This just came in my inbox. I'm about to collect $8,717,500!
WooooHoooo!

THE DIRECTOR
AUDIT AND ACCOUNTS UNIT,
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK,
COTONOU, REPUBLIC OF BENIN
WEST AFRICA.
Dear ,
STRICTLY PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL

With due honour and respect ,i am DR REYNOLD ISAAC,the director in
charge of audit and account unit,foreign remittance dept.of the AFRICAN
DEVELOPMENT BANK
(ADB),COTONOU, REPUBLIC OF BENIN IN WEST AFRICA.

I got your impressive information through my good friend who works with
chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here in
Cotonou-Benin. It is he who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable
to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem, and i
decided to contact you for beneficial and a 100% risk-free business
transaction .

Duri ng our auditing and investigations in this bank, my department
came across the sum of THIRTY FOUR MILLION ,EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THOUSAND
UNITED STATES DOLLARS(US$34,870,000)only belonging to a Japanese
international businessman (GEORGE GREEN) who died along with his next of kin on the 01 FEB 1997
in a plane crash, the aircraft nam e is Hawker Siddeley HS-748-353 Srs.
2A

Meanwhile, all the arrangments to put claims as the bonafide
next-of-kin to the deceased,to get the required approval and transfer of this
money to a foreign account has been put in place. The directives and the
needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to benefit yourself from this great business
opportunity.

Infact, we could have done this deal alone but because as civil
servants we are not legally allowed to operate foreign account,and it would
eventually raise an eyebrow on our side
during the time of transfer because we are staff of the bank.

These are the actual reasons why it requires a second-fellow who will
forward claims by our support as the bonafide next-of-kin with beninoise
court affidavit to the bank and also present a foreign bank account
where the money on his/her request will be re-trasfered into.

On conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 25% of the
total sum as gratification, 5%of the total sum will be used to reinburse
expenses that might arise from telephone bills and other expenses
during the transaction, while 70% will be for my partners and me.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy

"belonging to a Japanese
international businessman (GEORGE GREEN)"
Wait a minute. George Green doesn't sound like a Japanese name to me.
I think there's something fishy here.
