??? Is this a joke thread?

If not then this is why Nigerians keep sending these messages as they know some people are really this dumb.

I received this email (thought about posting under Hot Deals). What do you guys think?

From: Moses Odiaka [mosesadiaha@go.com]
To: mosesadiaha@go.com
Subject: CONFIDENTIAL PROPOSAL

My name is Mr.Moses Odiaka.I work in the credit and accounts department of
Union Bank of NigeriaPlc,Lagos, Nigeria. I write you in respect of a
foreign customer with a Domicilliary account. His name is Engineer Manfred
Becker. He was among those who died in a plane crash here in Nigeria
during the reign of late General Sani Abacha.

Since the demise of this our customer, Engineer Manfred Becker, who was an
oil merchant/contractor, I have kept a close watch of the deposit records
and accounts and since then nobody has come to claim the money in this a/c
as next of kin to the late Engineer. He had only $18.5mllion in his a/c
and the a/c is coded. It is only an insider that could produce the code or
password of the deposit particulars. As it stands now,there is nobody in
that position to produce the needed information other than my very self
considering my position in the bank.

Based on the reason that nobody has come forward to claim the deposit as
next of kin, I hereby ask for your co operation in using your name as the
next of kin to the deceased to send these funds out to a foreign offshore
bank a/c for mutual sharing between myself and you. At this point I am the
only one with the information because I have removed the deposit file from
the safe.By so doing, what is required is to send an aplication laying
claims of the deposit on your name as next of kin to the late Engineer. I
will need your full name and address telephone/fax number,company or
residential, also your bank name and account,where the money will be
transfer into.

Finally i want you to understand that the request for a foreigner as the
next of kin is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
and for that reason alone a local cannot represent as next of kin. When
you contact me, then we shall discuss on how the money will be split
between us and others we shall also speak in details.I am currently in
europe for a six months course,you can reach me on this number for further
discussion 0031 623 866 723.Kindly send your reply to my private email
address stated below mosesodig1@zwallet.com or mosesodiaka1@yahoo.com

Trusting to hear from you,

I remain Respectfully yours,

Mr Moses Odiaka.

you guys think i am an idiot but no - i dont think so...I asked for cash first and ship with insurance.
And I have not shipped anything yet...I am asking because this is the first time that this kind of offer is made to me.

That letter that was posted is 'obviously' a scam.

I mean does it mean that everyone from nigeria is a crook? I would not think so...that 'everyone' is.

Good idea of shipping to where this person is and they can ship it to nigeria themselves.

I need some advice. I posted an iBook in Craigslist and I got an offer from someone.
This someone says to be a US marine stationed in the middle east.
I request contact info in the US and I was given an address and told I could inquiry in the Post office if I wanted.

This person wants the laptop shipped to her sister in Nigeria for her birthday.

I have told her I will not ship without insurance and the payment has to be in cash only and it has to clear before I ship.
I have also told her the item is as is and I can provide proof that the goods are in good condition via picture or video.

Anyone can offer suggestions regarding this deal.
I am cautious particularly because it is Nigeria. I think I have done everything right but I need to hear opinions.

Thanks!
