Really? I can help?
The following email was in my box today. Do these people really think I am this stupid? I thought everyone in America already knew about this hoax.
"Dear friend,
I am contacting you to assist as a co-owner of my late husband's
company and beneficiary of funds (US$25,000,000.00) due the company.
I am currently a high ranking government official in the ruling
cabinet of President Thabo Mbeki (South Africa). I am a widow and
mother of two children. My late husband Mr Ronald Tshabalala died
1996. After his death, I recently discovered that an over-invoiced
proceeds of a contract I helped his company secure is yet to be paid
out by the Reserve Bank of South Africa.
This funds emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which
my husband's company executed with the Government of South Africa.I am afraid that the government of South Africa might start to investigate on contracts awarded from 1995 to date. If they discover this money yet unclaimed with my husband's name linked to it, the government will confiscate the money and seize his assets here in South Africa and this will definitely affect my political career in Government. I want your assistance to front as a co-owner of his company (Tshabalala Construction, LTD) to facilitate the release of the funds. I will introduce a very good attorney to assist us with the transfer process without any hitch but he will not be told my interest in the transaction as I play a very sensitive role in my government. As the contract was executed in my present government department, be rest assured that I will use my position to approve the immediate release of the entitlement. As soon as the funds is release to your name, you are expected to move it immediately into your personal bank account in your country. As soon as you have confirmed receipt of the funds into your account, I will arrange to meet with you. If you agree to my proposal, please endeavour to send me an urgent reply.
Due to my sensitive position in the South African Government, I
would not want you to phone or fax me. The lawyer I will recommend to assist us will be representing our interest at the Reserve Bank of South Africa and all necessary quarters. All future correspondence must be made either to the attorney or myself.
I am reposing huge trust on you regardless of your being a total
stranger. Upon your reply, we shall dicuss your percentage for your
assistance.
Because of my sensitive position as serving government official, I
will only give you more details of myself when we proceed further
and I am sure of your sincerity.
Thank you."
On the other hand, this is my chance to do a good deed and become rich, rich, rich! Woo-hoo! It's my lucky day!
