To: My Most Trusted Confidante

I write to you with utmost urgency. I am David Toulousa Binkoe, Chief Operations Officer of the United Bank of Swindlersa, Cote D'Ivoire. A few years ago, my personal client whom I have known for many years entrusted me with US$15 million and asked me to open a fixed deposit in his name. Nobody else knows of his bank account expect me, as he did not want his money to be in the hands of his 3 ungrateful sons if anything happens to him. His wife died many years ago already. I did as I was instructed and opened the account for him with a tenure of 3 years. But a few days ago, I found out that he died of a heart attack.

His sons do not know about this account at all and the account will mature in only 2 weeks time. I have the power to withdraw it but I will need to do it quickly before the Board Committee of the bank finds out about his death. If they do, they will surely take the funds for their own purposes which are not of a good nature and I do not want this to happen. I cannot keep the money in any local institutions and I seek your most trusted help to park the funds in your country.

Please let me know that I can trust you by giving me the following details I need:

Name
Age
Telephone
Address
Bank Name
Bank Account
Country
Swift Code



Your Friend
David T. Binkoe

Oh yah, I got one from China & 1 from Japan last week too..

Seriousy wonder if people really do respond to such emails...

If they do...all I can say is...."SHEESH!!!!"
