"Salam Aleikum
I am pleased to introduce a business opportunity to transfer to your overseas account the sum of (10.5M USD)Ten million five hundred thousand United States Dollars from one of the Prime Banks here in Dakar Senegal.
I am Mr Desmond Koffi (Bsc,Msc) the Auditor General of one of the prime banks here in Dakar Senegal , during the course of our auditing , I discovered a floating funds in an account opened in our bank since 1982 and till date no body has operated on the account and after going through old files in the records, I discovered that the owner of the account died long ago in a plane crash along with his family without leaving a[Heir/WILL], hence the floating of the funds and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner of the account was a foreigner , Engr.Sam .A. Taha, an estate consultant .
Therefore, with a personal conviction of trust and confidence, I wish to contact you as a foreigner, to stand as a relative, thus I can work out the release of the funds , No other person in the office knows about the account, please be assured of the risk free, I'm the one that will work it out , all I need is your cooperation.
At the conclusion of this project , I propose a joint investment of an equal partnership to you or we may share it in a ratio of 45% for you and 55% for me. One more thing please; I beg you don't consider this against moral justification , they are many other aspects of life we may contribute with this funds to help the less privileged and the needy in a society than having it shared as an unclaimed bill among Government PLEASE .
I look forward to your earliest response.
Yours Truly
Mr Desmond Koffi"

#Sumeet - Bro, I am reminded of the lottery, that you won, which asked the winner to dial a premium number @ 6.5 pounds per minute. :D
#Ankit - Tnx for the link. And its a sad to know that people have become victims to these scams.
#Rai - Tnx for the Golden Rule. This rule is amazing. It actually works wonders in so many situations.
#Deepa - Hello ji ;) If you have been following my blog for quite some, then you are already a regular :P
Anyways I extend you a formal welcome :)
It's weird to imagine Delhi being the hub to such hoax mails.
And I really feel sorry for the 'Poor Fools!'. The hunger for money makes people take foolish decisions which they regret for the rest of their life.
OMG! I havent received any such spams till date thankfully! No other ways than to ignore.
People should read this.
