I thought I'd join in the fun and scam a scammer... this time one from Ghana
Is this good enough to hook the scammer and make him think I'll be successfully scammed?
I mentioned a financial advisor who I'm keeping this a secret from so that later when he wants $$$ from me to finish the transaction with him, I'll be unable to comply - without letting my advisor in on the secret :)
Perhaps I'll send my advisor to Africa to meet him in person and finish this transaction for me at some later point. I think that later, I'll also tell him a Urologist - that way I have extra avenues toward humor

anyway...

Dear Dr Johnson
As I near my retirement (3 years 2 months 4 days, and counting!) I've been questioning whether I have enough funds in my account to last me through my final years (I'm in excellent health, even jogging in at least 2 marathons a year for the past 45 years - my doctor told me that I may easily see my 100th birthday) Throughout my life, my financial advisors told me to plan for 15 - 20 years of retirement. According to my doctor, they seem to have well underestimated the amount of money I'll need to happily live out my years as my doctor is indicated 30 or more years.

Thus, this comes as a great surprise to me, and one which makes me think I can realize my retirement dreams of joining the senior PGA tour (I golf ever Wednesday and Saturday), plus have enough funds left over to complete my lifelong goal of catching every game species of fish from each country in the world. (only 52 more countries to go) as well as hunt every big game animal in the world. I've already hunted every big game animal in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, and have all of Africa left (which represents a significant amount of species left to accomplish my goal as I'm sure you're aware. Perhaps later you could help me contact the officials in your country to negotiate prices with a hunting safari.)

Anyway, I keep getting onto tangents as I am so excited. I didn't think I'd ever have a chance to complete my goals during my time on earth. Back to the subject on hand:

Please advise me with more information. I only have 3 years (and 2 months) within which to complete this transaction, but I'd prefer to wrap up this financial deal sooner as I've been working with my financial advisors a lot lately. I wish to keep this deal a secret from them until I've completed this transaction. They may think something is wrong if I don't work on my plans with them for a significant amount of time.

Sincerely,
Dr. Alberto Pizza, phd, M.D.

Here's the original.... same as all the other nigerian scams...

FROM Dr Johnson Mayaki.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
ORGANISATION UNION SECURITY
BANK ACCRA GHANA.


Dear,Dr Pizza

I am Dr Johnson Mayaki the director in charge of
auditing and accounting section of Organisation Union
Security Bank ACCRA
GHANA in West Africa with due respect and regard.

I have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us
at the end of the transaction.
During my investigation and auditing in this bank,my
department came across a very huge sum of money
belonging to a
deceased person who died on november 1997 in a plane
crash and the fund has been dormant in his account
with this Bank
without any claim of the fund in our custody either
from his family or relation before our discovery to
this development.

Although personally,I keep this information secret
within myself to enable the whole plans and idea be
profitable and successful during the time of
execution. The said amount was us$14M (fourteen
million united states dollars).

As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive
information through the business directory at chamber
of commerce and
Industry here in ACCRA GHANA where I was seaching for
a good relaible contact to do the business with.I was
elated the time I
saw your address to propose the business to you.

Meanwhile,all the whole arrangement to put claim over
this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the
deceased,get the required
approval and transfer this money to a foreign account
has been put in place and directives and needed
information will be
relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest
and willingness to assist me and also benefit your
self to this great
business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because
of my position in this country as a civil servant,I am
not allowed to
operate a foreign account and would eventually raise
an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer
because I work in this
bank.This is the actual reason why it will require a
second party or fellow who will forward claims as the
next of kin with affidavit
of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a
foreign account where he will need the money to be
re-transferred into on his
request as it may be after due verification and
clarification by the correspondent branch of the
bank,where the whole money will
be remitted from to your own designation bank account.


I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is
100% risk free.

On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be
entitled to 30% of the total sum as
gratification,while 10% will be set
aside to take care of expenses that may arise during
the time of transfer and also telephone bills,while
60% will be for me.
Please,be adviced to keep top secret as I am still in
service and intend to retire from service after I
conclude this deal with you.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this
bank until you confirm the money in your account.and
ask me to come down
to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund
according to percentages previously indicated and
further investment,either
in your country or any country you advice me to invest
in.

All other necessary information will be sent to you
when I hear from you.

I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible
stating your wish in this deal.

Best Regard,

Dr Johnson Mayaki.
