Just had this email...

[Roo]

Should I reply??!!!!
Dear,

I am contacting you with reason that we are going to
be of a great use to each other

My name is Prince George Sanoussi, I am the first son
of Late Zainoul Abidine Sanoussi. Untill his death, my
father was the former foreign Affairs Minister of my
country (Guinea-Conakry).

Before I go into further details please be informed
that I am writing without any other person`s
pre-knowledge of my contacting you, Therefore I will
appreciate same attitude to be maintained all through

Days before the death of my father he revealed to me
about a deposit of a trunk box which he deposted with
my name in a private security company in Accra, Ghana
for security reasons, although he registered the
contents as precious stones but the real content of
these trunk box is fhe sum of USD18M (Eighteen Million
United States of American Dollars) which was his share
from a secret sale of Diamond when he was in the
office, he could not deposit this funds in a financial
institution for fears of the funds being confiscated.


After the burial of my father, I made frantic effort
on the best way to handle this money. I sought advice
from an attorney who advised that I must seek for a
trustworthy foreign business partner.

However, I sincerely ask for your assistance to get
this Funds out of this country, and your share for
assisting us will be 15% of the total sum, 5% will be
use for upsetting all the expenses incurred in the
course of concluding this venture and the
remaining 80% that will be for me and my family

The consignment will be released within seven 7 days
of my being in receipt of your reply
and I want to assure you that
this transaction is 100% risk free

In case you have any question do not hesitate to
contact me as I wait for your swift and favourable
response to my email

Best Regards

Prince George Sanoussi

Roo, Woulld you like Eighteen Million
United States of American Dollars? That's USD18M which was left in a trunk by Prince George's old dad!

Are you a trustworthy foreign business partner?

If yes then your welcome to some free cash! After all you are a guy on the internet who the prince does not know!

What a load of old shit!!

[welsh-dragon]

Roo,
It's a wind-up; see them regularly.
Best thing to do is forget you ever saw it.

[Big Brother]

every person on the internet must have seen these emails by now. They just don't give up

[coyote1980]

They're most often from Nigerian-origin. Eventually they will ask you to make a (small) deposit on their account 'just to see they can trust you'... After that you will never hear from them.

People doing this deserve to be just for polluting my mailbox!!

[radionapper]

Email back saying you're in but you want a 90% cut! I did it and they said "yeah sure". So I replied and said "must be a scam then".

[martinholmesuk]

of course Roo know's it's all bull!

[JohnTurbo]

My father used to deal with nigeria a lot 10-15 years ago, and so back then a lot of these people got hold of his fax number. Used to get a lot of these things and collected them...has a great big folder of them somehwere.

[radionapper]

I fish these things out of our spam system all the time at work. Sometimes you find them with an attachment of a palace and a picture of the guy! As if that makes it any more believable.

Hello, my name is Michael Evans. I am suffering from rare and deadly diseases, poor scores on final exams, fear of being kidnapped and executed by anal electrocution, and guilt for not forwarding out 50 billion fucking chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe that if you send them on, then that poor 6 year old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her off to the travelling freak show. Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you and everyone you send "his" email to, $1000? How stupid are you? Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by every Playboy model in the magazine! What a bunch of bullshit. So basically, this message is a big FUCK YOU to all the people out there who have nothing better to do than to send me stupid chain mail forwards.
>
> Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my apartment and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing the chain which was started by Jesus in 5 A.D. and was brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower and if it makes it to the year 2000, it'll be in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest continuous streak of blatant stupidity. Fuck them.
>
> If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 50 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times. I don't fucking care. Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out forwards. Chances are it's your own unpopularity.

First of all, if you don't send this to 5096 people in the next 5 seconds, you will be raped by a mad goat and thrown off a high building into a pile of pig manure. It's true! Because, THIS letter isn't like all of those fake ones, THIS one is TRUE!! Really!!! Here's how it goes:
>
> *Send this to 1 person: One person will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.
>
> *Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.
>
> *Send this to 5-10 people: 5-10 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter, and may form a plot on your life.
>
> *Send this to 10-20 people: 10-20 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter and will napalm your house.
>
> Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!!

> -------------------------------------------------------

> Chain Letter Type 2
>
> Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no goats. This little boy's life could be saved, because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be> donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund. Oh, and remember, we have absolutely no way of counting the emails sent and this is all a complete load of bullshit. So go on, reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47 seconds. Oh, and a reminder - if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly.
>
> Thanks again!!
>
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Chain Letter Type 3
>
> Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible because there was no email then and probably not as many sad pricks with nothing better to do. So this is how it works: Pass this on to 15,067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like:
>
> *Bizarre Horror Story #1
>
> Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently received this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of poopie, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not only did she smell nasty, she died. This Could Happen To You!!!
>
> *Bizarre Horror Story #2
>
> Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his boyfriend (hey, some people swing that way). They both died and went to hell and were cursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity. This Could Happen To You Too!!!
>
> Remember, you could end up just like Pinsley and Bip. Just send this letter to all of your loser friends, and everything will be okay.
>
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Chain Letter Type 4:
>
> As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to every one of your friends.
>
> ~*Friends*~
>
> A friend is someone who is always at your side,
> A friend is someone who likes you even though you stink of shit, and your breath smells like you've been eating catfood,
> A friend is someone who likes you even though you're as ugly as a hat full of assholes,
> A friend is someone who cleans up for you after you've soiled yourself,
> A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your sad, sad life,
> A friend is someone who pretends they like you when they really think you should be raped by mad goats, then thrown to vicious dogs,
> A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet, vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English... -no, sorry that's the cleaning lady,
> A friend is not someone who sends you chain letters because he wants his wish of being rich to come true.
>
> Now pass this on! If you don't, you'll never have sex ever again.
>
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> The point being?
>
> If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on.
>
> Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth, who's been tied to a dead elephant for 27 years, whose only saviour is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this mail, otherwise you'll end up like Miranda. Right?
>
> Now forward this to everyone you know otherwise you'll find your balls missing tomorrow morning.
