Dear Sir

RE: BUSINESS PROPOSAL - STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

I am DR SANNI AHMED., Chairman to the Contract Review Panel that was recently inaugurated by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to review the activities of past military government with particular reference to contracts awarded by all ministries between 1990 and 1999. In the course of carrying out our assigned duties, we discovered the sum of USD40.5 (forty million, five hundred thousand dollars) only lying idle in a suspense account with our apex bank…

Anyay, it turns out that a quarter of the money is as good as mine, can you believe my luck? - this is the fourth such fantastic deal I’ve been exclusively offered this week!

[zev_steinhardt]

I’ve already received five such deals this month. Come and visit me at my villa when you collect your dough.

Not to burst your bubble, but I think that it might be a scam.

Also, what’s a suspense account?

WHOOOSH!

Yes, he knows. This is the famous Nigerian scam. That’s why he posted this in the Pit.

So, how’s that product that says it’ll “make your dick so big it’ll blot out the sun” working?

It’s where they keep the whoosh.

Cover your ears and get ready to be knocked down - there is going to be a very powerful WHOOSH.

[carrot]

Nonsense - don’t be so suspicious

It’s an account that

[Khan]

Hey, I got one of those myself! :eek:

See you in the fortune 500, baby!

Speaking of drafts…

[zev_steinhardt]

You know, considering how often I get those letters, Nigeria must be the richest country in the world, with all those millions just sitting around in the bank doing nothing.

Turned out to be a cheap plastic magnifying glass… Not really worth the £600 I paid out, but at least there was a satisfaction guarantee; I can just write off to the PO box and get all my money back.

carrot lies.

Why, I sent my banking information off to one of these deals just today. In anticipation of my newfound wealth, I’ve already submitted my two weeks notice. Here’s the text of my resignation letter:

Dear (Boss’s name,)

I happily inform you that I’m quitting this lousy company to spend my days in the lap of luxury supported by can’t-miss Nigerian business deals. Yoiu can take this stupid job and jam it right up your skinny ass. I’ll never darken the doorstep of this hellhole again.

Sincerely,

(My name)

I’m going to need all the spare time I can get to count my money! Woo hoo! See you at zev’s villa! I’ll bring the caviar and the supermodels.

[carrot]

Whoa. Like 3 people telling me I’ve been whooshed before I could respond. It was supposed to be to zev_steinhardt, by the way.

You may all have your whooshes back…with interest.

[Trinopus]

Hey, me too! Gosh, Nigeria must be one of the richest countries on earth!

Cincopost!

Be forewarned, I don’t think y’all would like Tuscany.

[3trew]

Sure, carrot says you can have your whooshes back with interest, but I think it might be a scam. Don’t give him any banking information until you’ve checked this “returned whoosh” proposal out with a reputable financial professional!
