I just got this e-mail... Beware... it is going around. I wanted to bring this to the attention of the community. If you would like information on how it works please go to ... http://www.scambusters.org
Attnirector/CEO,
Dear Sir/Madam
With due respect, trust and humility write
you this proposal, which I
believe will be a great interest to you i
found your contact while I was
doing a private research on the internet for
a reliable and capable foreign
partner that will assist my family and I.this
is the most reason why I
contacted you.
I am PRINCE SIMON WILFRED the son of Dr.JAMES
WILFRED of Zimbabwe. During
the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe
and from the support of our
president ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the
white owned farms in our country,
all the white and black farmers were ordered
to surrender their farms to his
party members and his followers.
My father who was one of the best farmers in
our country and treasurer of
the farmers co-operation did not support his
idea and so the party members
invaded my fathers farms and burnt everything
in the farm, killed my father
and made away with a lot of items in my
fathers farm. After the death of my
father I, my mother and younger sister
decided to move out of Zimbabwe
because our lives was in danger with the
money that my father kept in his
hidden safe in our house. The amount
contained in the safe is US$27M (SEVEN
MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS) TWENTY and we
decided to code the money and
move to the republic of SOUTH AFRICA where we
deposited the money in a
SECURITY COMPANY as a valuable item. So in
terms to invest the money here,
we cannot do so due to the policy and law of
this country so I decided to
make a contact with an overseas firm who will
assist me and my family to
move this money out of South Africa, because
we are asylum seekers here in
South Africa, and cannot continue to suffer
when we have such amount of
money in the security company.
So, if you consider this proposal, my family
and I have agreed to give you
25% of the total sum for helping us to move
this money out to your country
and 5% will be mapped out for expenses both
of us may incurred during this
transaction and 70% will be for me and my
family to invest in your country.
All I want is for you to furnish me with all
your banking details and your
personal phone and fax number for easy
communication. You can contact me on
the above and below telephone number and
E-mail address.
Note: This transaction is 100% risk free and
absolutely confidential Then,
if you are interested to help me and my
family please contact me with this
my Aternative E-mail [[email protected]]
and phone number
+27 83 994 7874.
Thanks and God bless you.
Best Regards,
PRINCE SIMON WILFRED
For the family.

Congrats!!! You have joined the ranks! I have had 3 of these in the past 2 weeks. All from different countries, but in the mode. Dave Barry, the columnist went on a spree with a letter theat his sister received. He carried the on for weeks until the scammer finally pulled the plug.

I guess they shipped all the money out of Nigeria, so now they're starting on Rhodesia (the correct name for Zimbabwe). What's going to happen when all the money in Africa winds up in the U.S.? They're going to have a heck of a time paying for their internet connections if they're broke. Guess they'll have to sell a few more laptops to make ends meet.
