This is confidential, but i think I can share it with you guys

Dear MADAM



You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you don't know me
personally. I am Mr. DUBE NKOSI the son of MR ZUMA NKOSI who was recently
murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.

I got your contact through Network on line in my search for a liable and
reputable person to handle a very confidential transaction which involves a
transfer of fund to a foreign account and I decided to write you, my
late father was among the few black Zimbabwean richfarmers murdered in
cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of president Robert
Mugabe For his alleged support and sympathy to the Zimbabwean opposition
party controlled by the white minority.

Before his death he had taken to Johannesburg - South Africa to deposit the
sum of US$ 25.5 Million (Twenty FIVE Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) with a Security and Finance Company as if he foresaw the
looming danger in Zimbabwe.

The money was deposited in a box as valuables to avoid much demurrage from
the Security Company. This money was embarked from the purchase of new
machinery and chemical for farms and the establishment of new farms in
Lesotho and Swaziland.This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe
introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers and
some few blacks vehemently condemned the "modus operandi" adopted by the
government.

This resulted to rampant killing and mob action by the war veterans and
some political thugs. their condemnation of Mugabe's plan.
Subsequently, South African Development Community (S.A.D.C) has
continously supported Mugabe's new land act, it is against this background
that I and my family who are currently
residing in South Africa have decided to transfer my Father's money into a
foreign account.

As the eldest son of my Father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred
without the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our
family wealth and South Africa's government seems to be playing along with
them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this money in South Africa
for fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries
have almost the same political history.

More so, the South African Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such
investment hence I am seeking for an "asylum". As a business person whom I
entrusted my future and that of my family into his hands, I must let you
know that this transaction is Excellent free and the nature of your
business does not necessarily matter.For your assistance,we are offering you
20% the total sum, 75%for me and my family while 5 % will be mapped out
for any expenses we may incure during this transaction.We wish to invest
our money on commercial property based on your advice.

Finally,I will demand for assurance that you will not sit on this money
when it finally gets to your personal or company's account in your
country. If this proposal is acceptable by you, please confirm your
interest via the above TELEPHONE or you reply through email.

THANKS
BEST REGARDS.
DUBE NKOSI




This is the funniest email I've ever been sent. How was I emailed though? I never put my email address for anything other than forum-type activation. :confused:

You don't need to be signed up to anything. They just throw all kinds of e-mail addresses into the CC box and hope some of them stick. I got one like that, where I got it and several people with a similar address also got them.

I can't remember if it was Maddox or one of the SA forum goons that got an email like that. They responded to it. After a short time, the sender got the message.

It's the most blatant piece of spam. Send your credit card information. Allow us to take your money. That sort of thing.

It is funny, the way they go about it.

If they wanted money they should make it less confusing.

I've gotten a few of these emails before. They're really quite amusing. The question that comes to mind is: does anyone actually fall for it?

I get like 5 of those emails a week in my work account. They are annoying as hell and anyone that falls for it is obviously a total retard. Sometimes I just write back to fuck with them.
