    {URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL}
    (RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 152,000.000.00 USD}
    {ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS)

    Dear sir,

    We want to transfer to overseas ($ 152,000.000.00 USD)
    One hundred and Fifty two million United States
    Dollars) from a Bank in Africa, I want to ask you to
    quietly look for a reliable and honest person who
    will be capable and fit to provide either an existing
    bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c
    immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c
    can serve to receive this money, as long as you will
    remain honest to me till the end for this important
    business trusting in you and believing in God that
    you will never let me down either now or in future.

    I am Mr, Teddy Fenner,the Auditor General of a bank in
    Africa, during the course of our auditing I
    discovered a floating fund in an account opened in
    the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated
    on this account again, after going through some old
    files in the records I discovered that the owner of
    the account died without a [heir] hence the money
    is floating and if I do not remit this money out
    urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. the owner
    of this account is Mr. Duncan Harkinson, a
    foreigner, and a sailor, and he died, since 1993.
    and no other person knows about this account or any
    thing concerning it, the account has no other
    beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well
    that Duncan Harkinson until his death was the manager
    Duncan Coy.(pty). SA.

    We will start the first transfer with fifty two
    million [$52,000.000] upon successful transaction
    without any disappoint from your side, we shall
    re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest
    amount to your account, the amount involved is (USD
    152M) One hundred and Fifty two million United States
    Dollars, only I want to first transfer $52,000.000
    [fifty two million United States Dollar from this
    money into a safe foreigners account abroad before
    the rest, but I don't know any foreigner, I am only
    contacting you as a foreigner because this money can
    not be approved to a local person here, without valid
    international foreign passport, but can only be
    approved to any foreigner with valid international
    passport or drivers license and foreign a/c because
    the money is in us dollars and the former owner of
    the a/c Mr. Duncan Harkinson is a foreigner too,
    [and the money can only be approved into a foreign
    a/c.

    However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind
    us together I got your contact address from the
    Girl who operates computer, I am revealing this to
    you with believe in God that you will never let me
    down in this business, you are the first and the only
    person that I am contacting for this business, so
    please reply urgently so that I will inform you the
    next step to take urgently. Send also your private
    telephone and fax number including the full details of
    the account to be used for the deposit.

    I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and
    to sign a binding agreement that will bind us
    together before transferring the money to any account
    of your choice where the fund will be safe.
    Before we fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing
    and investments.

    I need your full co-operation to make this work fine
    because the management is ready to approve this
    payment to any foreigner who has correct information
    of this account, which I will give to you, upon your
    positive response and once I am convinced that you are
    capable and will meet up with instruction of a key
    bank official who is deeply involved with me in this
    business.

    I need your strong assurance that you will never,
    never let me down.
    With my influence and the position of the bank
    official we can transfer this money to any foreigner's
    reliable account which you can provide with assurance
    that this money will be intact pending our physical
    arrival in your country for sharing. The bank
    official will destroy all documents of transaction
    immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to
    any place and to build confidence you can come
    immediately to discuss with me face to face after
    which I will make this remittance in your presence and
    three of us will fly to your country at least two
    days ahead of the money going into the
    account.

    I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately
    I hear from you that you are ready to act and receive
    this fund in your account. I will use my position and
    influence to obtain all legal approvals for
    onward transfer of this money to your account with
    appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries
    and foreign exchange departments.

    At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
    35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5%
    will be for expenses both parties might have incurred
    during the process of transferring.

    I look forward to your earliest reply through my
    email.

    Yours,

    Teddy Fenner.

          There have been a few victims in this area. Usually elderly and trusting, financially desperate, maybe not completely in control of their mental faculties. The perps keep the sucker on the hook by milking them for a few hundred here, a few thousand there, for "transfer fees."

          When the victims finally swallow their pride and report it, or their caregivers or kids report it for them, they are told politely that their money is gone and nothing can be done to retrieve it across international borders, because by then the perps have moved on and the trail is too cold to track. That is usually punishment enough for any "illegality" of their actions.

            ...it's just unbelievable. This scam has been going around for at least twenty years and people still fall for it. Amazing...
            How can you possibly take anything seriously?
            Who cares?

                      I know it's a song.. an extremely annoying and nonsensical song.. and musically it occupies the same level of taste as any of those sung by purple dinosaurs.

                      When I want to lighten my spirit, I listen to Beethoven..

                        ...Beethoven was a manic-depressive, which enabled his genius between between heavy and light.

                        Try a little Prokofieff or Smetana for a change...

                          If these composers soothe your soul, then you too have shown your true colors..

                            ...then go for Mozart's Flute and Harp Concerto in C major, K299, who cares? Listen to what you want.

                            Hagedorn, loosely translated would be thorn of the rose bush. So far you show lots of thorns and very few roses. It's your life.
