Haha......clever

Too bad you'll probably never hear from them again....or you may get an explanation as to why that cannot be done, and that it's required for you to send a check or cash....

It's sad that people do *actually* send it though

haha its def a nigerian 419 scam. I actually know someone that fell for a variation of it, although to his credit it was a more clever variation. I once received one and played along, then when they asked for the money so that I could obtain my millions from customs, I told them they had to send me money so I could unfreeze one of my bank accounts, and then I would be able to give them the money they need to get the transaction completed, never heard from them again haha.

Hello,

Please do not take offense to this but I know that your letter is a scam. I see a lot of these types of letters. Honestly, that is OK with me. I need the help of someone like you. Maybe you and I can work together on a project that I guarantee will make you more money than 20 years of scam letters.

I work as a maintenace person for a group that does geological surveys in Namibia. Being the maintenance person, I have the keys to every building and every room here. A few weeks ago, I was working in one the buildings and found that money is stored there. I did not take the time to count it, but I could clearly see that there was several hundred thousand dollars.

I can easily get my hands on this money but I cannot leave with it. It would be obvious who took it if I disappeared at the same time the money did. What I need is a partner, someone who can physically pick up this money, get it far away from here, and hold onto to it for about a month or two until I can meet with them and divide it up.

I have written to a couple other people like you about this. All they do is ask me to send them money. They act like common beggars. I do not need a beggar. I need a partner.

You interested?
