Financial advice
- 14 November 2011 21:32136853i must be getting a bit cynical but i have doubts about the veracity of this e mail i have just received.
i look forward to members advising me on whether or not i should proceed with this.
Dear Friend,
This message might meet you in utmost surprise, however,it's just my urgent need for foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction. I am a banker by profession from Burkina faso in west Africa and currently holding the post of Director Auditing and Accounting unit of the bank.I have the opportunity of transfering the left over funds ($15.5 million) of one of my bank clients who died along with his entire family on december 2003 in a plane crash. Hence,i am inviting you for a business deal where by this money can be shared between us in the ratio of 60/40 and 60 for me while 40 is for you.
If you agree to my business proposal.further details of the transfer will be forwarded to you as soon as i receive your return mail. have a great day. Yours Faithfully MR.JOHN DOUGLAS NB, MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THIS TRANSACTION AS YOUR TOP SECRECT AND MAKE IT CONFIDENTIAL TILL WE RECEIVES THE FUND INTO THE ACCOUNT THAT YOU WILL PROVIDE TO THE BANK. DONT DISCLOSE IT TO ANY BODY IN YOUR COUNTRY "PLEASE", BECAUSE THE SECRECY OF THIS TRANSACTION IS AS WELL AS THE SUCCESS OF IT.
BEST REGARDS
MR.JOHN DOUGLAS. - 14 November 2011 21:36136855Howard , if you dont want this golden oppertunity I would be delighted to take advantage of it myself

- 14 November 2011 21:41136857What are you doing Howard!!!
By putting this on the forum you are jeopardising the success of this transaction!
It sounds amazing, lucky you. Perhaps push for a better ratio split...6:4 maybe, even 3:2, rather than this 60:40 (seems a little tight)
Rather sad about the plane crash, what are the chances of that! - 14 November 2011 21:45136860you're right darren, me and my big mouth.
maybe i should consult blue barry about the eventual returns, must be up for negotiation?
must be genuine why would he lie? - 14 November 2011 21:56136865I love the way that the last part to 'keep it a secret' he has decided to shout.
- 14 November 2011 22:40136883A 'friend' in need...is a friend indeed.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 15 November 2011 00:39136894My guess is, they would require you to send a down payment to them to start the process. Once you did this, you would probably get a request for a second down payment. At the latest then you'd never hear from them again.
But whoever fell for it could never contact the Police without getting themselves into trouble for participating in an intended illegal transaction in the first place. Although, that said, it would still be better to inform the Police.
Whoever should get involved in such a thing becomes an accomplice. It wouldn't even come under entrapment.
However I'm surprised, Howard, that you only now got your first such offer. They must be becoming desperate
