A short while ago i posted an email i recived which was similar to this one below.

Just wondering should i respond? lead the guy on and see how far i can take it? :yay:


Quote:
Good day!

I am Mr Dan Maha director auditing and accounting department" bank of Africa (boa) Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso .I discovered the sum of seven million, two hundred thousand dollars (usd7.2) belonging to a deceased customer of this bank the fund has been lying in a suspense account without anybody coming to put claim over the money since the account owner late, Mr Salla khat from Lebanese who was involved in the December 28th 2006 Benin car crash.

it is therefore, upon this discovery that i decided to take this ultimatum and make this business proposal to you as the fund will be release 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 the bank treasury as unclaimed bill the banking rules here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner and a Burkina be cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

Therefore, I am soliciting for your assistance to come forward as the next of kin. I have agreed that 40% of this money will be for you as the beneficiary respect of the provision of your account and service rendered, 60% will be for me. Then immediately the money transferred to your account from this bank, I will proceed to your country for the sharing of the fund. Call me through my telephone: +226 7******2.

Yours faithful,
Mr Dan Maha.

(I want 20% of the share if it actualy worked out well, since I gave you a nice advice)

Oh this could be fun..

First. Try and reason with him. See if you can get 60% and he gets 40% since it is, according to him, your money anyway. Even try to go higher. 70/30. Try 65/35 just to be annoying.

Next, explain to him that you and your family have been grieving for the last 4 years over the death of Mr Salla khat. Explain that because of this grieving process, you have been forced to take out many loans from your bank just to cover basic utilities. Explain that you and your family lost your jobs and desperately need this money.

Then turn it on him and ask about his family. Guilt trip him.

Then of course you ask for nudes of his sister, and in turn you will give him 65% and you will get 35%. Explain that your dire financial standings have caused you to be without a girlfriend for a while. Even ask if you could date his sister for lols.

If everything works, stop talking to him. If not, stop talking to him.

Genius, works every time.

people in belgium actually contacted those people, for a tv-show. they had several meetings with a guy, to buy gold. there were 2 options; 1. fly to africa and get the gold personally 2. give the money to the guy.

in the end they were just joking with the dude...

a small part of it (some parts in english):


can't find the part where they meet the people :P
