b.martinsWonna give it a try?
I have just received the following e-mail, but as I actually don’t “need†that much money, I thought someone else here could give it a try and collect enough money for a few fantastic safaris:
"From
Abdul Razak Kaseem [abdulrazakk@katamail.com]"
"Dearly Beloved,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will pass on someday everyone eventually has appointment with death. My name is Abdul Razak Kaseem a merchant in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirate (U.A.E).
I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts (I am in a private ward in a private
hospital here in the United Kingdom). 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 focused 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. I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give also 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, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself 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 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 contented with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen million dollars $18,000, 000, 00 that I have with a Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect/receive this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations.
I'll be awaiting your quick response.
For your time and honesty, I have set aside 10% for you.
Wassallam.
Abdul Razak Kaseem."
Almost 2M is a lot of money!!!

FjoldHey Saeed, maybe you can help a fellow countryman out and collect all the money and distribute it to the needy people of Africa?

vapodogI'd be a billionaire (and buy the Winchester factory) by now if there was even a particle of truth is these scams.
I used to get a dozen of them a week.

eyedocGee whizz.Giving away this money to a reputable charity may take a bit of work ,but with the nearly two million extra money think of all the nice hunts I could do.First off,I'll want to call Ray and Pierre about a fall hunt in the Kigosi.
Where do I sign up?Probably gonna need my banking information so I will be looking up my account number while I await a reply!

RM007A new twist to an old con. These letters use to come out of Nigera. When some one responds you are requested to send money to open accounts so funds can be transfered to you. The odds of collecting any money are about as good as me becoming president.

FjoldI'd give it away because I don't need it. I've won eleven foreign lotteries in the last month and I don't even remember entering them.
