Isn't it funny, how life just comes at you when you least expect it? Take this morning for example, just like any other morning, I'm not expecting to become a millionaire, but I open up my In E-mail in box and ..... THERE IT IS!!!!!

Wow... 39.5000 Million dollars!!!!!

Of course I'm going to respond immediately.... wait.. first I think I'll call my boss and tell him to shove it. Be right back you guys, I got to make a phone call.....

I am Mr Buru Onya working with
African Development Bank(ADB)
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Dear friend,

This message might meet you in utmost surprise. However, it's just the urgent need for a foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction. I am Mr Buru Onya from Burkina Faso in west Africa. I got your e-mail contacts from website after my extensive search for capable person. I prayed and meditated fervently over it and i committed it into the hands of almighty that you should be the rightful person to help out before I made up my mind to contact you today.

I have the opportunity of transferring the left over fund sum of US$39.500 Million dollars into a foreign account and the said fund belongs to our deceased client. Hence, I am inviting you for a business deal where this money can be shared between us in the ratio of 60/40 if you agree to my business proposal.

Further details of the transfer will be forwarded to you as soon as I receive your return mail. Reply me here for security reasons, Email
(mrburuonya@voila.fr)

Have a great day.

Thanks,
Sincerely,
Mr Buru Onya

Route 66 · 8 January 2011, 05:07 AM

39.5000 Million dollars?!?!

MonBK · 8 January 2011, 05:14 AM

What part of the "Confidential" did you not understand?

TheVTCGuy · 8 January 2011, 05:28 AM

Well, did it, called my boss, told him what I thought of him, told Sony to go to hell.... yep, I'm all set now.

Going to respond right now and get ready to receive my 40% of 39.500 Million dollars! Woo Hoo!

Wait... did... did somebody say "scam?"

Chipmunk · 8 January 2011, 05:32 AM

I think Mr. Buru Onya meant to say 60% to Paul.

Uh no. This is the quote: "Hence, I am inviting you for a business deal where this money can be shared between us in the ratio of 60/40 if you agree to my business proposal." The scammer uses "us" rather than "you and me" or "me and you." Therefore you cannot definitively challenge that my claim of 40% is wrong.

Guess you'll be depositing the check with Bank of America?

Paul, you gotta bargain with them, dont settle for a percentage.
Ask for an advance, as well, a couple mil, for your time.

abigsecret · 8 January 2011, 07:03 AM

Don't forget Paul, you owe me too........... for my time, reading this thread!

I talk with them telling them its scam, some believe me and some do not want to believe me.

Richard!?!!??!?!? What!?!?!? You mean.... you mean I might NOT be getting 40% of 39.500 Million Dollars!?!?!?!?

OH Great!

I've got to call my boss.... I sure hope he has a good sense of humor.... Is it April? Maybe I can tell him this was an early April Fools joke...

I am SUCH a Dorklehead!!!

Watch Professor · 8 January 2011, 07:25 AM

I would negotiate that 40%. You deserve at least 50%.

WOW! You must feel just like those people in Washington who just won the Megamillions Jackpot. This may be just the start of something big. Once you help this guy out he'll probably have friends who need help also. You lucky guy.
