Hello,

Please accept my sincere apologies if my email does not meet your business
or personal ethics. I introduce myself as Liam a staff in the accounts management
section of a well-known bank here in the United Kingdom.

One of our accounts with holding balance of £15,000,000 (Fifteen Million
British Pounds) has been dormant and last operated, three years ago. From
my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account, a Foreigner
by name Gerald Stone died on the 4th of January 2002 in a plane crash in
Birmingham here in UK.

Since then, nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money,
as he has no family member that has any knowledge as to the existence of
either the account or the funds; Information from the National Immigration
also states that he was single on entry into the UK.

I have confidentially discussed this issue with some of the bank officials
and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with. We therefore
propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of these
funds from the deceased and funds released to you after due processes have
been followed.

This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate
and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal
act.

On your interest, let me hear from you.

Warm Regards,

Liam

Hello,

I'm so glad you got in touch with me! I was just recently complaining to my wife that without some kind of miracle, we're going to have to take out a second mortgage. And put the kids (two of them, a darling boy aged 12, and our little princess aged 7) up for sale.

Just kidding!

I must admit I was wary at first, but after reading your email through to the end, this seems like a safe bet - it seems too good to be true! I'm certain nobody with your command of the English language would even *consider* getting involved with shady dealings.

The truth is, my father died in a plane crash a relatively short time ago, and one of the things I'm most concerned about is that this man, Gerald Stone - a man who was capable of amassing ENORMOUS wealth (to be honest, I've never even THOUGHT about commanding even a tiny fraction of that amount!) - has nobody to remember him fondly.

So, let's make a deal. If you will send me a photograph of yourself putting flowers on this man's grave, I will be MORE than happy to check into the details of getting all this money sorted out. In fact, my fee would amount to no more than a small percentage. I don't really need that much money, but I would like the satisfaction of knowing this man isn't completely forgotten.

Looking forward to doing business with you!

Your partner,

PS. I will be in London for a short time in the next few months - perhaps we can meet up?

i'm wondering if i'll get a photo or two...

this morning - i had that sensation of a cape town morning after a hard party... i don't know why. but it was a good feeling. i slept like a baby, i slept until 3.30pm, and have done nothing more interesting than hang online and tune out anything and everything that taxes my base facilities. in other words, i'm switched off and sitting with a small smile on my face.

i really was hoping to do some serious partying tonight, but the prospects don't look too hot. i can't find a single party listing!

i think i'm going to spend the rest of the afternoon / evening alternating between napping and reading.
