like im going to do this

email i was just sent :




HELLO,
I work as an accountant with The Standard Chartered
Bank (UK) Overseas Office. While conducting internal
audit on a recent trip to the Bank offices in
Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, an African nation, I came across a
dormant account with a hefty balance. The said balance
was opened a few decades ago. After diligent research,
it turns out that the owner of the account is deceased
and the beneficiary under his will is a bankrupt
charity. If no person comes forward to make a claim
for the money, it would revert back to the State and
the bank would just conveniently convert it to its
coffers.
All attempts to get a living relative have not been
successful and by April nothing could be done anymore
in this regards as it would have been over 18 years of
no one coming forward. All the money in the account
£14,182,000.00 (Fourteen million, Two Hundred Thousand
British Pounds) which is approximately $21,818,462.00
(Twenty-one Million, Eight hundred and Eighteen
Thousand Four hundred and Sixty-two US Dollars) would
revert to the State.
I have spoken at great lengths with the solicitor, who
drafted the will, and the Executor of the Deceased’s
Estate. We are looking for someone whose company/name
or rather someone with a bank account that can receive
this money. You would be made the "beneficiary" under
the terms of the will. After all the necessary
documentations, attestations and legal formalities,
that sum would be paid to you as the entitled
beneficiary and you in turn would take your agreed
percentage and assign the rest to us.
Due to the nature of the transaction and the large sum
involved, you will be required to sign a separate
agreement with us, basically to the effect that you
would only take your agreed share, which would be 30%
and transfer the balance (after taxes and expenses) to
us upon receipt of the said funds. Needless to say, in
the course of this transaction, everything must be
done in absolute trust and confidentiality.
I can be reached at pwallace1600@yahoo.com
if I do not hear from you within the week, I would
have to look for someone else as time is of the
essence if we are to make a success of this.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Mr Peter Wallace

some little kids got on the bus the other day and started asking everyone on it if they'd care to buy a candy bar.  then they asked for "a donation" when EVERYBODY said no.  they never elaborated on what we would donate to.  it was weird.  just a bunch of little kids and a bunch more chocolate... no parents, no explanation.

this is only partially related to the topic, but i dont care.

My sister met her (now husband) on a christian dating web page, but she paid to be a member so that may weed out some of the freaks.
