________________________________________
FROM MRS.GRACE KUBAYI
222 RIVONIA RD SANTON CITY
JOHANNESBURG,SOUTH AFRICA.

ATN:MD/C.E.O

Dear sir



You might be surprise to receive this letter from me since you don't
know me
personally. I am MRS.GRACE KUBAYI the wife of late MR MICHAEL KUBAYI
who
was murdered by the Zimbabwe war veterans and irate black people. I got
your
contact e-mail address through South Africa chamber of commerce and
industry. After due consideration of your profile,hence I decided to
write
to you. I write to solicit for your special assistance to my family
shattered by a tyrannical Government led by a dictator and his
(ZANU-PF)
ruling party. President Robert Mugabe. Because of land and farm land
crisis
in Zimbabwe the Government Secretly sponsored the war veterans and some
irate party members to disposed the land being occupied by the white
farmers. This action has led to killing of some members of opposition
party including my husband whodid not support this ill-fated action.

But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so
he
smuggled out the sum of US$25 million dollars(Twenty-five million
united
state dollars) to South Africa and deposited it in a Security Company
with
the intention of using it for the purchase of farm machinery and
chemicals
for agricultural purpose in South Africa and establishment of a new
farm in
Swaziland.

This money was deposited in a box as a germ stone to avoid much
demurrage in
the Security Company. On the 29 august 2001 the war eterans and
some
spotters of (ZANU-PF) ruling party trooped into our compaund and axed
my
husband to death and my second son of 22yrs. Since
then they have been terrorizing my son Antony but he managed to escape
to
neighbouring country South Africa as a political asylum seeker
(refugee).
His position in South Africa dose not permit him to open an account or
to
oparate any business. That is why I want this fund to be transferred in
your
account so that you will assist him to invest the money in your
country. I
must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free. If you
accept to
assist us, all I want from you is to arrange and come down to
Johannesburg
South Africa so that you can help him to open a non-resident bank
account in
your name which will aid us in transferring the money into your
nominating
account overseas. I have two option for you, firstly, you can choose to
have
certain percentage of the money for nominating your account in this
transaction or we can go into pertnership with you for the proper
profitabel investment of the money in your country whichever the option
you
want fell free to notify with him. He will then furnish you with every
detail you needed to know. We have also mapped out 5% of the total sum
for
any expenses that might be incurred during the time of this transction.

If you do not prefer a partnership, we are willing to give you 25% of
the
money while remaining 70% will remain for my family, if you are really
capable and willing to assist us please contact him immediately in
South
Africa with this e-mail that I used to sent this mail to you.

Finally please treat this mater as urgent as possible, I'm in dire him
to
leave that country soonest. Thanks for you're mutual co-operation. I
xpecting your soonest and urgent response.

Best Regards,

(MRS GRACE KUBAYI)

MY NAME IS KUMALA, I WILL GIVE YOU TREASURE IF YOU GIVE ME MONEY. EMAIL ME PLEASE. GOD BLESS YOU!

Pretty old... African fraud.

This guy actually plays along with the email scam... funny

I've been tempted to play along before, just to fuck with the con-man.

[Bitchin]

Well that's interesting justin.

[Goodfellow]

What's funny is all the scam e-mails that I got when I was trying to sell my bike.

HELLO SIR I IS INTRESTED IN "BIKE" THAT YOU PURCHASING ON WEMBSITES ASSNTANT OF ME WILL SEND 5000 IN MONEYS AND YOU CONTAC ASSNTANT AND SEND THE DIFFERENT IN MONEY.

the sentences didn't make any sense, and it was horrrrrrrrrrrrible english, and they say "we'll send a cheque for 5000, then you send back the difference of your bike" .. it's like uhh.. eat a dick and die plz

Hahaa I like the part near the end, where he tells the con-man he's going to meet him in person to give him the money:

I want to meet you outside the front of the Heritage Hotel at 11 AM on
Sunday (today). So that I can recognize you, please wear all yellow,
yellow pants and a yellow top. Also, please hop on one leg and wave
your arms around. I will be watching from a distance and as soon as I
see a person wearing all yellow and hopping, I will know it is you and
I will approach you.

Needless to say, he didn't hear from him again after that
