Haven't seen one of these in a while...

Found this in my SPAM folder and thought I would share it.

kongedward177@yahoo.com Greetings

friend,

I am Mr. Edward Kong, the Vice President and Branch Manager of The

Bank of East Asia (USA), Flushing Branch Flushing New York, USA. I write to seek

your consent to carry out a transaction that would be highly beneficial to you

and me. I know you may be wondering why I am contacting you for this despite all

the friends and relations that I have but I decided to do this with an unknown

person to avoid any form of blackmail in the future.

Mr. Alvin Peter

Kappelmann Jr was an account holder with my bank. I have been his account

officer for 11 years before his death. He died during the World Trade Centre

bombing in September 11 2001. Please confirm from this site:

http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/memorial/people/2632.html

Since

his death, the management of my bank has made series of efforts to locate his

family but all efforts were proved abortive. I also carried out series of

research to find his family but it was confirmed that the mother who was the

only surviving member of the family died at the hearing of the son’s death. He

was already divorced before his death and due to this fact; no one was able to

claim the fund he deposited in my bank legally because there was no will to it.

He had a secret dollar account with my bank which worth the sum of

$58,200,000.00 (Fifty Eight Million, Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)

with an interest agreement of 6.7%, which have been for the past 9 years.

My

purpose of contacting you now is this:

My bank during the last executive

board meeting resolved that if by the end of this year and there is no

beneficiary to the said account, the account will be confiscated and the fund

sent to the bank treasury and this is where I am interested in and wants you to

come in:

I want you to come in as the Next of Kin/Beneficiary to this

account. I have some of the titled documents to back your claim and as the Vice

President and Manager of this branch, it is in my power to carry out any form of

verification on the beneficiary of the said fund and process the fund wire

without any problem. I want you to know that this is legal, 100% risk free as

all the titled documents would be changed to your name, and the fund wired to

any bank account you wish to have it wired to.

Please note that I am willing

to let you have 50% of the total sum while you give me 50% when the fund finally

gets to your nominated bank account. Also, note that I am willing to go extra

mile to make this a success because if anything goes wrong, then I stand the

risk of losing my job and even go to jail for trying to carry out such

transaction. This is why I am contacting you so that we can put heads together

and take care of this transaction within now and the next 9 days.

Kindly get

back to me immediately at ( kongedward177@yahoo.com ) so that I

advise you on how this would be carried out.

 

Sincerely,

Mr. Edward Kong

Vice President/Manager

It's not Nigerian, therefore, it's not an authenticate document! :lol:

I sometimes enjoy reading these and wishing that it was real!

I just got an invite to the Illuminati :)

Now that's cool! :D

I am special... but I think the all might Illuminati would have a better email than that :)

Can't compete. Spam filter too good. :music_whistling::D

Quick explanation for those interested: That's a rough logfile analysis from my email server. It just searches for the strings in the first column and then counts how often they appear in that file. Logfiles are rotated daily, this one reflects a 24 hour timespan from about a day ago.

And "status=sent" could mean both "sent from this server to another" and "sent to local delivery into POP3/IMAP account to be retrieved later".

I'm sure that of those 683 sent mails, some where Spam received despite all the filter rules. But as far as I remember, the Nigeria connection hasn't made it through the filters in a long while. :)
