Try to give this letter good understanding. ( Didn't I just say that I would. Chill out )
Dear Friend,

    First of all i want you to give this latter good understanding  ( Enough already! )  if you can guarantee me from your own side, your trust, honesty, i will be able to work with you, i will appreciate if you can come down yourself ( Come down where? I'm picky about where I travel )  and see things for yourself before we can proceed and this will make things more clearer for us ( Just like that sentence ) .

I am Mr.Dago Usman ( What an unfortunate name ) , an accountant with one of the bank here in (Ivory Coast) ( The one without a name, the bank that is ) I am writing in respect of a France Citizen ( Mr.Bouchout Geoffroy) been a customer here in our bank,dual citizen of France , who died  in a Plane crash on Monday 2ND September 1998 GMT 14:22 UK ( I would have sworn that plane SwissAir 111 crashed at 14:23 ) while they were flying from New York to Geneva ( In a strange coincidence there was a Geoffroy Bouchout of France on the plane as well. I wonder if they knew each other ).         Refer to the website below for more details.
http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair.victims.list/index.html

I wish to inform you that  late Mr.Bouchout Geoffroy left the sum of Eight million United States Dollars ($8million) here in our bank, ( That was 13 years ago, you still have it? ) I investigated this out during our last auditing as chief accountant, ( Do you take turns being chief? ) that is why i solicit your urgent ( Now you're in a hurry? ) assistance for this so that we should work together and get this fund transfer into your safe account and invest with this money in a tangible business there in your country.

Based on the code of conduct in our work ( Do unto others, then run ) , we are not allowed to own or run a foreign account while still on service, ( If it was me playing with $8 million, I'd quit. Your little bank doesn't even have a name. How much can they be paying you? ) it was as a matter of this fact I decided to contact you ( I'm touched that you tought of me first ) so that you will stand as the fund beneficiary after we may agreed to work together and ask the bank to transfer this fund into your account.

So my good friend ( Let's not rush things ), I want you to come and stand as the beneficiary to claim that money as a patina/beneficiary ( patina: a film or incrustation, usually green, produced by oxidation on the surface of old bronze and often esteemed as being of ornamental value. Hmm, not sure you have the right word there, Dago. And sorry, but I make it a point not to travel to third world African hell holes as a rule. Just a matter of policy )  So that this money will be transferred into your account and we will use this money and invest in your country or we will share the money fifty fifty after transferring it if you did not want both of us to have joint business. ( Yeah, the 50/50 no strings attached option sounds like the better deal, not that you don't sound like a shrewd businessman, but I prefer to work alone )  I have all the formalities to legalize it on your name.  Note that all the modalities of this transfer are RISK FREE ( Please explain how a white man in west Africa can do anything risk free? ) hence i am working with this bank. ( as opposed to some other bank? ) Upon your acceptance to assist me i will forward to you the legal procedures of how to effect the transfer into your account ,looking forward to hearing from you soonest ( It took you thirteen years, don't rush me. I'll take your request under advisement ).

Best regards.

Mr.Dago Usman.

I am Mr. Jack Zolema ( I knew that ) and I wish to present a business proposal to you. Please see the attached document for details.


( Contents of the PDF attachment )

Attention: Sir/Madam,
I am Mr. Jack Zolema ( No, really? I would have never guessed that ) , a director with one of the government parastatals in South Africa.  ( parastatal - a state-owned organization, esp in Africa - the Dept of Redundancy Dept is happy ) I want us to go into a mutually beneficial business that
needs your strict confidentiality and dedication. ( Sounds like I'm getting the legwork part, and I'll bet you're getting the bulk of the beneficial )
This business involves the transfer of a huge amount of money ( Of course it does, why else would you be writing ) from my
Country (South Africa).  It has very little liabilities and it is very safe. ( What else is new? ) The
fund to be transferred is Eighteen million United States Dollars
(US$18,000,000:00). ( Do any countries beside US, UK and EU have their own currency? )  It is generated from an over - invoiced contract ( Double billing? ) and
your job is basically to act as a sub-contractor to my department and get
this money out for us. ( See, I knew I was getting the legwork part ) For helping us ( Who is this us - you and me or you, unknown accomplices and me ) accomplish this you will get 20% of
the funds. ( Sorry even shares, 50/50 unless there are four of you )
Please, if you are interested kindly respond to this e-mail giving me your
full contact details, including your mobile telephone numbers ( I only have a land line, is that all right ? ) for elaborate
discussion ( If it's elaborate, then don't call collect. I won't accept the charges ) on the way forward.
I await your anticipated positive response to my private and confidential
email address; jzolema@aol.com ( Hotmail and AOL, this guy's real big time. Oh and where would I send a negative response - jzolema@hotmail.com )

