It's Been Left Up To Me To Help Form the "Bhutto's People Foundation"

[rcecale]

Sure, 40% of 46 Million Euros is a lot of money, but for crying out loud, these guys are sure asking me to take a big risk! I just might "incur an unpleasant situation with the current ‘figure of power’ in Pakistan!"

Read below for all the details:

E-mail I received today
Good day. With regards on the matter above, I am Malik Watdah, the personal aid to the late former Pakistan Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto. Two consignments containing 46 Million Euros for election campaign purposes were supposedly moved from Dubai to Pakistan through a Security Company. Due to the sudden and untimely death of the former Prime Minister, shipment of the consignments was put off by my order. At this very moment, the consignments are held in Malaysia. I am currently in London.The shipment of these consignments was and still is confidential. The knowledge of this information is only known to four close confidantes of the late Ms Bhutto. I am coming to you in confidence and I’m counting on your discretion in this highly sensitive issue. I was assured that you are a person of high credibility and standing. Hence, I need you to be our representative in claiming the consignments from the security company. The shipment was sent under a pseudonym as the late Ms Bhutto wanted to maintain anonymity. However, none of us can claim these consignments as it would incur an unpleasant situation with the current ‘figure of power’ in Pakistan. I will provide all necessary documentation for you as representative. A Power of Attorney will be drafted in your name legally. Upon agreement, we have come to a conclusion that 40% will be a handsome compensation for your confidentiality, kindness and willingness in assisting us. One part of the money will be used to start up the Bhutto’s People Foundation as a tribute to the amazing and charismatic Ms Benazir Bhutto. I hope you would be able to consider and accept our proposition. Further information or queries would be answered through email for the time being for security purposes and as soon as I’m able to acquire a secure phone line. I am looking forward towards your urgent reply. Thank you.You may reach me on my email at : malikwatdah@workmail.co.za Yours faithfully, …………………………… MalikWatdah )

Oh wait! He did say he was counting on my discretion in this matter, didn't he? Okay everyone, forget you read this...

Randy, just remember your Pelican buddies!!

[djmcmath]

Gosh, Randy, that's a lot of responsibility for one guy. Why don't you share the load, divide the burden of that responsibility some? I'm sure that there are some fine, upstanding individuals here on Pelican who would be glad to assist you in shouldering this massive burden.

Ok, seriously, I wouldn't mind a trip to London. Do you think I could talk this guy into flying me to London for an in-person meeting?

Stupid question: why is someone who purports to be from Pakistan (country code .pk), but who is currently writing e-mail from London (country code .uk) writing from an e-mail address with the ccTLD of ".za," from the Dutch "Zuid-Africa?" Say, you don't suppose this guy isn't quite who he says he is, do you?

[rcecale]

Come on, Dan! This came from the inner nets, so it HAS to be legit, right?

I'm sure the ".za" has something to do with him not wanting to "incur an unpleasant situation"...something like that.

Oh geeze! Now they're trying the American Military person angle. Is this crap ever gonna stop?

An e-mail I received...

Attention:Sir/Madam

My name is Sgt John Richard, I am an American soldier with Swiss background, serving in the military with the army’s 3rd infantry division. With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your kind assistance to move the sum of ( $ 35 million u.s. dollars ) Thirty Five million united states dollars to you, as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here, this is no stolen money, and there are no danger involved.

Source of money:
Some money in various currencies was discovered in barrels at a farmhouse near one of Saddam’s old palaces in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by staff Sgt Kenneth buff and I that some part of this money be shared among both of us before informing anybody about it since both of us saw the money first. This was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. Of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last week. You will find the story of this money on the web address below; The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a British contact working here and his office enjoy some immunity, I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. he does not know the real contents of the package, and believes that it belongs to a brithish/american medical
doctor who died in a rai

I have now found a much secured way of getting the package out of Iraq to your country for you to pick up, and I will discuss this with you when I am sure that you are willing to assist me. I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the assistance you will give to me. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please and please destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us soldier’s here in Iraq. I do not know how long we will remain here, and i have been shot, wounded and survived two suicide bomb attacks by the special grace of God, this and other reasons i will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help, i honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately, please contact me as soon as possible my only way of communication email.

God Bless
Sgt John Richard.

Yeah, what the he!!?...I move amounts a lot larger than $35 mil, all the time. This is just a walk in the park

I can't say I'm not disapointed. Such a momentous task falls to you and despite pleas for confidentiality you blab it all over PPOTBBS. Better send us alla hundred bucks or someone will let the cat out of the bag and you'll lose this highly lucrative oportunity. If you don't pay us and the deal falls apart, don't say I didn't warn you.

You can send my money through NigerianEscrow.com
