Money

 

I have just got this totally unsolicited email today, from my new best friend; I’m rich, I’ll never have to work again!

FROM THE DESK OF MR. SALIFOU SAWADOGO.
THE SENIOR AUDITOR IN CHARGE FOREIGN
REMITTANCE UNIT, BANK OF AFRICA (BOA).
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO.

Dear Friend,

Good Day,

I know that this message will come to you as a surprise. I am Mr. Salifou Sawadogo, "THE CHIEF AUDITOR IN CHARGE OF THE FOREIGN REMITTANCE UNIT here in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso. I hope that you will not expose or betray this trust that I am about to repose on you for the mutual benefit of our both families.
I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of (us$14.3m) Fourteen Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars to your account within 14 banking days. This money has been dormant for years in our bank without claim. I want the bank to release / transfer the money to your account over there as the nearest person to the deceased customer, the owner (the deceased customer) of the account died along with his supposed next of kin in an air crash since 2003.

I don't want the money to go into our bank treasury as an abandoned fund. So this is the reason why I contacted you so that the bank can release / transfer the money to you as the next of kin to the deceased customer.

Please i would like you to keep this proposal as a top secret and delete it if you are not interested. Upon receipt of your reply, I will give you full details on how the business will be executed and also note that you will have 45% of the above mentioned sum if you agree to handle this business with me and 55% will be for me.
I await your urgent communication.

Best regards,

Mr. Salifou Sawadogo.

 

I’ve crossed out the name so that no one else will get a share of my millions, now to send him my bank account number and all my personal details…

I really do need to go birding!!!

Don't worry about him one bit. He's solid as a rock. I've sent him all my bank details and he's been back on to me to say the cheque's in the post.

I'm thinking of buying a f*ck-off big motor cruiser to take all the lads on a pelagic they'll never forget with the proceeds.

Richard - I hate to disappoint you further, but I, like Alan, have also taken full advantage of this offer. So 'your' £14m will now be split three ways.............

he asked me not to "expose or betray this trust" and now I find that it wasn't just me that he was giving money to, at this rate, I'll have to go to work tomorrow
