I'm rich!!
Wow I can't believe it, just got the great news today in this email!!
Dear Friend,
I am the manager of the bill and exchange department of BANK OF AFRICA (here in Ouagadougou the capital city of Burkina Faso. In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of US$14.5M(FOURTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS) in a dormant account belonging to Late MR. PAUL LOUIS from Paris, France who died along with His entire family in July 2003 in a plane crash
Please visit this site that is one of the Incident

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because the bank cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as it was indicated in our banking guideline and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crashed leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you so that you can stand as the beneficiary to the deceased customer and to enable the bank to release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased customer for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill because the banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Twelve years that is almost near, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner, and I agree that 45% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 50% would be for me, thereafter, I will visit Your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to your designated bank account, you must apply first to the bank as a relation or next of kin of the deceased with a text of application that I will send to you, so I will like you to send to me your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication between each other and also about the location where the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application that you will use in claiming the money as the beneficiary to the deceased customer. I will not fail to bring to your notice this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
Thanks.
Trusting to hear from you immediately
looking forward for your urgent response.
Best regards,
Dr.Miles Davies

My wife's friend e-mail back with a contact number, and the person did call my wife friend back trying to get bank and SSN info, wife friend told police but they careless about it. Its scary to know that these people do go out of the way contacting you when you responded to them.

There was a show on A&E about additiction and the guy was so drugged up that he was actually sending these guys money thinking he was going to get something in return. He sent them something like $60K. Sad but true.
