Struck it Rich!

[aeonf242]

Ha, I've just got an e-mail that'll make me rich:

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains so I decided to contact you through this medium.

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday.My name is Hassan Idris, a merchant in Dubai,
in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for
anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to ! life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the w orld. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this
world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.
Now that I know my time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends and Schools in the UAE.
I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be
one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, London and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria, they
refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them
anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I! have left for them. The last of my money which is the huge cash deposit that I have with Financial Firm Abroad .I will want you to help me collectthis deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that it is I Hassan
Idris that is making this generous donation.
I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait
for my time to come.I hope you will be able to give many lives meaning by this act of mine.Lifeis nothing!

task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will Jeopadize my last wish. Also I will be contacting with you by only by email as I don't want anybody to know because they are always around me.

Don't know what to make of it.

But I'd take note of the e-mail address "whatdoyoutakemefor.com"

edit: it could be like those South African Banking e-mail scams where they ask you to give them your banking details (you were meant to get a percentile of the laundered money).

Here's the gem I received not long ago

FROM THE DESK OF DR.JOHNA JOE
CREDIT OFFICER OF THE STANDARD
BANK OF ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE
P.O BOX 3467 NEW ABIDJAN ROAD.

ATTN:
PRIVATE BUSINESS PROPOSAL, [NEXT OF KIN.]

Dear Friend,

Compliment of the day and how is life general with you? Of course it is my humble wish to solicit and cave your indulgence to make this project request for a joint business transaction which I hope will not come to you as a surprise, hence I plead for your pardon.

Let me start by introducing myself. I am DR.JOHNA JOE credit officer of the Standard Bank of abidjan. I have a concealed business suggestion for you.

Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General. Ibrahim Moussa who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war early thisyear.

Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the General and his family had been killed during the warin a bomb blast that hit their home. After further investigation it was also that Gen. Ibrahim Moussa did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit.And he also confided in me the last time he was at
my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Twenty millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.

What bothers my bothers most is that according to the to the laws of my country at the expiration 3 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Gen.Ibrahim Moussa so that you will be able to receive his funds.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE:I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa,all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.

There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor toobserve utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.

Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the course of this operation. Should you be interested please send me your Full names and address and I will provide you with more details of this operation.l will prefers you to reach me via this email for security purpose. Your earliest response to this
letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards

DR.JOHNA JOE.
