    LOL they are a nuisance :( here is another i recieved, i guess air travel is no longer safe.

    From: "SANNI MOHAMMED" <[email protected]> Add to Address Book
    Subject: MESSAGE FROM MR. SANNI.MOHAMMED.TREAT AS URGENT
    Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2006 08:58:58 +0000
    FROM THE DESK OF MR.SANNI.MOHAMMED
    BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
    BANK OF AFRICAN
    OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO


    I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
    department
    of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK BURKINA FASO.
    In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of 22.85m US Dollars (
    twenty two milllion eight hundred and Fifty thousand us dollars)in an
    account thatbelongs to one of our foreign customer who died on 31th
    JULY
    2000 IN SUPER SONIC CONCORDE plane crash AT CHARLES DE GAULLE AIRPORT
    IN
    PARIS FRANCE
    along with his entire family.

    Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
    next of
    kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it
    unless
    somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
    indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that
    all his
    supposed
    next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash
    leaving
    nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I
    decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to
    you
    as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and
    subsequent
    disbursement since nobody is coming for it and i don't want this money
    to
    go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.

    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.

    I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
    respect to the provision of a foreign account and 60% would be for me
    and
    10% would be set aside for any expenses that would be incur during the
    process of the transfer

    Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
    arranged,
    you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the
    deceased
    indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private
    telephone
    and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where
    in
    the money will be remitted.

    Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
    of
    the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that 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.

    You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail
    through
    my Email box

    Your's faithfully
    MR.SANNI.MOHAMMED.

    Sadly some have fallen for the less elaborate ones, there are websites dedicated to playing these losers along and some have even got money out of the fraudsters first, there was a thread about it a couple of weeks ago in this section

    When I was into karting I used to get loads of the £1,500 offers for a £50 item, that was before these ridiculous offers.
