I received this email tonight. It came with a Word attachment with a picture showing a chest of money. I thought it might be wise to pass on this possible scam. _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ __

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
Dear sir ,

My name is Danie Kenny, the elder son of Mr. John
Daniel of Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you
about where I got your contact address. I
got your address from the Ghana Chamber of
Commerce in Accra, Ghana.


During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe
from the supports of our President Robert Mugabe to
claim all the white-owned farms to his party members
and his followers, he ordered all white farmers to
surrender all their farms to his party members and
hisfollowers.
My father is one of the best farmers in our country
and because he did not support Mugabe's ideas,
Mugabe's supporters invaded my father's farm and
burnt everything in the farm, killing my father and
made away with a lot of items in my father's farm.

Before his death, my father had deposited with one of
the Security Company in Accra, Ghana the
sum of US$26. 5 Million (Twenty Six Million Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). After the
death of my father, we decided to move to the Ghana where he had deposited the money in
the Security Company as valuables.

So I decided to contact overseas firm and companies
that will assist me to move this money out of Ghana
because as asylum seekers we are not
allowed to operate any bank account within Ghana. We
have agreed to offer you 20% of the total
sum for your assistance, 5% will be mapped out
for any expenses that may be incurred in the course of
this transaction and 75% will be for me and my
family to invest in your country.

All I want you to do is to furnish me with your entire
personal phone and fax numbers for easy communication.
You can contact me on my email address. Note that this
transaction is absolutely confidential.


Thanks and God bless. Regards,

daniel kenny

Roland, I used to get similar letters in the mail when I managed the Napa store here. I just gave them to our county attorney, more for his info than anything else. It was kind of cool to be referred to as "the president" or "CEO" of the auto parts store! Regards,
Curt

The only people who fall for this, are stupid greedy people. "It is difficult to cheat an honest man."

I JUST deleted two similar letters from my email. One had a neat new twist to it,,,they said they were going to send the proposal by regular mail, but were afraid with the anthrax scare, that it wouldn't reach me. Yeah, right. Really personal letters,,,Dear Sir,,,, Compliments,,,and some don't even fill in the blank after "Dear"!! Best response is "delete". Bob in NY

I recieved that last summer. Believe it or not but that is one of the ways the Tali Ban raises money. I read that in the on line news.
