the law of Europe prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of European Union. As the eldest child of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the
knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got.

The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of my family name for fear of going through difficulty in future. Both countries have similar political history. I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make arrangements with the security company to clear the Consignment (funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.
But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction.

If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 20% of the money while the remaining 75% will be for my investment in any of the country of your choice. Contact with my email- ( [email protected] ) while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
I await your immediate reply and God bless.

Best regards,

David Zuma.

NOTE:
ON YOUR INABILITY TO HANDLE THIS TRANSACTION RESPOND TO ME AND INFORM ME SO I CAN LOOK FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

Subject: HELP TO CLAIM THIS FUND.



Dear Sir,


REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP PETROLEUM (SPECIAL) TRUST FUND
CONTRACT AWARD REVIEW COMMITTEE

appointed by the Federal Government of Nigeria to review
contractAwards/Payments Approvals in the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF). Ourduties
include evaluation, vetting approvals for payment for contract executedfor the
PTF.

On the 10th January 1997, the awarded a contract of &#036;600 MillionUnited States
Dollars to the consortium of Abblummus, J.G.C.Corporation,Bouygues Offshore
and a joint venture of piebalignoles and Fougureolle, for an engineering,
procurement and construction work in Nigeria. But some top officials of the
organization over-invoiced the contract sum to the tune of &#036;636.5M with the
intention of sharing the remaining &#036;36.5M among themselves. But due to the
sudden proscription of the PTF by the new democratic

Government, their effort proved abortive. But now that the Federal Democratic
Government of Nigeria has approved the sum of &#036;636.5M for the concerned
foreign companies as full payment for the contract executed, and since each of
the companies are entitled to &#036;150M, we intend to transfer the remaining
%36.6M abroad into a safe and reliable account to be disbursed among
ourselves.

My colleagues and I have agreed that if your company can act as the
beneficiary of this fund (&#036;36.5) you and your company will retain 20% of the
total amount while 70% will be for us and the remaining10% will be used to off
set any expenses incured by both sides during the course of the transfer. It
may interest you to know that , some years ago a similar transaction was
carried out with one Mr. Patrick Miller, the President of Craine International
Trading Corporation of No. 135 East 57th Street, 28th Floor, New York 10022
with Tele Number (212) 308-7788 and telex Number 6731689. After the agreement
of both parties in which he was to take 20% of the money while the remaining
70% was for us, with the payment approvals secured and relevant document
signed, the money was duly transferred into his account, only to
bedisappointed on our arrival in New York, that he had changed address, while
his telephone and telex number has been reallocated. That was how we lost
&#036;27.7M to Mr. P&#33;
atrick Miller. We could not report the case to the authority due to its nature
as being utterly confidential.

This time, we need a more reliable and trustworthy partner with a reputable
companys account to transfer this money into. Hence this proposal to you. It
took us expensive ideas and money to fine-tune all the preparations for this
transaction to meet all legal and administrative requirements in Nigeria and
those of International Arbiration as the modalities applied in the case of Mr.
Miller have changed due to the incessant changes in monetary policies of my
country. However, we hope to conclude this transaction within seven (7) days
from the date of receipt of the requested information and commence the
transfer of funds. Therefore, we require from you the followings i. Your
Company name ii. Company address iii. Bank name and address iv. Account number
and account name Your telephone and fax numbers [personal/private] for easy
communication.

With the above information, we will use your company name to re-award the
contract, put up the letters of claims and apply for payment. We wish to bring
to your notice that the personalities involved in this transaction are Top and
influential government functionaries who will not like any form of exposure
and as such would want you to keep the businesshighlyconfidential. Be rest
assured that this transaction is 100% risk free on both sides.

We are looking forward to doing this business with you. Please,acknowledge the
receipt of this letter using MY EMAIL [email protected],while maintaining
maximum confidentiality. I shall bring you the complete picture of this
transaction on receipt of you

r response.

Yours faithfully

DR Kelly Uku.

Dear n00b,

REDMOND (DE)--World leaders reacted with stunned silence as MUSLEMAN conducted an underground nuclear test at a secret facility in the Kazaa Lite Related threads. The device, exploded at 9:22 am PDT (1622 GMT/12:22 pm EDT) last friday, was timed to coincide with talks between MUSLEMAN and the mods of this forum over possible antitrust spam action.

"MUSLEMAN is going to defend his right to answer every n00b question by any and all necessary means," said MUSLEMAN&#39;s keyboard. "Not that I&#39;m anti-mod" he continued, "but there would be few tears shed in the n00b industry if Kboard were engulfed in a bath of nuclear fire."

Scientists pegged the explosion at around 100 answers per second. "I nearly dropped my latte when I saw the post count" explained University of n00bs, n00bphysicist Dr. Whoops Balamm-over, "At first I thought it was Mt. Rainier, and I was thinking, damn, there goes the mountain bike vacation."

In Kbaord, mod leaders announced the Kboard would boycott all MUSLEMAN answers indefinitely. Minutes later, one mod reversed his decision. "We&#39;ve tried sanctions since lunchtime, and they don&#39;t work," said the mod. Instead, the administration will initiate a policy of "constructive engagement" with MUSLEMAN.

MUSLEMAN&#39;s Chief Technology Officer Intel P4 2.66Mhz said the posting justified MUSLEMAN&#39;s recent acquisition of the Kazaa Lite Related threads from the mods. Not only did MUSLEMAN answer "questions before n00bs even posted them" in the threads, said Intel P4 2.66Mhz, "but we&#39;ve finally found a place to dump those millions of useless questions and so called "problems" about KL++." Intel P4 2.66Mhz warned mods not to replace MUSLEMAN&#39;s posting with rival members like NIKITA69. "I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of a sincere intention behind MUSLEMAN&#39;s actions," said Intel P4 2.66Mhz, "but anyone who posts a question written by a bunch of long-hairs on the Kazaa Lite Related threads is going to get what they deserve."

(see The Post Count Times (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showuser=33186): MUSLEMAN up 600 posts in 4 days)

So, we need your assistance to keep MUSLEMAN alive in the Kazaa Lite Related threads. Our organization is NON-PROFIT, called MUSLEMAN-n00b Accord, LTD and it&#39;s registered tradmark, http://www.geocities.com/fshaitoon/mtrx.gif can be found in every single thread. Kindly wire us your donation for the amount of your choosing over &#036;10,000 and support your MUSLEMAN from the mods of KBoard.
