    Have just received this cheery offer of free money from Mr George Nduka. He apologises for not knowing my mindset. No need - I'm sure Mr Nduka is an exemplary bank manager.

    -------------------------------



    Hello

    Pardon me for not having the pleasure of knowing your mindset before making you this offer and it is utterly
    confidential and genuine by virtue of its nature.

    I write to solicit your assistance in a funds transfer deal involving US$3.5M.This fund has been stashed out of the
    excess profit made last 2years by my branch office of the International Commercial Bank of Ghana which I am the manager.

    I have already submitted an approved end-of-the-year report for the year 2007 to my head office here in Accra-Ghana and they will never know of this excess.

    I have since then, placed this amount on a Non-Investment Account without a beneficiary. Upon your response, I will
    configure your name on our database as holder of the Non-Investment Account. I will then guide you on how to
    apply to my head office for the Account Closure/bank-to-bank remittance of the funds to your designated bank
    account.

    If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain 30% of the funds while 70% shall be for me. Kindly forward
    your response to me immediately

    Email:[email protected]
    Phone:0546623354

    With Regards,
    George Nduka

    I hope you peeps are being careful when opening these emails - I'm sure some of the senders have a read receipt on them...thereby alerting them that one of the mass emails they sent it to is genuine. Thus opening the floodgates for more such emails...

    I never see any of these sort of emails. They end up in my junk folder and get deleted without being opened (although they are quite a laugh to read, I'll give you that!).

    Cut the schmultz. Just send me the filthy lucre.

    -----------------------------------------------------

    Dear Friend,




    ABOUT ME

    The way I see it, you have two choices in life; you can be grateful for everything life
    has given you or you can be resentful for everything life has done to you.
    Focusing on what we already have and are grateful for right now is one of the most
    powerful things we can do to alter our life in a positive way.
    We can do this through losing as well as through winning,
    by having and by not having, by succeeding or by failing.
    You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being, not because anybody says so,
    not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money,
    but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason.
    My name is Monna Mullins, an American Citizen residing in Madrid, Spain.
    I lost my entire family members in a plane crash on board the Spanair MD-82 airliner in 2008.
    You can go to this weblink for more details about the crash,

    http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/08/22/plane.crash.madrid/index.html

    I was one of the only survivor and life has never being the same for me again.
    To make matters worse, my Doctor recently told me, the head injuries i sustained from
    the plane crash has seriously damaged the left-hemisphere of my brain and caused a major
    damage to my spinal cord. My Doctor says, i have a few months to live after
    a series of surgeries and tests had been carried out.




    WHY I SENT YOU THIS EMAIL

    I seek your consent to present you as my Trustee/Foreign Investor and partner to my Bank,
    In Madrid, Spain. So that the proceeds of my investment account ($25,000,000.00 USD, Fifty-Five Million US Dollars)
    can be paid to you. I have all the necessary information, guidelines and documents.
    You might probably think this is just another scam or scheme,
    but i assure you that you can only know the truth if you read carefully the content here
    in and act as your heart leads you. Although, i am a stranger to you and for all you know
    i could be just another of those Internet con-artist. However, i will implore you to respond to this e-mail
    with a clear conscience and a free will to get involved in this task. I will appreciate your outmost
    confidentiality and discreetness in this matter until the task is accomplished, as i don't want
    anything that will Jeopardize this transaction. Please contact me immediately for further information and explanation.
    I know i have never met you in person, but my intuition tells me to do this, and I hope you act sincerely.




    My best regards to your family,
    Monna Mullins

    Getting stroppy now. It's this guy's second attempt to put twelve million pounds in my direction and I haven't even had the grace to reply. There's no pleasing some people. But then, when you've already been pledged megamillions, what's another twelve big ones?

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I don't think they quite crasp that Southern Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom. They also don't realise that not everywhere in the world uses US dollars and that in Dublin they use Euro's, whilst we of course use Stirling. They (as normal) do seem very confused in this one received today:


    Bank of Scotland (Ireland)
    Bank of Scotland House,
    124-127 St. Stephen's
    Green, Dublin 2
    United Kingdom


    Dear Customer,

    RE: INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CREDIT YOUR ACCOUNT WITH THE SUM OF US$5,800,000.00

    We at this bank (Bank of Scotland) wish to congratulate and inform you that after thorough review of your Inheritance/Contract funds transfer release documents in conjunction with the Bank of England/World Bank and the International Monetary Fund assessment report, your payment file was forwarded to us for immediate transfer of a part-payment US$5,800,000.00 to your designated bank account from their offshore account with us.

    The Audit reports given to us shows that you have been going through hard times by paying a lot of money to see to the release of your funds, which has been delayed by some dubious officials. We therefore advice that you stop further communication with any correspondence outside this office since you do not have to pay any money or fee to receive your funds as you have met up with the whole funds transfer requirements.

    The only thing required from you is to obtain the Non-Residential Clearance Certificate to enable us credit your account directly by telegraphic transfer or through any of our corresponding banks and send copies of the funds transfer release documents to you and your bankers for confirmation. Should you follow our directives, your funds will be credited and reflect in your bank account within five (5) bank working days from the day you obtain this Non-Residential Clearance Form.

    For further details and assistance on this Remittance Notification, kindly fax or email your FULL CONTACT ADDRESS, TELEPHONE and FAX NUMBERS directly to our official Fax number: +44 844 774 1816 or E-mail: Mr.Terry Johnson.

    Yours sincerely,
    Mrs.Alice Zed
    Head, International Banking Division.
    Bank of Scotland
