Apparently, some does (http://www.ebolamonkeyman.com/)!

If you have high speed internet, cook up an 18 MB TIF image file in Photoshop or somesuch and attach that and send it to her.

. .These frauds' use of the internet began only about 10 years ago but the scam itself is older. A friend tells me he received one of these letters in hard copy by snail mail in the mid 1980's.

When I got my first copy of these letters I took it for a money-laundering scheme, but the nearest FBI office told me it is actually an advance-fee scheme. Fortunately I learned years ago to beware of people who hook my greed.

Dear Friend,

It is from the midst of suffering and little hope of seeing the next day that I am sending this to you from the refugee camp of Morroco. It has been 3yrs now that I have been here with my coleaques trying to cross the deadly border to Spain. Each time we try to cross, we are shot at by the Spanish border police.

It is even worse inside the Morroco town where they send us back to the desert of Algeria to die. It is not my fault that I am suffering like this.

My mission to Spain is one that I have to fulfill if I am lucky to make it. My name is Richard Mendoza from Burundi. I left my country on foot because of the impossiblity to get a travelling document. It has been 5yrs since I left with 4 of my friends, two have died on the way. It took me 1yr to be able to leave the bush to town, which can be done once in two months after a lot of sacrifices. One has to sacrifice his food or work for the masters to be allowed to enter the town.

I do not know the possibility of me making it to Spain under the tight and strict security at the border. I am however contacting you to help me safeguard what I am suffering to acheive there.

My mother left Burundi when I was draged to the bloody conflict as a child soldier, my father was killed in the conflict. My mother could not do anything about it, but always prayed for me to survive. Through one of the peace keeping men, she was able to move to South Africa where she died after a couple of months later.

My father deposited the sum of $12.5M in one security house in Spain. During the conflict, he was in charge of the purchase of arms from some countries in Europe who were supplying the oposition arms.

I have the codes for the deposit and all my efforts to reach the security company are in vain because of where I am at the moment.

I want you to help me go there, secure the deposit, if I still make it there, we will discuss on what to do. If I do not make it, you will have to use the deposit to invest in your country. All I will want is that my family name be part of whatever investment you will make with it.

The security company does not know that the box contains cash because my father deposited it as family treasures. If you cannot handle this, please do not bother engaging in it. If you can, please contact the security company because I do not know my faith from now. It is more than 6yrs that we have not contacted them because of the conflict but I beleive that they will understand.

The security company has a copy of the deposit certificate because we lost our own copy in the conflict.

As soon as you open contact with the security company, they will give you a copy of the deposit certificate. The agreement with my father is that they will also give you a power of attorney from their lawyer.

The only way you can open a contact with them is to write them and quote the security code, they will understand what it means.

Please try to communicate me on the progress.

Wow! We're all rich. I just received one today. 14.5 milion. Shall we get together and celebrate?

I think it is WRONG to say that ALL these MONEY OFFERS are Bogus, but it is possibly true that the BAIT is the MILLIONS ( which may be non-existant) and it is the "pop-up" fees of all types that are the BEGGERS income . The Jne 1, Washington Post had an interesting article that talks about the "quick widthdrawal of the incoming fund and then the Bank finds out the fund is not covered by the initiating Bank so then You the account holder has to pay back the money that was taken off Your account. The penalty is usually that the Bank closes Your account when a "Non-Paid" item goes through them and is therefor consider the item to be Counterfeit - I call it BOGUS.

Now Bank Wire Transfer may be safer ?? and sending money into Your account by using Your Visa card numbers I am still wondering about - is it as safe???. The goal is to deal with only REAL money and what the Bank wants - people that YOU KNOW and can be sure that they are for real.

I have a rough statement I use I call the REQUIREMENTS:

Requirements: I accept the Offer with the restrictions listed below with gratitude

!. I need a time restriction so that the project does not go on and on.

What do You say about One Month max.

2.I can only accept the money as a DONATION without any Fees, or money

coming from this end at all.

3.I will only accept the fund without any obligations at all and I am

4.My personal information and resume address and so forth are given

below under my signature.

5.My bank information is attached herewith and I suggest You do not

re-transmit it back and forth.

6.I will be glad to provide the account number when You are ready to

Bank Transfer the Funds to my Bank

7.I will keep Your information a secret and honor the agreements made

between us.

8.The reason I give you these particulars and respond to Your Offer

is that I have a real need for funds and for a long time my operating

funds for my two non-profit corporations have been near zero.

I now need a few addition "Requirements"

(1) personal photo of Yourself,

(2) map with Your location of Country, City and Street Address.

(3) Your personal Bio and Resume, in all that I can make sure that "You" are not a "highschool student" playing a game or some one from say Nigeria is playing that 914 Game etc.

(4) A Web site of "important" biographical information is not acceptable either since anyone can use those things for "their" referense.

Caution: Please review carefully what I have specified here and let me know at once what and if You can handle the No-fee clause.

Alert:Some of these OFFERS come in here very often and I answer them all the same. Over here in the USA these OFFERS are all considered SCAM and FRAUD and not REAL so I guess You know that also.

But just in case You are on-the level and are doing this fully legally

and with good intent, I am much for it and I express my appreciation

if You can handle the transfer quickly within the rules listed here.

You had me going there for a moment. I was ready to send you my life savings (nothing).

Blaise has no millions? Hrumpff, I guess we're not related after all.

Hmmmmm I hear Paolo is loaded...

Oh? Blaise is poor - again?? Paolo is loaded? With what this time??? Great idea - whats say we tell the guy sending the "money" to make a free of charge deposit in advance to Paolo's account, and then we close the account after the "money" is in there???

Oh, better yet, better don't tell Paolo about it, he may try and withdraw the "money" before we decide who will cash out at the bank...ooops..forgot 'bout that. :-\

aaahhhhh, is there a lawyer round abouts here????? I tink I put my foot in the middle of something real sticky here...oooo dat stinks!!