Subject: From Mr. Frankline Boateng ( Urgent Attention )


My greetings to you and your family, (You do know they were horribly mangled in a MixMaster accident last week )
My name is Mr. Frankline Boateng,  I am a retired banker of Standard Chartered Bank of Ghana Ltd.

I do not want problems ( Then you came to the wrong place ) but I just hope you can assist me, I write you this letter in good faith, I have a transaction of three million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars:($3,250,000.00).

I realized this fund from bank excess profit ( Excess profit? Isn't profit just profit? )  after trading with the capital sum and I deposited the funds in escrow call account ( The accountant equivalent of technobabble ) . Where nobody will have access to it. Even the bank does not have access to this account ( If the bank can't access it won't that slow us down? ) because it cannot be deducted, until after the transfer.

Finally I did not declare this fund to the bank before my retirement ( But left it there, because I couldn't get at it. ) . I am contacting you, to stand as the beneficiary of this fund because only a foreigner can stand as the beneficiary ( You're starting to make me think you're not too bright )  . Can I trust you to hold this money  ( If you can't get at it, how will I? ) for me until I come over to your country? After the transfer, I will give you 30% of the money as your commission ( I'll have the money. I'll give you 40% ) .

If you accept my offer, but if you do not accept this offer kindly forget that I contacted you, ( I think you have a misplaced phrase here )  all I need is for you to get a good current account where this fund can be transferred into ( A preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence or phrase with. ) and for you to stand as the beneficiary of the said amount, within three days the funds will be transferred to your designated bank account.

There are practically no risks involved, it will be a bank-to-bank transfer ( There's always risk when your embezzling. It goes with the territory ) . I hope you understand my situation, I am critically ill ( I thought you sounded a little wheezy ) that is why I contacted you to finalize this transaction to enable me have a very good medical treatment.

Write to me in order to indicate your interest to my proposal and please on time so that we can proceed immediately.

Respectfully,
Mr.Frankline Boateng.

INSPECTION UNIT ( Very Important Organization )

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Hi,

I am Jack Zellman Director Inspection Unit United Nations  Inspection Agent in Heartfield ( You cover two airports? ) International Airport Atlanta Georgia ( His name badge must weigh a ton ) . During our investigation, I discovered An abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from United Kingdom under iship forwarder was transferred from JF Kennedy Airport to our facility here in Atlanta and when scanned ( It was much easier for us to haul them off to an industrial size cat scanner to see what was in them rather than opening them up and having a look ) it revealed an undisclosed sum of money ( might also just  be stacks of note paper ) in a Metal  Trunk Box weighing approximately 110kg each. ( Oh, so that's where my two 250 pound boxes of money got off to. I was wondering why they weren't in the fridge ) The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money  ( You seem surprised that someone smuggling money didn't own up to it ) rather it was declared as  personal effect to avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent also the Diplomat inability to pay for Non Inspection Fees. ( Non Inspection Fee - Is that like a bribe? )
On my assumption, each of the boxes will contain more that $3 to $4M  each ( According to the U.S. Treasury, "In $100 bills, the weight of $1 million is about 22 pounds." [that's 10 kg.]. We'd know how much money was in them if we could just work up the nerve to open them )
and the consignment is still left in storage house till today through a registered shipping Company, Courier Dispatch Service Limited a division of Tran guard LTD ( You're starting to give too much information ) . The Consignment they are two metal box ( Whatsa a matter for you ) with weight of about 110kg each (Internal dimension:  W61 x H156 x D73 (cm). Effective capacity: 680 L.)Approximately, ( 60 by 160 by 75 would be approximately )
The details of the consignment including your name the official document from United Nation office in London are tagged on the Metal Trunk box ( Then send them back to me, what's the problem here? The UN and their time machine. Damn, that's how they got them out of the fridge ).
Provide your Phone Number full address, to cross check if it corresponds with the the address on the official document including the name of nearest Airport ( Look on the damn tag, you should be able to work the airport out on your own ) around and other details. You can send the required details to me for onward delivery.
All communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get everything concluded within 3-6 hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery. But i must get assurance from you concerning my 50% before i will proceed. ( You want half my money - for what? I can spot you a finders fee, but half, that's ridiculous )
I want us to transact this business and share the money,since the shipper have abandoned it and ran away ( They're known to do that. ) .I will pay for the Non inspection fee ( Who do you have to bribe? ) and arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your address, Once we are through i will deploy the services of a secured shipping Company geared to provide the security it needs to your doorstep. or i can bring it by myself  ( That's probably the best thing, an armored car would attract attention. My neighborhood's a little seedy. ) to avoid any more trouble. But i will share it 50% to you and 50% to me. But you have to assure me of my 50% ( We'll talk about that when you get here. ).
Below are my direct telephone numbers and i wait to hear from you.

