    a good news for you as per regards to the current development of my deceased
    client who bears the name of Mr. Thomas a native of your country who was
    my trusted, wealthy client whom died in the October 23rd bellview airline
    crash here in my country.

    with great vision as I am the private and most trusted attorney to late
    Mr. Thomas .

    However my client was a very wealthy business tycoon formerly working with
    the Nigeria airways for over 20 years till this date before his sudden death
    in the October 23rd Bellview airline crash here in my country, view of this
    please kindly view the BBC web page below to know the reality of this urgent
    matter that I have contacted you for. On Saturday 23rd of October 2005,
    my client, his wife {Lady Anna and their three children {Elizabeth, Thomas
    and James} were involved in terrible bomb blast that took live of innocent
    souls and unfortunately over 117, people lost their lives and my client
    and his family were part of this people that lost their lives. In view of
    this please view the web page below www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/africa/10/23/nigeria.plane/

    Frankly and authoritatively speaking I am very happy to let you understand
    that my client left over Fifteen point Five million dollars {USD15. 5 M}
    United States of America dollars here in the Accessbank of Nigeria Plc which
    is the main point to drive home that made me to contact you as I believe
    that we both can act like two matured adult in coming to the actualization
    of this transaction for the betterment of us and our family.

    I have made all attempts to locate any of my client?s relative but all attempts
    have proved unsuccessful that?s why I am counting you and I need you to
    give me a good courage and faith that we can work as two partners in progress
    in coming to the realization of this transaction for the betterment of us
    and our family.

    Finally, all I need from you is your honest cooperation as this transaction
    is not related to Imagination or Internet Scam but pure and for real. I
    crave your indulgence to present you as the surviving next of kin to the
    deceased so that we can reap from the fruit of this old man labor before
    some group of bad and corrupt leaders in my country get rid of this money
    and share it for their own selfish interest instead of the both of us sharing
    it for the betterment of us and our family.

    I am awaiting your expedient response with some good news!!!!!
    That you are ready to work hand to hand with me.

    their normal Businesses due to fear of being victim of
    terrorist attack, above all. The crisis in Iraq now
    has made business activities totally paralyzed for
    quite sometime now. for instance, no good telephone
    facilities, no Adequate security, infact all most all
    the basic infrastructure were
    Destroyed during the
    recent war in Iraq, ever since then the Environment in
    Iraq has never been conducive business w ise .

  9. The ones where they want to inherit two bazillion dollars are great to read and have a laugh. The other one where you weren't sure of what it was is basically seeing my profile on some website (likely xpmediacenter or FaceBook) and getting my email address to get in touch. Funny.

    just specced up a new Mac Pro for £17,344.99. Nice.


    Nice system you'd hope but the price isn't nice - and apparently if I spec that out it will be $38,408.44.

    Better news from Apple. Brand new iPod Classic en route to me now. Oh yea


    And that's what should have been given in the first place. Not pissing you round.
