DEAR,

RE: TRANSFER OF US$15.200.000 00 MILLION TO YOUR ACCOUNT.

I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business. Though this
medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it
because it still remains the fastest medium of communication. However, this
correspondence is private, and it should be treated in strict confidence.
At first I will like to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk and
trouble free to both parties, In order to transfer out FIFTEEN MILLION TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, (US$15.200 000 00) from our bank here in Burkina Faso The fund for transfer is of clean origin. The owner of the fund is a foreigner,a program leader who was believed to acquire the fund through his secret CrudeOil deal with the Former IRAQ government. The deceased died with all the membersof his family in an auto-accident in June 23, 2001 without a WILL. The amount involved is US$15,200,000.00
I want to transfer this money into your account as the foreign beneficiary of
the fund. I know that this letter will come to you as a surprise as we don't
know ourselves before, BUT BE SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND A GENUINE BUSINESS. I CONTACT YOU BELIEVINGTHAT YOU WILL NOT LET ME DOWN ONCE THEFUND GOES INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. YOU CAN CONTACT ME WITH MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS WHICH IS

Che senso di nostalgia, erano anni che non rivedevo questo trucco... è così vecchio che ha passato pure il filtro anti-spam... Mi viene quasi da contattarlo davvero, per parlare dei bei tempi andati, quando lo spam era così genuino, così, se vogliamo dirlo, ingenuo... Adesso puntano sulla quantità, più che sulla qualità: non si inventano la belle storie fantasiose come questa, ma mandano milioni di mail tutte uguali parlando di presunti problemi sull'accesso ai servizi on-line del conto... Materialisti senza fantasia!

PS. Lo so, latito... Ma il periodo è frenetico, e non riesco ad affrancarmi da Facebook (ma posso smettere quando voglio).
