( READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP SECRET)
Dear friend,
I am DR AMUDU HASSAN, personal Assistant to the Branch Manager of Bank Of Africa(BOA)Ouagadougou Burkina Faso. I want to inquire from you if you can handle this transaction for mutual benefits/life opportunity for you and me. The transaction is about seeking your consent to present you as the next of kin/ beneficiary of the US$25 MILLION DOLLER,(TWENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS), and who is a customer to the bank where i work.
He died in a Kenya plane crash 2003, with his family during their vacation journey. The Fund is currently in a suspense account awaiting claim, the bank made a public notice that they are ready to release this fund to any of his relatives abroad.
THEREFORE, by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL, top secret should be maintained please!,because i am still in the active service i do not need any form of implication especially now i'm in the verge of my retirement to endanger my carear at last!.
Since we got the information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws.
In that regard, i decided to seek your consent for this prospective opportunity. Have it at the back of your mind, that the transaction does not involve any RISK, and does not need much engagement from you, since i am familiar with this kind of transaction being an insider.Necessary modalities will be worked out to enable us carry out the fund claim under a legitimate arrangement. I have resolved to offer you 30% of the total fund, 10% for sundry expenses that may be incurred during the process of executing this transaction and 60% percent for me.
I will give you more details about the transaction when I receive your affirmative response,more clarification information.
I'm waiting to hear from you soon.
Thanks and God bless.
DR.AMUDU HASSAN.

They are still around because they still work. I saw a documentary on these types of emails a while back, send millions and millions out and you will get a tiny, tiny percentage that will believe it and that equates to millions of dollars for the scammers.

How could you possibly not trust a document thats TOP SECRET that was sent at random to your email? It clearly reads: 'that the transaction does not involve any RISK.' Geez some people are just paranoid. Don't you know that 30% of $25 million is a lot of cabbage.
