I got an email from the "Foreigner Remittance Dept."
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 09:09 AM by anarch
of the "African Development Bank". It seems I may have some money coming my way!

Here's the first part of the email:

"Dear Friend,
I am the officer of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
department
of African development bank.

In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of US$10.5 US dollars "

It goes on to say that since no "next of kin" can be located for the original account holder (he died in a plane crash - Oh nohs!), I can have this money deposited in my account if I just send this fellow all my personal information. I think I should do it...I mean, ten and a half bucks is a lot of loot for me! What do you all think?

1. Oh, yeah go for it.
Now, that wouldn't be one of those Nigerian scam letters, would it? :sarcasm:

2. Nigerian? Nah, it's from Burkina Faso, apparently...
so it must be on the up-and-up. Besides, "US$10.5 US Dollars" seems worth the risk to me...I could buy a sandwich, and some chips!
