Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for
me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Anup Thaapa, a merchant in Dubai, in the
U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer
which was discovered  very late, due to my laxity in
carrying for my health. It has defiled all forms 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 world. 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 God ! has called me, 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. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my
soul and so, I have decided to give arms to charity
organizations and give succour and confort to the less
priviledged in our societies, 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, Algeria and Malaysia. Now
that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do
this my self anymore. I once asked members of my
family to close one of my accounts and distribute the
money which I have there to charity organization and
to the less priviledged in Bulgaria and Pakistan, 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 no one knows of is the
huge cash deposit of Sixteen million dollars $16,000,000,00
that I have with a finance brokers and Security underwriters in Europe,

this financial company operates in funds management,
international cash,banking with a reputable correspondent
bank worldwide,bullion underwriting,security handling and general
appropriation.

I will want you to assist me transfer
this deposit into your bank account and  dispatched it to
charity organizations and world HIV/AIDS programmes in  Ethiopia.
Please kindly contact me through  my private email address below.
Keep this confidential and treat with discretion,
while i await to hear from you.
Please send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this
disbursement. I am ready to welcome your price on this.
You can e-mail me at my private e-mail address:

([email protected])

for easy communication While I await to hear from you,
may God be with you and your entire family.
Remain blessed,
Anup Thaapa

Right. I wonder if anyone will fall for this.

Maybee I could take the money for myself... then I'd be rich! Bwaa ha ha ha

On that subject, I had a great email from the legal representative of Nigerian royalty who had died in a car crash.

It turns out I shared the same surname as them! And with no next of kin it would be possible for him to transfer 80% of their billionaire-fortune to my account with a 10% surcharge for himself and a further 10% for legal proceedings.

All he needs is my name, address, telephone number, occupation, next of kin and a couple of other things.

It's a shame I deleted the email before I realised what a great oppertunity it was for my financial future. East come easy go I guess!

I never read any spam/scam emails...never.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!

[Falcon]

Wow charity organizations are getting really needy huh?

Yeah I get those sometimes to, good read on some of them but others I question

[vyper]

I knew that bastards at the Red Cross were gearing up for something...

[kode]

what kind of arms?

and would they later require legs too?

[Mongoose]

He "defiled" modern medicine?

[Rictor]

You know, these sorts of scams could actually be made to work if someone put a little effort into them, such as setting up a website with the appearance of secure money transfers, printed off some legit-looking letterheads etc.

[Clave]

They have no idea...

'Do you want to be happy?'

'Send $1 to Happy Dude, Evergreen Terrace, Springfield'

Simple, cheap and effective - not like 'I have $16 million, but it'll cost you' - It's so obvious...

Barney: No it's not okay... I befouled your broom closet,  and made sweet love to your pool table... and then befouled it also.
Moe: Well that'd explain the drop off in play...

Funny. Umar Ahmed, of Umar & Ahmed just emailed me, on my gmail account (how they got that I'll never know)

PROVISION OF BANK ACCOUNT TO DEPOSIT FUNDS.

I am Barrister  Umar Ahmed, Principal partner of Umar & Ahmed

Associates and attorney to Engr.St. Micheals Idioma a Director and

Award Committe officer with the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation

based in Warri, Delta State.

In November 2002, my client received gratification of Eighteen Million

U.SDollars($18,000,000.00) from the contract awarded to foreign firms

for the construction and maintenance of 250 Million (LPG) Gas Plant at

Warri Refinery, but for the civil service laws brought about by the

resent government barring civil servants from operating foreign

accounts and receiving gratifications after assets declaration. If

detected it will amount to corruption while in service hence asking

that you provide your details for processing with NNPC, thereafter

forwarding it to the Custodian of the fund for a direct claim as the

contractor.

Hence the fund is under the custody of Security Company/Equity Company

for safe keeping. I have been mandated by my client (Engr.St. Micheals

Idioma) to seek assistance of a trustworthy foreign company or an

individual who could help to provide bank account to receive the money

for investment without any hitch.

However, my client has agreed to an open discussion for benefits should

you accept being the claimant Therefore, if this request meets with

your due approval. Please forward your contact details for commencement

with details briefing

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards.
