From:Mr.Mothusi Paki.
7th Floor, Kamkholo Bld,
Cnr. Brown and Voortrekker Str,
Nelspruit 1200 Johannesburg,
South Africa.

{MONEY TRANSACTION}
{THIRTY SIX MILLION USD}
(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 36,000,000.USD
{BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY/YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED}

My name is Mr.Mothusi Paki. and I work in the
International operation department in a Local Bank
here in South Africa On a routine inspection ,I
discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a BAL Of
36,000,000 (Thirty Six Million USD) on furtherdiscreet
investigation I also discovered that the account
holder has long since passed away (dead)leaving no
beneficiary to the accountThe bank will approve this
money to any foreigner because the former operator of
the a/c is a foreigner and from Iraq in particular and
I am certainly sure that he is dead and nobody
willcome again for the
claim of this money A foreigner can only claim this
money with legal claims to the account Holder
therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction.


I will provide the necessary information needed in
order to claim this money, But you will need to open
an account where this can be transferred.If you are
interested send me your private Telephone No And Fax
number including the full details of the account to be
used for the Deposit. I wish for utmost
confidentiality in handling this transaction as my job
and the future of my family would be jeopardized if it
were breached The information will be as
follows-------------------

Bank Name\Address----------
A/C Name.............
A/C Number.\Even an empty a\c is still ok!----
Swift Code No..............

And i am assuring you that the transaction is risk
free hence we are going to follow the normal transfer
process .Finally a 25% of the total fund will be given
to you for your steadfast corporation.
I look forward to a favorable response from you as
soon as possible.Thank's for your maximum
co-operation and remain blessed.

Best Regards,
Mr.Mothusi Paki.

The sad thing is someone or many will fall for this scheme.

My mom, 81 now, has received letters in the mail, similar to this or sweepstake entries. Asking me if it's worth the time to fill out. I tell her to recycle them ASAP, don't even open the darn envelope!

If anyone is getting my money, it's either going to a family charity (lost a nephew a few years ago, age 16, there's a memorial in his name) and/or St. Jude's. St. Jude's does such wonderful work.

That's it!

I emailed a couple of them back (knowing they were fake) and told them I didn't need the money and that I'd prefer they donate it to disaster victims. Not like it's gonna happen, but maybe it made them think a bit.

lol - I like the way they call themselves Max N. Paddy when replying as it is taken directly from the tv programme Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere.
