I know I will probably be scolded/spanked for such a long post, but I had to share this with you guys, in the hopes that you will laugh as hard as I did when I received it yesterday. Do people actually fall for this stuff? Maybe people can respond by sharing some "doozy" e-mail scams of their own.

MRS, SIFA MAHANYA KABILA,
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO.

DEAR FRIEND,

I am Mrs Sifa Mahanya Kabila the widow /second wife of the late
president of Democratic Republic of Congo, Laurent Desire Kabila who
was shot by his bodyguard on 16th January 2001.

Since the death of my husband and the inception of the new
administration headed by General Joseph Kabila the son of the first
wife, my family has been suffering severe humiliation of all sorts
Gen Joseph Kabila, with his new government has gone as far as to
frozen all bank account belonging to my husband and all
our properties are been confiscated by him.

My children and I are just lying low for now to let the situation
calm down Forseeing all the dangers ahead I deposited the sum of
US$28.000.000.00. (Twenty eight million united states dollars) as
consignment with a security company in Europe so that we can have
something to live on later in life.

All I want from you is your assistance to clear this consignment from
the security company in Europe since we cannot travel at this time as
our passport has been siezed, nor can we declare ownership of the
consignment because of our names. This means you will have to travel to
Europe to do this clearance We are keeping it low at this time in Congo, so that we
will be able to get this money to resolve our present predicament As
a result of this we need a foriegn partner in whose name we can
obtain all the necessary documents to make you the bonafide owner of
the consignment so that you can recieve and clear the consignment
into a bank account.

After the clearance of the consignment you will also assist us in
investing the money in real estate and buying a family home in the
UK, I know we have not met each other but I am very confident that we
will be able to establish the necessary trust that we need to execute
this project, considering the fact that it will be of mutual benefit
to you and my family.

You should indicate your interest in assisting me so that I can link
you up with my first son, Johnson Boy Kabila who will give all the
details and the documents you need to ensure that this project is
achieved. He will also give you the name of the security company
their contact and the country in Europe If you are ready to assist us
your share will be 30% of the US$28.000.000.00.

Please send an email to me with your telephone and fax numbers so
that my son will be able to get accross to you for the commencement
of the project.

Reply immedaitely this is rather urgent.

Regards,

Mrs Sifa Mahanya Kabila.

AAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA HAHAHA AHAHAHAHA HHHAHHAAHHA AHAHAHA HAHAHAHA !!! HAHAHA AHAHHAA HAHAHAHAHAHH!!!!


LOL....!

Ouch.... That hurt.....!

I take it that you are not willing to be Mrs. SIFA MAHANYA KABILA's agent in this matter.:giddy:

Well, maybe a better idea would be to write down my name, address, current account number and credit card details and just post them on a warez search engine page thing....

And then sit down and wait for your "share" of the 28 Million.


P.S. I just "Googled" SIFA MAHANYA KABILA, and I found this:

Tanko Zuba Web Site

I rarely bother to even read any chain letters that people send me. They are all worthless and just waste time. This is quite funny, and YES I am sure there are quite a few people that will donate money.

Ths just goes to show you the intelligence of the general public.

I don't know about "Democratic Republic of Congo" currency, but in the United States "US$28.000.000.00." means twenty eight bucks. Everything after the first decimal is meaningless.

Annoyingly enough I get an email just like that almost every day now. That's even with my email set to not download 7 delete anything over 30k.
