Why me?

Why do I keep getting these????

=========================================================

Dear sir,

I will like to solicit your help in a business proposition, which is by nature
very confidential and a Top Secret. I know that a transaction of this magnitude
will make any one worried and apprehensive but I am assuring you not to worry, as
all will be well at the end of this endeavor.

I am Mr. Steven Okoh, General Manager of African Development Bank Group. My
partners and I have decided to seek your help in transfer of some amount of money
requiring maximum confidence from my bank.

A foreigner, Late Engineer Walters Menard who was an oil merchant and contractor
with the Federal Government of Nigeria until his death onboard the ill fated
Kenyan Airways bus {A310300}was our customer at the AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK and
had a balance of US$32 million which the bank now expects his next of kin to
claim as the beneficiary.

So far, valuable efforts has been made to get to his people but to no avail as he
had no known relatives. More because he left his next of kin column in his
account opening forms blank. Due to this development our management and the board
of directors are making arrangements for the funds to be declared unclaimed and
subsequently paid into the federal government purse. Usually, funds of this
nature end up in the greedy pockets of some politicians due to our corrupt
society.

To avert this negative development my colleagues and I have decided to look for a
reputable person to act as the next of kin to late Engr. Walters Menard so that
the funds could be processed and released into his account, which is where you
come in.

We shall make arrangement with a qualified and reliable attorney that will
represent you in liaising with my bank for inconveniency of you coming to my
country. All legal documents to aid your claim for this fund and to prove your
relationship with the deceased will be provided by us. Your help will be
appreciated with 20% of the total sum (US$6,400,000).

Please accept my apologies, keep my confidence and disregard this email if you do
not appreciate this proposition I have offered you. However, if you do please
include your phone and fax number in your reply for better communication.

I wait anxiously for your response.

Yours faithfully,

Steven Okoh

Tom.

Watched a TV programme on this topic only last week. An investigation team followed one of these "scams" up and exposed them as total fraud. They keep trying though, so
they must think the world is full of rich mugs (-:

If you have left your e mail address on a message board sometime, then it might have been harvested, the worse thing you can do is reply, that tells them that your e mail address is active.

Oh, dear God,

I've seen so much of these things, especially from Nigeria.

My former company did a lot of jobs in Nigeria, we've had al lot of these letters, emails etc.

Do not do that.
