Dear Friend,
I am Princess linda Balongun, the daughter of the former Director of
Mining
and Diamond in Sierra Leone. Presently I have a large quantity of gold
and
diamond's with me, which my late father succeeded to divert from the
government
reserve that they usually sell to purchase ammunitions and other war
equipments.

May I use this medium to express my delight in kind of merchandise I
have to sell to you. The internet directory provided me with your email
address and I decided to confide in you, in this very good business
proposal.
I am seeking now for a buyer for the gold and the diamond. Kindly
confirm
your interest and your readiness to come to Africa to help me take out
this
said merchandises to your country.

You shouldn?t worry about the cost of the product , because I don?t
request
a cent from you for the total cost of the gold and diamond in AFRICA.
The help I need from your end is to help me accomplish all the normal
formalities
as: taxes, duties etc..... to take this product out safely from the
neighbouring
country where I am residing now.

You will be entitled to 15% of the total cost of the gold and
diamond
after the success of our business , if you can assist me. Iam looking
forward to your positive response on this serious and urgent affair
within
the shortest possible time. This is risk free business thanks.

Yours faithfully
Princess Linda Balongun.

I just got this in my e-mailbox!




What a great business deal!!!!

I get stuff like that all the time.

The sad thing is I'd recommend you put a disclaimer on your thread to shield yourself from any lawsuits.

ALOT of stupid poeple are out there and may not realize that is sarcasm.

Dear Friend,

Date:29-11-2004

This mail may not be surprising to you if you have been following current events in the international media with reference to the Middle East and Palestine in particular.

I am Mrs. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of YASSER ARAFAT, the Palestinian leader who died recently in Paris. Since his death and even prior to the announcement, I have been thrown into a state of antagonism, confusion, humiliation, frustration and hopelessness by the present leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization {PLO} and the new Prime Minister. I have even been subjected to physical and psychological torture. As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with everybody in the country at the moment.

You must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the discovery of some fund in my husband secret bank account and companies and the allegations of some huge sums of money deposited by my husband in my name of which I have refuses to disclose or give up to the corrupt Palestine Government. In fact the total sum allegedly discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of about $4.0 Billion Dollars. And they are not relenting on their effort to make me poor for life. As you know, in the Muslem world women take a backrole in the affairs of the state, hence my desire for a foreign assistance. For more on the media report you can log onto:

I have deposited the sum of USD$20,000,000 {Twenty million Dollars USD} with a security firm abroad,with whose name is withheld for now until we have open communication. I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your bank account for safe keeping and any Investment opportunity. This arrangement is known to you and my personal Attorney. He will be dealing with you directly for security reasons as the case may be. His name is Jacque Laurent. He is based in London. For further inquiry please contact him on ;

Email: jacque_laurent@lawyer.com

He shall provide you with all his contact informations,to ease communications between you and him, he shall guide you through to the end of this transactions and that is, if you are willing to render the urgent assistance that i need at this piont in time.

In view of the above, if you are willing to assist for our mutual benefits, we will have to negotiate on your Percentage share of the USD$20,000,000 that will be kept in your position for a while and invested in your name for my trust pending when my Daughter, Zahwa, will come off age and take full responsibility of her Family Estate/inheritance.

Please note that this is a golden opportunity that comes once in life time and more so, if you are honest, I am going to entrust more funds in your care as this is one of the legacy we keep for our children.

In case you don't accept please do not let me out to the security and international media as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith. Please expedite action.

Yours sincerely,

Suha Arafat

Queen of Zambia and Linda Wassername pfft!

A few days after his death, Yassah Arrafat's widow wrote a touching and, may I say, considering the circumstances, surprisingly upbeat letter to me asking for help in disposing of some of her husband's millions.

All I had to do was provide her with my bank account details and, in return, I'd receive a share of $20 million.

Now, I'm not one to boast, but it does appear that I have been chosen for this task because I have exceptional finance skills that my own government (indeed my own bank) have not yet recognised. To put her trust in me with her husband's money, especially at a time when my own bank and credit card companies keep writing me letters wanting their money back, I think shows remarkable trust on her part.

And, get this! ... I've never even met or spoken to her before

What a lady!

The Queen of Zambia only offered me "untold prosperity and riches" in her e-mail to me. Princess Linda's talking diamands and gold! I think this sounds like a far more sound arrangement, if you ask me.
