I got this one today:



Dear one
I am writting this letter with due respect and
heartful of tears since we have not known or met
ourselves previously.

I am asking for your assistance
after I have gone through a profile that speaks good
of you. I will be so glad if you can allow and lead me
to the right channel towards your assistance to my
situation now.

I will make my proposal well known if I
am given the opportunity. I would like to use this
opportunity to introduce myself to you. well, i am
FrancaKolo 22years young lady and I know that this
proposal might be a surprise to you but do consider it
as an emmergency.

In nutshell, My (late) father Mr Morris
was a very wealthy gold and cocoa merchant who based
in Accra and Abidjan respectively. But he
was killed along side with my mother during last year's
Rable attact and all his properties was totally
destroyed.

However, after their death I managed to
escape with a very important document (DEPOSIT
CERTIFICATE (US$6.7) six million seven hundred
thousand U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in the bank
which i am the next of kin.

Meanwhile,i am saddled with the problem of
securing a trust worthy foriegn personality to help me
transfer the money over to his country and into his
possession pending my arrival to meet with him.

Furthermore,you can contact the bank for
confirmation and i will issue a letter of authorisation
on your name,that will enable the bank to
deal with you on my behalf.

I am giving you this offers
as mentioned with every confidence on your acceptance
to assist me or take me as your child and manage the
money. I am inclined to offer you 15% of the total sum
as a mode of compensation for your effort after the
successful transfering of these fund to your
nominated account overseas

Conclusively,i wish you send me a reply
immediately as soon as you recieve this
proposal,please write me back with this email
address (francakolo03@yahoo.co.jp) Until then,i remain with
the best regards
Franca.

I always write back that I will accept the award, but first I'll need to shove a fence post up their ass to make sure that they're for real.

Amazing, I just bought this cool bridge in NY. Some place called Brooklyn. Never heard of it, but I always wanted my own bridge.

I'll be glad to. But I get my checks in amounts of 75K and above. But what I'll do just 'cause your such a close friend is send you a check for 75K, you can cash it at your bank and just Western Union the excess back to me.

You guys can laugh. My hangar is right down the street from Kev's shop. I have stopped by there twice in the past few days, and his shop is closed and padlocked.

I think he won, and is on his way to pick up his winnings offshore... errrr... I mean in London.

The landord decided this would be a good time to have the parking lot resurfaced. I've been here every day but the gates have been closed.

Come on out to Catalina and I will whip you up a cappuccino!

Ya know I'm kidding but it does have me thinking... girls in a small boat wearing bikinis putting around Avalon harbor delivering coffee drinks, it just might work!

If I had money I would be dangerous!
