Dear Sir,

Goodday. Compliment of the season. It is my plaesure to request a flight training course for my son and cousin in your reputable Flight training school. I do believe you will give the maximum training to them on the following course: (Commercial Pilot Licence ).


Actually, my company is going into the Aviation industry in the year 2008, and i want my own child and cousin to handle the effective operation of this firm. So as a result, i want you to give me a full details of the course, price and duration of the course.


I would be more than happy to hearing from you, concerning your Commercial Pilot Licence course as soon as possible, as i want them to start the course not later than 2nd March, 2007.


Looking forward to your earliest reply.Thanks.



Best Regards,
Cole James.

...and the large investment he wants to make with my school if only I can give him bank information for the wire transfer.

I see no problem here.

Come up with some horrifically difficult training syllabus that the Mercury 7 guys couldn't pass even if they cheated on the exams. Create a price tag that has way too many numbers in it. Open an offshore bank account somewhere so they can't get your real information. If anything shows up in the account, cash it in.
Fair's fair.
 
I must be out of the loop. Who is Cole James?
 
Maybe we van get some backing form this guy and start an aviation school

Mr JOHNSON SIGANGA



URGENT MUTUAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL

I pray this proposal meet your kind cooperation. I am Mr.JOHNSON SIGANGA a
native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am an Executive Accountant with
the South Africa Department of Mining & Natural Resources. First and
foremost, I apologized using this medium to reach you for a
transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality
and prompt access reposed on this medium. Be informed that a member of the
South Africa Export Promotion Council (SEPC) who was at the Government
delegation to your country during a trade exhibition gave your enviable
credentials/particulars to me. I plea to seek a confidential co-operation
with you in the execution of the deal described Hereunder for the benefit of
all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the nature
of this transaction.

Within the Department of Mining & Natural Resources where I work as an
Executive Accountant and with the cooperation of two other top officials, we
have in our
possession as overdue payment bills totaling Forty - Five Million, Five
Hundred And Sixty Thousand U. S. Dollars ($45,560,000.) which we want to
transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign
company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable
foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More so, we are
handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service Code of
Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account hence your importance
in the whole transaction.

This amount $45.560m represents the balance of the total contract value
executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we
the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost
have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune
of the said amount which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by
Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide by
filing in an application through the Justice Ministry here in South Africa
for the transfer of rights and privileges of the former contractor to you.

I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that, should you be
willing to assist us in this transaction that is 100% hitch free, your share
of the sum will be 25% of the $45.560m, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, on your part
provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also your
area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of
this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will
not disappoint me. Endeavor to contact me immediately through my above Tel
number or my e-mail address, whether or not you are interested in this deal.
If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry
out this deal I want to assure you that my partners and myself are in a
position to make the payment of this claim possible provided you can give us
a very strong Assurance and guarantee that our share will be secured and
please remember to treat this as very confidential because, we will not
comprehend with any form of exposure as we are still in active Government
Service and remember once again that time is of the essence in this
business.

I await in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.And you can also reach
me with this private phone numbers
Yours faithfully,

Mr. JOHNSON SIGANGA

Well, Scott, clearly Mr. Siganga is on the up-and-up. He's planning to set aside a portion of the funds for taxes. Who plans on paying taxes in a real scam? No, I think that deal is 100% hitch free. The best part is that your
area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of
this transaction. What's not to like?

:rolleyes:
 
Re: WE NEED TO TALK
That got the big [DEL]! Didn't even open it. And this through an email system I praised for it's spamless environment.
Maybe I should rethink that.
 
Well, I guess i missed my chance to invest:

A public treasurer in the Michigan county of Alcona stands accused of embezzling tax payers out of more than $1.2m, at least part of which was used to cover costs he incurred falling for a Nigerian banking fraud.

I think we'll reach critical mass in a few years where every citizen of the U.S. that could fall for the scams falls for the scams and there's no more money to be plucked for shipment to Nigeria. Then we'll have some Nigerians buy Ford Motor Company or somesuch and not pay the employee withholding taxes.

I don't think that will stop the Nigerians from trying the old scam. If you think back to your early psych classes, the research with pigeons in Skinner Boxes showed that at some level, an infrequent and intermittent reward ingrains the most powerful repetitive behavior. Now I am not calling Nigerians intellectually equal to pigeons... just the guys trying the scam. They will keep at it for years.
