Compliments of The Day,

Permit me to introduce myself to you. My name is Dr Benard Mcarthy,A Top
Management Official of one of the finance corporation in Johannesburg south
Africa. I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable
person/company to handle an important assignment on behalf of my Colleagues and
myself.

A German Mr. Wolfgang Schinister, 66 years of age and a prosperous oilGold
merchant had in our Bank the sum of$35.5million in a domiciliary
account.Unfortunately, he was killed in the plane crash involving concord AF4590
in Gonesse, France. Efforts had been made by the management of my bank through
the German Embassy in Johannesburg to contact any of the deceased children but
to
no avail, as we were made to understand he had no children. Given the skeletal
information available to the bank, it has so far been impossible to reach any of
the relatives.

The situation left for the Management is to declare the deceased account dormant
and revert the Amount to trading on behalf of the interest of the Bank. In order
to avoid this development, my Colleagues and I now seek your approval to have
you
stand as a distant relative to Mr. Wolfgang Schinister, so that the money would
be released to you. All documents and proofs to enable you get the money will be
carefully packaged once we receive your consent on this proposal.

I shall apply for a leave as soon as the funds gets into your reliable account
to
come to your country for possible sharing and investment opportunity which you
will assist me in doing. May I assure you that this is safe and risk-free, as we
have taken care of all necessary modalities to ensure a hitch-free movement? I
have the authority of my partners involved in this assignment to propose that
should you be willing to assist us in this, your share would be 25%.I have
reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. Please
Copy your reply to (email) you are interested in my offer/proposal.

Best Regards,
Dr. Benard Mcarthy.
Republic Of South Africa


What do you think? Can the game be afoot again?

Dr.Schinister hmmm…schomething schounds schuspicious there :smiley:

Dear Mr. Mcarthy:

Thank you for your letter of ___. I regret to inform you that I will be unable to participate in your investment scam, as my venture capital is currently tied up in assisting the former Deputy Finance Minister of Nigeria with a similar problem. I will be very happy to place the extensive proceeds I stand to receive from his project with you, though, at a future date.

May I recommend that you investigate the potential of placing some of the funds you manage in Paraguayan agricultural investments? It’s my understanding that their officials, especially those charged with handling extradition, are quite understanding of the needs of a venture capitalist like yourself.

Sincerely

chortle
