WTF is up with these email schemes, anyone recieved this one yet?
I just got this one today.
Dear friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have
not
yet met. The message could be strange but real if you pay some
attention
to it. I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your
integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies. In bringing this message
of goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing
you
any pains.
I am Mr.Aminu Waziri, Branch Manager, Continetial Trust Bank Cotonou,
Benin
rep. I managed to get your contact details through the Internet myself.
Time is of the importance and I am desperately looking for a person to
assist
me in this confidential business. A British oil consultant/contractor
with
the Benin Rep. Ministry Of Petroleum, Mr. Claude Brian Best made a
numbered
time (Fixed) Deposit on June 6, 2000, valued at US$8,000,000.00 (Eight
Million
Dollars), for twelve (12) calender months in my branch. Upon maturity,
I
sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract
employers that Mr. Claude Brian Best died from an automobile accident.
On
further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL,
and
all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Claude
Brain
Best did not declare any kin or relations in all his official
documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$8,000,000.00
is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with
the
principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to
claim it. According to Benin Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years,
the
money will revert to the ownership of the Benin Government if nobody
applies
to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand
in as the next of kin to Mr. Claude Brian Best so that the fruits of
this
old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names
and
address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and
affidavits
that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the
service
of a lawyer for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the
necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor
for
the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will
provide
will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the
beneficiary/next
of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the
ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will
be
done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees
the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please
reply immediately via the private email address below;
aminu_waziri@mail.ru
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and
relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction
would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your
assistance
to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address. aminu_waziri@mail.ru
Thanks and regards.
Mr. Aminu Waziri
what bullshit.

Damn, they use to send fake money orders and cashier's checks and steal your money from the bank, now they will take money out directly from your bank account.
Whoever falls for this is stupid.....................

I havn't gotten one since I have been on Gmail, their spam filter seems to be pretty good. It even catches online cataloges that I have subscribed to. 
I get this ---- in other unprotected mailboxes though.
