I have been on the internet way too long. Long before we had this fancy WWW stuff. I started back in the days of Unix, Gopher, telnet, BBS and long before 9600 dial up.

I have read many articles on people recieving the Nigerian email scam but I personaly never recieved one. Well before today that is. I recieved my first Nigerian Email scam.

Here it is..

[quote:15cb7]Dear friend,

I am barrister Williams Ibeh, a solicitor at law. I
am the personal attorney to Mr. Mark Myer, who used
to work with Shell-development Company in Nigeria.
Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife and
their three children were involved in a car accident
along sagamu express road. All occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate
any of my clients extended relatives this has also
proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, to locate any member of his
family hence I contacted you.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the
money and property left behind by my client before
they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the security company where the deceased
had an account valued at about $18.5 million (EIGHTEEN MILLION,FIVE
HUNDRED
THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS).They issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or
have the account confiscated within the
next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 3years now, I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased , so that the proceeds
of
this account valued at $18.5 million dollars can be paid
to you and then you and me can share the money. 60% to
me and 40% to you. I have all necessary legal documents
that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All
I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by my
email and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to
enable us discuss further about this transaction.
My alternative e-mail, willam_ibeh@sify.com
Best regards,

Williams Ibeh. [/quote:15cb7]
