well this is what it basically says:

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sir, With all my pleasure , it comes to my mind to contact you this morning due to a personal matter l have in COTE D`IVOIRE which requires an urgent attention, l will be grateful if you can help. There was a deposit of US$11millions in a bank CREDIT UNION BANK (CUB) - ABIDJAN COTE D`ABIDJAN in was made by my late husband Mr. Mobutu Sese Seko, before his death. Before his sudden death in exile, he gave me all the details and informed me that he deposited these money in the bank with a foreign name and advised me to wait for sometime before seeking for the transfer of the money to a foriegn.

Though he made the deposit with a foreign name because of the safety of the money, and advised me that l should source for a trusted foreign partner to help me stand as the beneficiary to this money for easier transfer of the money to a foriegn account from the bank to overseas also invest it in profitable ventures abroad. Due to my position and condition here, l sent my son to Abidjan to locate the bank and seek for the transfer of this money so that we can be able to launch the investment we have proposed in Europe.

My son were duly advised by the bank by the director of the bank to source for a trusted foreign business partner whose bank account will be used to transfer the money to a foriegn account. Please sir, l am willing to offer you with US$2million if you could be GODLY to assist in getting this fund transferred from CREDIT UNION BANK in ABIDJAN to your local account in your country. My son is already in Abidjan with all the details regarding the deposit. I will give you the whole contact and full information immediately l hear from you. Expecting to hear from you soonest. Thanks and God bless. Mrs. Sania Mobutu Sese Seko (for the family).

This is a scam going around. Its happening a lot now a days. You get in touch with them, and if you believe them you give them your account number and everything for them to get it. Then they clear your bank account and run. I read this in the newspaper. So whoever gets this email or something similar to this, dont believe it.

I send them my bank account number. They had to remove my $725.11 to make room for all the money they are going to dump into there. Should be any day now! :)

Reply with a throw-away email and make then think your interested and give them the run-around. Should be fun.
I saw a website where someone did this and put it all on the website. It was pretty funny. He even concinced the con-artist that he would fly to his country so he could pay him. Then he found a webcam in Turkey (or somewhere) and arranged for the person to meet him there. So he could pay the "dues". He even got pictures of the criminal standing there.

Hehe ... I saw the one on SomethingAwful, but LowTax didn't take it quite THAT far! :D

I'm all for the scamming for scammers. Turnabout is fair play! :)