I have a file before me and the data's are correct ( datum is singular - data are plural - just being picky - If you had 2 Lt.

TRANSFER NEGOTIATION

You may be surprised ( stunned, actually ) to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally ( which seems to make us about even ) , the purpose of my introduction is that, I am Mr. John Bali first son of Mr. Abrahim Bali, who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through South African Information Exchange ( How they got it, I'll never know. ) decided to write you.

Before the death of my father (Why do you need to explain this. If he was doing something, he was probably doing it before he died since death has a tendency to make folks take things a bit slower - except in Transylvania, perhaps ) , he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of (Eighteen Million Six Houndred Thousand United States Dollars) ( Why would he convert good old reliable Gold Krugerrands to US dollars, was he senile? ) , in one of the private security company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe ( but he felt a need to return there in order to be murdered ) . This money was deposited in a box as germ stones ( now we'll have to get them cleaned, Krugerrands would have been so much neater )  to avoid much demurrage from Security Company ( Demurrage refers to the charges that the charterer pays to the shipowner for its extra use of the vessel What does that have to do with germ stones? If you don't mind me asking. ) . This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and established of new farm in Swaziland. ( If he was working with Swaziland, why the hell did he keep going back to Zimbabwe? That's a pretty long drive)

This land problem came when Zimbabwean President MR.ROBERT MUGABE ( HE MUST BE IMPORTANT TOO ) introduce a new Land Act reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few blacks farmers. And this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics ( only some? ) in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for which my father was one of the victim. ( Which he wouldn't have been if he'd minded his own business and stayed in Swaziland. I'm not feeling very sympathetic here. Start looking around for a point.  )


It is against this background that, ( Droning on and on ) I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer my father's money to foreign account since the law of South Africa prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) ( Is that what refugee means? I did not know that. )  to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone South Africa ( probably going to make transferring the money difficult ) . As the eldest son of my father, I am saddle with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. ( Playing along with who? ) I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in South Africa ( What about Swaziland? Did you try there? ) for fear of going through the same experience ( Being murdered in Zimbabwe? That's easy. Stay out of Zimbabwe. ) in future ( as opposed to going through it in the past ) since both countries have similar political history. Moreover, the South African Foreign Exchange Policy does not allow such investments for an asylum seeker ( use refugee - it's shorter ).

As a businessman, who I have to entrust my future since both my future and of my family are in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. ( sounds like it from your description so far ) If you accept to assist my family and me all I want you to do for me is to make arrangements and come to Johannesburg-South Africa ( I'll dash right down or over or both ), so that you can open a non-resident account, which you will aid us in transferring the money into any account which you will nominate overseas. This money I intended to use for investment. ( So, what, are you carrying it around in a bag at the moment? No, you did say they were in a box. My bad. )

I have two options for you; firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the options you want, feel free to notify me. If you do not prefer partnership I am willing to give you 25% ( certain means 25% apparently ) of the money while the remaining 75% will be for my investment in your country.

