So...what next of kin proposal have you received lately?

Basically, I posted it in the conversation forum to keep it on subject. Post your emails that are done by pathetic scammers in other countries. Plus discuss these and whatnot.

Dear friend, I can't imagine how you will feel receiving a sudden business proposal from a remote country in far away Burkina Faso west Africa and probably from some one you have not closely related with. But all the same, I believe we do not need to be of blood relatives before we can establish cordial/business relationship. Having said this, I think it is very important at this juncture to introduce myself to you. I am Mr. Frank Usman.the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of International bank of Africa (BOA) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso West Africa. It is my pleasure to solicit your assistance in this business proposal. I am contacting you because; I do not want to transact the business with anybody day who is known to any staff of this bank or anybody around here to avoid any possible blackmail or leakage at the end of the transaction. The proposal: During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on 31st July 2000, in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development. The said amount was $25.700.000 usd (Twenty-five Million seven hundred United States Dollars) as it may interest you to know. meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity. In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant (a banker); we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account. I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as gr atification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 50% will be for me and my partner. Please, you have been advised to keep "top secret and confidential" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I look forward to receive your immediate response and also feel free to call me immediately via my mobile number +226-78900178 for more clarifications or you can contact me via my private details stated below.

Those are just a few, I have at least 10 more, but I'm too lazy to search though my mail.

Am I the only one who never receives these types of emails?

I only ever get the kind telling me I have a small penis (and my shortcoming is apparently a topic of conversation amongst women I don't know), but fortunately, help is available in the form of some "all natural" supplement which promises "b1g result."

That's crazy that you've never received a message like that. Not that it is a good thing, but I have a bunch, and it only took a year or so to collect them.

I just received a message about fraudulent 'I'm going to make you rich' emails in Africa from my college. They told me to forward that shit to the FBI, no joke.

Oh man I remember when I used to get those things all the time. Funnier than half the stuff people intend to be entertaining.

Well, I have some new ones!

My Dear Good Day, PLEASE URGENT ATTN.Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics.I am Mr SULEMAN MUHAMMED The manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of my Bank. In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of US$8.5M, (Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) with account number 14-2558-5976 that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his wife and only daughter in a plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight number 261 which crashed on January 31, 2000. You shall read more about the crash on visiting this site: http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ The owner of this account is Mr. Morris Thompson an American and great industrialist and a resident of Alaska. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and for our bank to release the money to you. You have to follow the instruction which I will be send to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into our bank treasury as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after nine 9 years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The money has now stayed more than seven to eight years and I am preparing documentaion to prove that this money has been transfered to our bank treasury. It will be between me and you only that will know that the money is not transfered into our treasure. This request of foreigner as next of kin in this transaction is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and as an insider i cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. In appreciation of your assistance, I am offering you 30% of the total sum. 5% for contingencies (cost of transfer/other charges) likely to be incurred during the course of transaction, while the remaining 65% is for me.Upon receipt of your reply. I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application which you will complete and forward to our bank asking for this money to be paid to you as the next of kin to Mr;Morris Thomson. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail, And please give me this information bellow, 1. NAME IN FULL:................................ 2.
