_____________________________

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a chartered accountant by profession acting as an investment consultant to very discreet clients in sub-sahara Africa.

My clients ranges from retired and serving Heads of States,Army generals,Ministers,Top government functionaries to private and distinguished individuals whose privacy is shrouded in topmost secrecy.

One of my client, an Ex-President have mandated me to seek for a reputable and well established individual to help channel some funds into profitable investment under his management.
.
The proposed investment funds is an estimated $50mUsd which is presently held in a vault in Western Europe.

I hope you will treat my request with expediency as time is of great importance to my client.

Thank you.

Sam Jackson.

Post by: FatalXception on April 16, 2004, 09:16:58 PM: That\'s not too impressive though, cause it\'s mass-email.

My parents got a hand-written four page letter postmarked from Nigeria a few years ago when these scams were just about getting your money. Now of course, they\'re often nastier ... about getting you to Africa where they can hold you for ransom.

Actually the companies such as Amazon.com did that long ago. The spammers are just adding fuel to the fire.