Contact me with the above e-mail, and Telephone number while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction

Yours Faithfully,
MR. John BALI.

( I bet you're going to tell me your dying and you're just trying to soften the blow )


The reason why i am writting you this letter is because i want you to stand as beneficiary to the sum of my $ 2.5 Million (Two million five hundred thousand united states dollars ( for those innumerate ) i dont have any bilogical child of my own who will inherit this money neither do i have any adopted child ( So, let me get this straight. You have no children. Is that what your telling me? ) My relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness ( I know the feeling, mine drink all my booze ) and i cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them anymore. ( doing OK with the pain from the cancer though ) a i want to donate this money to support churches ( except I can't find any ) and evangelism ( no evangelists ) i also want to help children and orphanges in your country ( The little buggers here can go rot ) Donating this $ 2.5 Million dollars as charity is the only legacy i can leave behind after my death, help me to fulfil this goal before i die and please always remember to pray for me when i die ( See, I knew it ) my soul will rest in peace.


Pls they political crisis here in my country ( There's a lot of turmoil in Japanese India these days, in case you didn't know - Something about Kobe beef and Sacred cows) so i will like to transfer this money befor anything happing ( She must be fading, she's missing the keys ) to the money so if you are will willing to help me receive this money pls ( Oh No. She's lost her vowels )( never mind, they're back ) will like you to contact me today.

THE WILL HAS BEEN EXECUTED

To: undisclosed-recipients:; ( This is so secret, we can't even mention your name. )
Subject: "FUNDS READY FOR TRANSFER"
Date: Sun, 09 Jan 2011
From: Barrister Alan Organ <info@chamber.org> ( http://www.chamber.org/ - Chamber of Commerce collective of some sort? )
Organization: Barrister Alan Organ Associate ( Only one? )Reply-To:
balanorgan@hotmail.com ( Big time British Barrister with his own hotmail account. )
THE WILL HAS BEEN EXECUTED ( Shot, hanged and garroted )

Barristers' Chambers
ALAN ORGAN & ASSOCIATES
Address:33, Bedford Row
London WC1R 4JH, England ( Google this address, the place is lousy with Barristers )
LONDON - UK.


Attention:Beneficiary, ( All these people leaving me money, but they still can't work out my name. )
  On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Eng. ( Eng? ) Gregory
Rims. I once again try ( "There is no try, only do" - Yoda ) to notify you as my earlier letter was returned
undelivered. ( You don't know my name, no reason to expect you to know my address, so where did you send the letter? ) I hereby attempt ( See try above ) to reach you again by this same email
address on the WILL. I wish to notify you that late Gregory Rims made
you a beneficiary in his WILL. He left the sum of Thirty Million Dollars
($30,000.000.00 US Dollars) (Dept. of Redundancy Dept ) to you in the Codicil and last testament to his
WILL.


This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true. ( I'm sure, no really, I believe you )
Being a widely traveled man, he said he met you sometime in past or
simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends abroad who
wished you good, I am not too sure again. Gregory Rims until his death
was a member of the Helicopter Society and the Institute of Electronic & Electrical Engineers and a German property magnate ( So was Hitler, sort of ) . He was a very
dedicated Christian who loved to give out aids to the poor,hungry and
needy. ( That doesn't sound very Christian. They're already pretty bad off. They probably don't need AIDS. ) His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his life
time. Late  Gregory Rims died on the 13th day of December,2008 at the
age of 80 years, and his WILL is now ready for execution after 3 years ( actually closer to two years, but let's not be picky ) and
thorough investigations. ( During which they failed to deduce my name and address )


According to him, this money is to support your humanitarian/medical
activities ( Right, I'm famous for that. ) and to help the poor and the needy in our society. ( Now that they all have AIDS, they're my problem. Thanks a bunch ) Please if I
reach you as I am hopeful, endeavor ( See try and attempt above. ) to get back to me as soon as possible
to enable me conclude my job. I hope to hear from you in no distant time. ( No distant time ? What does that mean? A far time ago, in a galaxy long long away...)
I await your prompt response and please keep this very discrete and to
yourself until the transfer of the funds to you is finalized. ( Mums the woid. )


Yours in Service,


Barrister Alan Organ
