This is the latest one I received. I thought I'd share its excellent English with you all. :lol:
"Dear Friend,
Good day.
I have some information for you about your unpaid fund, the people you are dealing with is not the original bank, why can't you deal with the bank instead of sending money to people to help you get your fund, I have their Direct Contact Information and I can direct you to the proper office/Bank where you can get paid than to be wasting your time and money.
And just bear it in mind that all this money you have been sending would have completed your payment transmission before now. Email me back only on this email samuelagbala*at*hosanna.net
Waiting to hear from you if you needed my assistance.
Regards,
Barr. Samuel Agbala"
Needless to say, I have been in touch with "Barr. Samuel Agbala", and given him my postal address, telephone number, bank account details, PINs, credit card details and national insurance number. For good measure, just so he knew who I was, I sent him my passport as well. I should be receiving a cheque in the post soon for $26,334,688. He swore that on his mother's grave. :roll: :lol:
