Looks like the Nigerians found religion.
August 19, 2009 at 7:59 am
This morning I found this email on one of my mailboxes.

Quote:I am Mrs.Kate Moore from England I am deaf and has cancer of the breast I lost my
husband 12yrs ago without a child of mine.

I have to sell all my properties left by my husband because the doctors say i have
less than 2months to live.

I have deposited the funds of $5million USD which i sold from my properties and
deposit into a Bank.

I want you to help me use the funds to help the charity deaf and the motherless
babies home before i die.

If you are a good and honest Christian i shall give you the contact of the Bank and
also the Deposit Certificate so as to claim my funds before my death.Expecting your
urgent response and may God bless you as you carry out my wish.

yours dying sister.

Mrs.Kate Moore.

Naturally I forwarded all my bank details and wire transferred 5000 usd as a token of good faith. Angel
Best regards,
Leo van Miert

Ironic that an Englishwoman (so claimed) can't puncuate and spell properly. Big Grin

I remember a news story about a family caught by these people, big sympathy and all that and sure, I had some sympathy for the family who had paid these people expecting a huge pay out I guess but all the time in the back of my mind I was thinking, "You don't get jack shit for nothing, how fucking stupid are you?"

Easy come easy go...some people are just too greedy for their own good. Either that or too naive for their own good.
