What good luck for me to have been selected out of all the people in the World who are not citizens of Burkina Faso!
I think we can trust Mr Ibru, as he is the Chief Auditor Incharge in a country whose banking reputation is beyond reproach. As I do not need the money (having recently invested in a Nigerian Pyramid Selling Scheme), I am passing on this opportunity to any reader who wishes to take advantage of this 'lucrative transaction for our future survival in life'
If however you would feel guilty at profiteering from the poor people who died in that 'plane crash disaster since few years ago', you may wish to provide the email address of your your Head or perhaps the parents of a pupil that you believe to be particularly deserving, so that they can benefit instead. (Remember that they must not be citizens of Burkina Faso)
Oh by the way, Mr Ibru can be contacted at ibru_kumar@myway.com

All together now, let's have a rousing chorus of "I robbed them my way".
That letter would make an interesting subject for a short lesson at school. Potential topics could range from grammar, spelling, and syntax through textual analysis to Bayesian evaluation of the probability that the writer is telling the truth, and analysing the email header to see how the return path is obfuscated. There's an entire syllabus in there!
Looks like your onto a lucky streak.No doubt you will soon be informed by Readers Digest that among the inhabitants of your town you have the sole opportunity to win another million.Some people get all the luck.
me!!!!!!!!!!me!!!!!!!!!!!!!me!!!!!!!!!.... and I know a lot of yr 11 chavs who'd LOVE to join this lucrative and sincere money spinner since school time's running out and there's not really a lot in store for the future, so that might solve their problems nicely! Saves them turning up at the job centre every other week, I mean, realy, they'll have to get up early and what's the point of that? They, having gained a GNVQ in "Business Studies", will certainly , with their newly developed business accumen, recognize the benefits of this lucrative opportunity at once and latch on to it....
oh, this is great stuff. Have you looked at the 419eaters site? there is a sidebar on the policeman's blog it is good fun.
Or read The Scambaiter Letters? very funny as the author scams the scammers.
I'm afraid I sent mine back to be corrected. There are standards you know. If somebody is going to try to scam me the least I expect is the letter to be in correct english. For some reason, the Zimbabweian "Chief" has yet to reply. Do you think he was in the same plane crash?
