lummox Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 i got the following email sent to me. gee. should i help the dude? Mr. John Uzaka Harare - Zimbabwe Email: johnuzaka@netscape.net Date: 05/06/03 Dear friend, This very confidential request should come as a surprise to you but because of the nature of what is happening to me and my family urged me to contact you,and I quite understand that this is not the best way to contact you because of the nature of my request and the attention it requires. I got your contact information from your country's information directory during my desperate search for someone who can assist me secretly and confidentially in relocating and managing some family fortunes. My name is Mr. John Uzaka, the second son of Mr. Frank Uzaka in Zimbabwe. At the height of the present political crises in our country, in which the white farmers in our country are being murdered and ripped off their belongings by the supporters of our President, Mr. Robert G. Mugabe, in their efforts to reclaim all the white owned farms in our country, my father and my elder brother were brutally slanted to a painful death on the 13th of February, 2002, in their struggle to protect some white farmers who ran to take refuge in our house. My father, during his life on earth was a prominent business man who trades on diamond and gold from some foreign countries. He publicly opposes the crude policies and crime against humanity on the white farmers by Mr. Robert Mugabe and his followers, which they enforced media law restrictions to protect their wicked acts. That not being enough, the President and his followers after winning the last undemocratic elections decided to block and confiscate all accounts and assert. During my fathers life on earth, he had deposited the sum of FIFTEEN. FIVE MILLION United States Dollars [$15.5 MILLON U.S DOLLARS], in a trunk box with a Trust and Security Company in Madrid- Spain for a cash and carry Diamond and Gold business with some foreign business customers. Due to the escalation of this problem, we decided to move this fund to the security company's overseas office in Spain. In view of this and as the only surviving son of my father, and with the present clamp down, killing and confiscation of his assets as one of those who render support to the white farmers in our country, I therefore humbly wish to inform you of my intentions to you to the security company's office in Europe where this money is currently deposited to avoid it being confiscated by president Mugabe. And also seek for your honest and trustworthy assistance to help me clear and accommodate this money over there because we are unable to move out of Africa due to the restriction of this Government. Also, I will try and move down to meet you after which you have claim this fund into your custody. Now this is what I actually want you to do for me; 1. I want you to be presented to the Trust and Security company as the person I contacted to assist my family for this purpose, with whose name and address myself will forward to them their office in Madrid- Spain as the person that will clear this money that is being deposited in Europe. 2. To finally assist me in accommodating and managing this money in any lucrative business in your country for at least ten years. Please, I hope you will grant and view this very request with favour and much understanding of our situation now, and will be a very honest and reliable person to deal with. And also bearing in mind the confidential nature of this my request. I emphasize please that you keep every bit of it to yourself so as to protect my family future and the safety of this fund. 3. For your noble assistance of safeguarding the fund under your custody, I will offer you 20% of the total fund and 10% of every annual turnover from any business which you intend to invest the other 80% into for a consecutive period of ten years. Thanking you in anticipation of your urgent response as soon as you read this request. Best Regards, Mr. Jonh Uzaka Quote

Amazing good luck, if you ask me. I looked into some background info on an African website, and this looks legit. It's the real deal. Go for it!! Quote

Don't listen to this Ass_Wipe, I bet he doesn't know jack shit about the current financial crisis in Africa. If I were you, in order to get this thing going ASAP, I'd email him your bank account number, and your bank number, too. That way, he can wire the money right into your account. Quote

Dwayner Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 This thing has been going on for years. They were FAXing that crap to people before E-mail became popular. I literally get as many as 8 to 10 of those a day, mostly from Nigeria but from other African countries as well. And somehow, I've also made it on a Pakistani mailing list for buying cheap cameras and other merchandising offers. 90% of my E-mail now is now nonsense! Quote
