FOR GOD AND HUMANITYAs you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.My name is joesy a merchant in Dubai,in the U.A.E. I worked with Kuwait oil Company and eight years as a contractor. Ihave been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live,according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I ever really cared for anyone(not even myself) but my business. Though I was very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.I believe when God gives m e a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia.Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves.Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The only person I would have trusted to do this with is my lawyer but he is a very bus y man as he is occupied with other official tasks, thus he would not have the time to assist me with this mission as I want to see this done before my death.The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations.I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.I shall give you more details once you reply this mail.I have set aside 20% for you and for your time .God be with you.I want you to please reply me through my private email: [color=#0000ff]joesy_vic@yahoo.com[/color] (joesy_vic@yahoo.com)The Lord is my StrengthRe main blessed.joesy

Pleas Send your reply to this email address; ([color=#0000ff]abbahnasser002@yahoo.it[/color] (abbahnasser002@yahoo.it)) Hello my dear,Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. I am Director of Procurement Department at the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, here in the United Arab Emirates. I obtained your email while searching for a reliable person, who could assist me in receiving transfer of a supposed contract awarded funds. This fund came as a result of over estimated contract awarded sums executed by foreign contractors in the Petroleum Ministry. This fund has been approved for payment to the contractor by the concerned Ministry. The contracts had been executed and commissioned. What I am about to receive now, is the over estimated funds which the contractor whom I helped during the process of obtaining the contracts added to his estimation for my own interest. This is a normal deal that goes in my Ministry by top officials. On our part, all modalities has been worked out in ensuring a smooth conclusion of the transfer to your account within the next few days. All I want from you is to receive this funds on my behalf, because as Government Official I cannot collect the funds directly from the contractor, neither I am allowed by Law to operate/ run foreign bank accounts. If you are trustworthy and can assist me in receiving the fund, do not hesitate to respond back to me immediately.Please note that there is no risk involved in receiving the funds in your account for and it will be done through wire transfer. I wish you to state in percentage what you shall have for the use of your account. As soon as you indicate your interest, further details and the amount involved shall be given to you once I hear from you. Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. Looking forward to hearing from you soonest.Best regards,Engr. Abbah Nasser.Ministry of Petroleum and Ministry Resources.United Arab Emirates.

ON THE 10TH DEC 2003, I WAS MANDATED BY THE PRESIDENT TO SUMMIT ALL INTERNATIONAL CONTRACTORS AND FUEL SUPPLIERS COMPANY NAMES WHOSE CONTRACT PAYMENT IS YET TO BE PAYED TO THEM BY THE NNPC IN PARNTERSHIP WITH A LOAN FACILITY FROM CITIBANK GROUP FOR THE LAST QUARTER OF THE YEAR. I HAD TO USE MY POSITION TO RESHEDULED THE SUM OF 28.6 MILLION US DOLLARS AS A CONTRACT PAYMENT YET TO BE PAYED INTO AN UKNOWN CONTRACTORS ACCOUNT.

i especially like the part where he clarifies " ( PLEASE THIS IS NO SCAM) "

[zokah]

why not reply

It would appear that you are asking me to be party to a criminal action!
I am a devout member of the Church of the Forbidden Compounds founded by the late Rev. John Holmes, blessed be his name.
My church does not approve of any illegal actions and requires that we report all miscreants to the authorities.
As you are probably aware the proctor of our Nigerian mission is also an inspector with the Lagos police so in following the dicktastes of my church I am considering forwarding all of your emails to him.

there are no typos or spelling errors above :D

Depending on his reply you might be able to screw him for some money or at least cause him to need to change his pants
