Obners, how should I play this?

to: me
from: zama makeba

Atten: Friend,

Good Day,
Please, kindly pardon me for any inconvenience this letter may cost you
because I know it may come to you as a surprise as we' have no previous
correspondence .

I got your contact as I was searching for helping hand in your country, this
is why I decided to appeal to you directly for assistance because i' have no relations or friends in your country for help me. I am Mrs.Zama Makeba from Zimbabwe. I am a widow being that I lost my husband last year.

My husband was a serving director of the Tobacco exporting board until his death. He was assassinated last January by the rebels following the
political uprising.

But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he deposited the sum of (US$7.2 million United States Dollars) in the name of our only son (Fortune Makeba) with the help of reputable security company in South Africa with the intention of using it to open fertilizer manufacturing company among other companies in our neighboring country (Swaziland) after his university education.

On the 15th January 2005, the war veterans and some supporters
of(ZANU-PF)ruling party trooped into our compound and assassinates him (my husband) to death. Since then, they have been terrorizing my only son (Fortune Makeba), but he managed to escape to a neighboring country, South Africa as a political asylum seeker (refugee). But his position in South Africa does not permit him to open an account or run any huge financial business.

I want you to do me a favor to receive these funds to a safe account in your country or any safer place as the beneficiary.

For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to
have 20% of the money for your assistance, and helping my family investing these funds, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Which ever the option you want, please do notify me in your reply.

I have plans to do investment in your country, like real estate and
industrial production. This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you
are willing to assist me and my only son Fortune, indicate your interest in
replying soonest. Upon your immediate response,I will immediately arrange and send to you all the information's that will empower your good self in finalizing the transaction with the security company in South Africa. I will also send to you the agreement that will protect both interests. And also further information about your self is necessary for I can not play on this.

Thanks
best regards.
Mrs. Zama Makeba

[ Edit: Okay, I fucked that up royally. Nothing to see here, move along. ]

Thats awesome. I love how the sons name is "fortune"

Reply and say sure, you'll do it.

We all scoff and delete these but what if he replied and it turned out it was real? We'd all be kicking ourselves.

Yeah, really! I mean 7.2 mil? C'mon!

Exactly! 20% of that? For $1,440,000 can you afford not to reply?

I sent her MONOPOLY money.
She seems quite happy now..

I got one yesterday about someone wanting money to buy an oxen.

Hey Konstantini, if you have'nt deleted that latest internet scam letter please post it.

I'm afraid I cleaned all the crap out of there this morning.

I understand.

I bet judgelfloro is somehow tied up in this...
