    I've gotten a couple of bogus spams, here's a copy of one, how about you?

    FROM:BARRISTER CHURCHILL OKOCHA ESQ.
    OKOCHA & CO
    ATTORNEYS/LEGAL PRACTITIONER
    NIGERIA


    WE NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE.


    DEAR FRIEND,

    COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON. GRACE AND PEACE AND LOVE
    FROM THIS PART OF THE ATLANTIC TO YOU. I HOPE MY
    LETTER DOES NOT CAUSE YOU TOO MUCH EMBARRASSMENT AS I
    WRITE TO YOU IN GOOD FAITH BASED ON THE CONTACT
    ADDRESS GIVEN TO ME BY A FRIEND WHO WORKS AT THE
    NIGERIAN EMBASSY IN YOUR COUNTRY. PLEASE EXCUSE MY
    INTRUSION INTO YOUR PRIVATE LIFE.

    I AM BARRISTER CHURCHILL OKOCHA ESQ. I REPRESENT MOHAMMED
    ABACHA, SON OF THE LATE GEN.SANI ABACHA, WHO WAS THE
    FORMER MILITARY HEAD OF STATE IN NIGERIA. HE DIED IN
    1998. SINCE HIS DEATH, THE FAMILY HAS BEEN LOSING A
    LOT OF MONEY DUE TO VINDICTIVE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
    WHO ARE BENT ON DEALING WITH THE FAMILY. BASED ON THIS
    THEREFORE, THE FAMILY HAS ASKED ME TO SEEK FOR A
    FOREIGN PARTNER WHO CAN WORK WITH US AS TO MOVE OUT
    THE TOTAL SUM OF US$75,000,000.00 ( SEVENTY FIVE
    MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ), PRESENTLY IN THEIR
    POSSESSION. THIS MONEY WAS OF COURSE, ACQUIRED BY THE
    LATE PRESIDENT AND IS NOW KEPT SECRETLY BY THE FAMILY.
    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
    FROM THEFT OR SEIZURE, PENDING WHEN AGREEMENT IS
    REACHED ON WHEN AND HOW TO MOVE IT INTO ANY OF YOUR
    NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNTS. I HAVE PERSONALLY WORKED OUT
    ALL MODALITIES FOR THE PEACEFUL CONCLUSION OF THIS
    TRANSACTION. THE TRANSACTION DEFINITELY WOULD BE
    HANDLED IN PHASES AND THE FIRST PHASE WILL INVOLVE THE
    MOVING OF US$25,000,000.00( TWENTY FIVE MILLION
    UNITEDSTATES DOLLARS ).

    MY CLIENTS ARE WILLING TO GIVE YOU A REASONABLE
    PERCENTAGE OF THIS MONEY AS SOON AS THE TRANSACTIONIS
    CONCLUDED. I WILL, HOWEVER, BASED ON THE GROUNDS THAT
    YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH US AND ALSO ALL
    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.

    PLEASE, THIS TRANSACTION REQUIRES ABSOLUTE
    CONFIDENTIALITY AND YOU WOULD BE EXPECTED TO TREAT IT
    AS SUCH UNTIL THE FUNDS ARE MOVED OUT OF THIS COUNTRY.

    PLEASE, YOU WILL ALSO IGNORE THIS LETTER AND RESPECT
    OUR TRUST IN YOU BY NOT EXPOSING THIS TRANSACTION,
    EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED.LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
    WITH YOU. THANK YOU.

    TRULY YOURS,

    BARRISTER CHURCHILL OKOCHA ESQ.

    I dont understand how this is a scam. All they want to do is trasfer money into your account. How can they do anything bad. You give them your bank accout info and some other personel info and your account will have $25 mil in it.


    Minus all the money they are stealing from you while you are waiting for this to happen. Where do I sign up!

    I haven't had any of those, I think they know too much about me.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    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.
