I got this urgent e-mail recently. Well, I will let you see it. [My comments in red Italics.]

I read in the Calgary Herald recently that a lot of Canadians have been taken in by the Nigerian Letter Fraud in the recent past. The paper said that the proceeds have been going to terrorist organisations. (Or was that 'tourist organisations'?)FROM HASSAN BIN ZAIT:...Edward [Gypsy] Friday, July 17, 2009 11:53 PM

A Foreign Diamond consultant/contractor with the Sierra Leonean National Diamond Corporation, Mr. Charles [Gypsy] [they got my name, and spelled it right, too!] , who here in after shall be referred to as my client, died as the result of a heart-related condition in March 12th 2005 [probably as a result of being your client],made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at USD$19,000,000.00,(Nineteen Million Dollars). His heart condition was due to the death of all the members of his family in the tsunami disaster on the 26th December 2004 in Sumatra Indonesia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. [Since he never existed, I am not surprised.] I therefore made further investigation and discovered that he did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork before me.
I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank [Oooo! I'd better hurry!] where this deposit valued at $19million dollars is lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be confiscated.. My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my late client, since you have the same last name with him [Amazing, since my brother and I modified our last name slightly as adults.], so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. [Like, zip?]
All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next of kin will be secured gradually and forwarded to you. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. [Except by you.]
If this business proposition offends your moral values [Not a bit, but you do, my stinky friend], do accept my apology. Please contact me at once to indicate your interest. [Perhaps I will. What jail are you in?]

BARR.HASSAN BIN ZAIT. [I tink I bin zait, too!]
