The Latest From The Get Rich Scams

I just thought I would share the latest money-making get-rich scam that I have received in my e-mail. It's not as bad as the last one I shared, but still, do people really fall for these things? I'm nowhere near desperate enough to give this thing a try. And I'm posting this as I received it, typos, misspellings, and all.

Dear friend,

I have the courage to ask for your assistance in my desire to invest in your country, I believe that you can handle this important and confidential business hoping that you will never let me down either now or in the future.

I know that this letter might surprise you because; we have not met neither in person nor by correspondence. But I believe it is one day that you get know somebody either in physical or through correspondence.

I am Mr. Martinez Reich, the Personal Accountant to Late "John Shumejda" who opend an account in this bank in 1992 and since year 2002 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I do not move this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account was Late "John Shumejda" who died on 4th Ja n 2002 in a plane crash in Birmingham.

No other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it,and my investigation proved to me also that the account has no other beneficiary and the amount involved is {£15,000,000.00} Fifteen Million pounds sterlings.

I need your full cooperation in transferring this dormant fund out of our bank to avoid confiscating this fund. I will split the transfer into two 2 stages for easy and smooth transfer. First, I will transfer £5,000,000.00 to any valid foreign account you will provide, upon it's successful transfer without any disappointment from your side; I will then fly to meet you in your country for sharing, thereafter we will jointly transfer the remaining balance of £10,000,000.00 for magnitude investments.

I want to tell you that this transaction is 100% risk free and legal because all the documents that will back up this transaction will be available, so that nobody will question the fund when it is finaly transfered into yo uraccount.

With my position now in the office I can tra! nsfer th is money to any foreigner's reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharingand I want to assure you that your share has been calculated at 35% of the total sum.

I want to ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end for this important business trusting in you and believing in God that you will never let me down either now or in future.
