    Ya, Um I'll get right on this...
    Just got this email. lol Just wanted to share


    FROM. VICTOR UGWU, (ACCOUNTANT)
    ACCOUNT OFFICIAL OF ECOBANK NIGERIA PLC
    Email:victorugwu56@yahoo.co.uk


    Dear Friend,

    My name is Mr. Victor Ugwu, I work in the credit and accounts
    department
    of Ecobank Nigeria Plc, Lagos-Nigeria. I write you in respect of a
    foreign
    customer with our bank, before his sudden death. His name is Mr. Paul
    Morgan, an expatraite and a consultant with an American Oil
    company,PENNZOIL (Now deceased) He died in the Tsunami disaster on 26th
    December 2004 while on vacation in Thailand.

    Since the demise of this our customer, Mr Paul Morgan, who was an oil
    Merchant/contractor, I have kept a close watch of the deposit records
    and
    accounts and since then no body has come to claim the money in this a/c
    as
    next of kin to the late Engineer.

    He had Deposit valued $10.8mllion Dollars in his Account and the
    Account
    is coded. It is only an insider that could produce the code or password
    of
    the Deposit particulars.As it stands now, there is nobody in that
    position
    to produce the needed information other than my very self considering
    my
    position in the bank as his account officer.

    Based on the reason that nobody has come forward to claim the deposit
    as
    next of kin, I hereby ask for your cooperation in using your name as
    the
    next of kin to the deceased to send these funds out to a (foreign
    offshore
    bank Account) for mutual sharing between my self and you. At this point
    I
    am the only one with the information because I have removed the deposit
    file from the safe.

    I will need your full name and address,telephone and fax number for the
    processing of the transfer in your name and favour. Finally i want you
    to
    understand that the request for a foreigner as the next of kin is
    occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and for that
    reason alone a Nigerian cannot represent as next of kin. When you
    contact
    me, then we shall discuss the ratio of disbursement between us.

    I remain Respectfully yours,

    MR. VICTOR UGWU ESQ (ACCOUNTANT)
    ACCOUNT OFFICIAL OF ECOBANK NIGERIA PLC
    Email:victorugwu56@yahoo.co.uk

    NB You don't have to be a blood relative of The Late Depositor to claim
    this inheritance. Pls reply via my direct email account
    {victorugwu56@yahoo.co.uk} so that I can elucidate on how to proceed
    next.

    we all get many of these weekly... so why post it here? it's bad enough that we all have to keep sending it to our 'junk mail' file.

    Ok...That was kind of rude.
    This is the first one I got and I found it rather humorous

    it's the first one you've gotten? wow now that IS amazing. i've been getting these emails for as long as i've been on the internet. i remember when i set my mom up with a computer... she called me the next day and told me she got an email to help someone get money... i told her to junk it. since then, she's received hundreds of these. it's probably right up there with penis enlargement junk mail for quantity (and quality) LOL

    with how long you've been on the net, i would think you've seen these (or some version of them) many times by now :P

    My college roomate's boss had been contacted by people claiming to be from africa (might have been nigerian) about making a movie about his mirical horses, but he had to send like 3 grand to initiate the contract but then they asked for like another 5 grand then they dissapeared. My roomy told him it was a scam and the boss didn't believe him, so he lost a good amount of money. I have never recieved one of these emails myself, though i have heard of them, it was comical to read through it, good post jake!

    Anyone get the ones form the "artists" in countryX who cannot sell their paintings due to commission laws - and so they need your help to funnel their funds?

    I've gotten so many from supposed African nobility that I am beginning to think I might be a royal Zulu.


    The nonsense spam/verbiage generator ones are the most entertaining though.

    Only if you read them with a Borat voice.

    VERR NICE! HIGH FIVE!
