present administration.I have lost confidence with
anybody within my country.I got your contacts through
personal research,and had to reach you through this
medium. I will give you more details when you reply.
Due to security network placed on my daily affairs I
cant visit the embassy so that is why I have contacted
you. My husband deposited $12.6million dollars with a
security firm abroad whose name is witheld for now
till we communicate. I will be happy if you can
receive this funds for safe keeping and I assure you a
very good percent of this fund I will instruct my son
to contact you so please feel free to comunicate with
my son. I await your urgent response,
Hajia Mariam.

I found a website where some guy in the UK played along with this. The story consists of e-mails back and forth between him and this Miriam person, and a lot of it is very funny. He gets her to send a photograph of herself, and then she asks for a copy of his passport. He sends her a fake passport with Bill Murray's picture on it. Toward the end of the story, she asks for $7700. He sends a request to her asking for $200 'trust' money, and the game is over. Here's alink--it is pretty funny.

Thanks, Stone Man - that was fun. What's sad is that there are probably people who actually send out the money to these people.

Great find, Stone Man! I just couldn't stop laughing! This is hilarious!

Anyone on this forum wants to be millionaire?

Here is another one that's been going around:

We're looking for 100 people to make rich

Between them, Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen have 58 New York Times Best Sellers, including the runaway blockbusters "Chicken Soup for the Soul", "Nothing Down", and "Creating Wealth"

Are these two guys nuts?!

They must be! To prove that their new book, "The One Minute Millionaire" works, they're going to select only 100 highly motivated people in each city to create unlimited wealth themselves.

These 2 famous Millionaire-Makers want to coach you!
