subject BUSINESS PROPOSAL!!

Dear Sir/Madam

I am Barrister James Smith the personal attorney to Mr.Alexander
Litvinenko the late Russian ex-spy.Before his death my client made a
confessional statement to me that he has the sum of $10,500,000,00 USD in a
security firm that is undisclosable right now.
As a foreigner your assistance is needed to claim the funds,every legal
backing document will be sent to you.For your effort you will be
rewarded with 30%.
If you are interested reply to my personal
email:barr.james_legalpractioner@yahoo.co.uk

N.B:This email should be held on the basis of high confidentiality

Psst, thought I'd share this with you, don't tell anyone though!

[midzt]

Oooooooo, you've had a stroke of luck there, so jammy. Thats like over 300 grand! Shame he hasn't got an email from his company tho eh?

[Nick]

300 grand? more like £160,126,651 (and a few pennies)

Check that figure again, it's $10,500,000,00 USD... all commas, NOT decimal places.

Now I think noticing that the cut is significantly higher than midzt's appallingly low calculation, I reckon I deserve to be getting in on some of the action.

(and let's throw £3.000,000,000 midzt's way, eh?)

WRONG! £533,929,164. And 83 pennies to be precise.


That's just over a billion USD. I want in, too.

[midzt]

actually, theres only 2 00s after the last comma, so that does count as a decimal place, so its really just $10.5 mill, and 30% of that it 315 grand US$. (which is what i refered to ) Which is just over 160 thou pounds.

/joins line of lucky people to be offered such cool stuff.

hey......I just got one!

lol, nope, cos MY figure is the 30% offered!

Jeez, read the offer or some shyster lwayer is going to fleece you!

Ah but the rule is different in Nigeria, it's the form of punctuation not the position that defines the amount.

Anyway, all of this is hardly relevant, as my obvious superior financial astuteness and verbosity make me the ideal partner for this enterprise...

[GeorgeTuk]

Awww man can't believe I missed out!

[5cupa]

anyone with a surname of smith must be legit, right behind bloggs and John Doe

[chicken]

I think he must be genuine, look he used not one but TWO e-mail addresses with his name and even his job title in them!!!1
