I WON $3.7 MILLION DOLLARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CITIBANK CASH PROCESSING DELIVERY DEPT. UNITED NATIONS (WORLD BANK ASSISTED PROGRAMME) DIRECTORATE OF INTERNATIONAL PAYMENT AND TRANSFERS.
PROMENADE LEVEL, CABOT PLACE EAST,
CANARY WHARF, LONDON E14 4QS
ENGLAND.
Our Ref: WB/NF/UN/XX027

ATTN: Beneficiary

This is to congratulate you and officially inform you that your over- due Fund have been approved for immediate payment by Direct Cash Delivery at your door step in your country.

This new method of payment was personal approved by the Presidency last week because of the fraudulent practices going on in our Apex Bank and most of our Offshore Payment Centers which have failed to carry out their duties effectively.

All you need to do now is to forward immediately your complete delivery address, direct phone number and copy of your identification which should be either International Passport, Driver License or National Identity Card. Same you will use to identify your self when the Diplomat arrive your country for the delivery.

Meanwhile, before the departure of your consignment, we shall process and deliver through the diplomat your Fund Ownership Certificate which will prove that you are
the rightful beneficiary of the fund, it will also clear you from tax payment on your contract fund upon the arrival of the cargo.

Also note that from the record in our file, your outstanding contract payment is USD $3.7 Million dollars (Three million seven hundred thousand
United States Dollars). Kindly re-confirm to me if this is inline with what you have in your record.

Note, the Diplomat will contact you upon their arrival in your country before the delivery of the package to your contact address where you will sign the recipient invoice and produce your identification before they hand over your cargo to you.

We expect your urgent response to this email to enable us monitor this payment effectively.
Treat as urgent.
Thanks,
Yours faithfully,
REV.DR.MARK MILLER
( Director, public relation & information I .C. P. D. D.)

3. What amazes me about this scam is that it's pure nonsense.
It's like a bunch of official sounding words thrown together. Who would believe this?

4. I've gotten many of these bullshit e-mails over the past few months
I wonder how many people really DO fall for them? I guess quite a few, since they've been in circulation for a while :shrug:

5. I've read that many people, especially the elderly, buy them hook, line, and sinker.
Just goes to show you, as stupid as the people are who come up with these, there are people even stupider who will believe it.

7. I didn't consider it, since I couldn't get past the BS factor of it all
I wanted to send them a really nasty reply, but then I figured it would do no good. They'll just keep sending these e-mails anyway

13. Yeah...isn't THAT a warning bell in itself?
:crazy: the scary thing is there are people like this who count on stupid people ( this world has an abundance) to fall for this crap...but this shit has been going on long before the internet! There were mail scams and even scams on television ( still are..just look at the AbRocket...I STILL don't have rock-hard abs!!!!!!! ) People will fall for any shit!

20. no, that's a good sign - I bet you'll really get the money
It's not like it can be faked like a cashier's check. This is real cold hard cash. I think you should follow this up. :)

10. Huh,huh,huh...here is my response to the assholes....
This is great news indeed! I am looking forward to the $3.7 million U.S dollars you are willing to offer me ( although, I must confess I don't know why I won anything ). Please deliver it to 225 Mill Street Apt.A Bristol, Pennsylvania Postal Zip Code 19007 as SOON AS POSSIBLE, as I really need this money to quiet these people who are constantly pestering me for money owed them due to significant drug deal complications and such. Yes, the cocaine business is not an easy life, by any stretch of the imagination as most Americans expect it to be. I find it has been rather bothersome dealing with these Colombian thugs and wish for them to be off of my back as quickly as can be arranged. If you or your constituents know of anyone who can assist in this matter it would be of my utmost appreciation and gratitude forthcoming as I would handsomely award you ( or said constituents ) one-third of my winnings delivered ( to your doorstep, of course ) and perhaps we can arrive at some mutual agreement. As I type, these thugs are banging on my door demanding payment for their goods and I can't......AHHHHHH. AHHHHRGGGGHHHHHHHHGHHHHHHHHHH( gurgle, gurgle) AARrrrrrgghhh............................................................................

18. Here's my favorite reply.
Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you very much for writing to me. I am Conchita and I am so poor that I have no last name, as my father could not afford one for me. We live on a small island in the South Pacific and are the only family that has lived here for the past one hundred years.

Unfortunately, we have eaten almost everything on the island except for the dirt and two skinny dogs that are too old to scratch fleas. Fortunately, we ate all the fleas so there are none left for the dogs to worry about.

I am so pleased that you have offered to send us all that money. We have not seen money for the last three generations as we have no place to spend it and no means of getting to a place where we could spend it if we wanted to. I can assure you that we will take excellent care of your funds and invest them wisely. Our plan for the money is as follows:

1. We want to build a deep-water port in Williwilli, our little lagoon here on the island.

2. We then want to bring in a barge with an electrical generator so that we can have electricity on the island once again. We haven't had electricity in over two hundred years because the last generator broke down and we have no parts to repair it.

3. We want to build a school here so the children can learn to read and write. It is really hard to create email messages with no electricity and no knowledge of reading or writing skills.

4. We then want to install a phone company so we can communicate with the outside world and meet more wonderful people like you and your blessed family.

5. We then want to build a satellite cable system so we can watch television and see all the latest fights in the world. We don't have those here and miss them very much. We think that we could probably hook up a computer to the cable or telephone lines so we could send email messages to our newfound friends when we get them.

6. We want to build a grocery store so we have a place to buy things like bubble gum and candy, something we have never had here.

7. We will then need to build a road from our cave to the grocery store so we can get there. Of course, we will need a car to drive on the road or there will be no point in having a road, will there?

8. If we get a car we will need gas and oil but maybe we could just take some from the electrical generator and save that money for a beauty salon, something we really need here. Have you seen the women around here? They are just awful looking.

9. Of course, we will have to build a church so we have a place to go and be thankful for the gifts you have offered us.

Once all these things have been completed, if there is any money left we would like to use it to build a house to live in. The hole we use for an outhouse is rapidly filling up since we began receiving your letters of appeal and we will need to move soon as the cave will be unbearable to live in during hot weather. Air conditioning in our new house would be nice too.

It is too bad that I am only eight years old. If I were older I could come and visit you if you sent me an airplane ticket and an airplane with pontoons on it so it could land in the lagoon. One of my grandchildren would like to come and visit you also, if you don't mind.

I shall patiently await the arrival of the next bottle with your message telling us when the money will be here. Thank you again, for your kind generosity; it is sincerely appreciated.


Conchita

19. Don't trust it, it's from Citibank
Don't get your hopes up unless it's from a more reliable source, say, in Nigeria. :think:
