Dear MISS AMINAT IBRAHIM you get the WDA this week.

Sigh... this grieves me to tell you my dear but you are just about the billionth person to send me this sorry tale so I thought just before I mark your mail as spam and send it to Abuse@alltheaddysused.com I would express my sincere condolences on your loss... but can I really believe that?

BEFORE HIS DEATH ON FEBUARY 12 2006 HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAS THE SUM OF TEN MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS.(USD$10 000 000) LEFT IN A SECURITY COMPANY IN A METTALIC TRUNK BOX, BUT THE SECURITY COMPANY DIDN'T KNOW THE CONTENT BECAUSE IT WAS REGISTERED AS FAMILY VALUABLES FOR SECURITY REASONS. HE ALSO HAND OVER THE DOCUMENTS TO ME.

I AM JUST 23YEARS OLD AND A UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE AND REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. NOW I WANT YOU TO ASSIST ME CLEAR THE CONSIGNMENT FROM THE CUSTODY OF THE SECURITY COMAPNY.

There's rarely a week goes by when I don't get one of these poorly written scam letters. I'm sick to bloody death of them really! One good thing tho' - I didn't know you could actually report such emails to yahoo (if they're sent on a yahoo account).

Thanks for dropping by Jin.
I do the abuse@spammersparadise.com thing regularly. This was the second time I got feedback though. :-)
