They appear to be learning from the Nigerians
From: MRS. AGNES TAYLOR-LEWIS Greetings to you, With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and the immense benefit it will be to you. After careful consideration with my children, we resolved to contact you for your most needed assistance in this manner. I duly apologize for infringing on your privacy, if this contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this proposal to you as a person of integrity. First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Mrs. AGNES TAYLOR-LEWIS mother of five and the Minister of Health and Sanitation of The Republic of Sierra Leone for a year and a half running you can view my profile on my countries web site; http://www.statehouse-sl.org/at-lewis.html I will now give you a general overview of the situation. From 1989 to 1991,I Agnes worked as Financial Comptroller cum Secretary to the Board of Directors of the National Industrial Development and Finance Organisation Limited (NIDFO) a joint project of UNDP, UNIDO and the Government of Sierra Lone,My managerial functions included the control of all financial matters, the mobilisation of resources for the company and serving in the project appraisal committee that reviews and approves loans to small-scale entrepreneurs in 1996, with my influence, my husband Mr. thomas Taylor lewis a very successful businessman was awarded several contracts in my country and had direct dealings with foreign investors in this field. Due to my political status,and position I was not involved in my husband's business but was the financier of the projects through funds from the bank the business was very successful. My beloved husband died whilst on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in Febr uary 2001 had a plane crash and died. about some months after my husband died, I was contacted as next of kin by a private security firm in Europe to come forth with the Certificate of Deposit and claim a safety deposit my husband has in their Vault in his name. At that time, my children and I did not have an idea where the Certificate might be. We then instructed the security firm to continue holding the safety deposit until further instructions from me. Whilst preparing for the second remembrance of my beloved husband, I was going through his library collection and to my astonishment I discovered a Certificate of Deposit for the safety deposit with this private security firm, and other documents relating to the safety deposit in a book. The safety deposit which is a trunk, is stocked with hard currency (US Dollars) totalling $18,500,000 which was generated from cash payments from his business associates in the diamond trade from Antwerp, Belgium. Though I knew my late husba nd was in the diamond business, I did not have the knowledge that he moved funds in cash. This has came as a shock to me and my children, and we have decided to have this fund invested immediately in commercial and residential properties abroad as well as profitable ventures, as any member of my family cannot hold such a huge amount in our name due to my political status, hence we sincerely propose to you to render us your most needed assistance in this regard.cause we dont want the government to probe us. If you agree to render us your assistance, your role in this project will be to act on my behalf as a trustee to receive the safety deposit containing the funds from the Security firm. Though I believe this transaction should be based on mutuality, my family's interest will be protected by a family associate, who is a lawyer(attorney) attached to the sierra leone Embassy in the country where the security firm is located. He is now aware of the safety deposit, and I have inf ormed him that I am locating one of my husband's business associates (you) to handle the funds and invest on our behalf, as he might be opposed to our decision if he found out that I barely know you. For your reliable assistance, we are offering you 15 %($2,775,000) of the funds. I thank you in advance as we anticipate your assistance in enabling us achieve this goal. On hearing from you, I will forward your contact to the gentleman lawyer who will be representing us, As you may understand, due to my sensitive position in the present government, it is not safe to communicate with me via phone or fax. This is why I have communicated with you with my private email address, and I like us to keep this way, for the safety of this transaction. Please contact me on my private email address; agnes_tl@graffiti.net whether or not you are interested in assisting us. This will enable us make alternative plans, in the event of non-interest on your part. With warm regards, MRS. AGNES TAYLOR-LEWIS |

This is one of the better ones, though still full of the indicative grammatical creativity:
"My beloved husband died whilst on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in February 2001 had a plane crash and died." "...hence we sincerely propose to you to render us your most needed assistance in this regard.cause we dont want the government to probe us." "...transaction should be based on mutuality" After all, who couldn't trust someone named Agnes [ 07-02-2004, 01:15 PM: Message edited by: aleph_null ] |

Yeah, you have to wonder how many people inherit millions of dollars, and need you to "hold" it for them. 8-)

Damn Nigerian scammer strikes again. Instead of liberating Iraq, Bush should have turned his attention to Nigeria. They could benefit greatly from a couple of Napalms and such.
