Hi...I'm a friendly Nigerian Banker...
Ok....Another threshold has been crossed. Another boundary been broken. Another Item of today's culture has seriously pissed me off. Have you gotten Emails that contains something like this?
THE PROPOSITION:
A foreigner, late Mr Grahams Peterson, an Oil
Merchant/Contractor with the Federal Govenment of
Nigeria, until his death three years ago in a ghastly
auto crash, banked with us here at International Trust
Bank Plc, Lagos, and had a closing balance of
USD$21.5M ( Twenty-One Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars only) which the bank now
unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his
available foreign next of kin or alternatively be
donated to a discredited trust fund for arms and
ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria.
Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the Bank to
get in touch with any of the Peterson family or
relatives but all have proved to no avail. It is
because of the perceived possibility of not going to
be able to locate any of late Mr Grahams Peterson's
next of kin (he had no known wife and children) that
the management under the influence of our Chairman,
Board of Directors, Retired Major General Kalu Uke
Kalu, that an arrangement for the fund to be declared
"UNCLAIMABLE" and then be subsequently donated to the
Trust Fund for Arms and Ammunition which will further
enhance the course of war in Africa and the world in
general.
It's a scam. Of cours anyone with half a brain could figure that out. No one would be willing to split any of this "money" with you. If you follow the instructions that come later...the person at the other end wants your bank account number to "wire you the money." Of course that's the exact opposite of what happens. Your bank account very quickly would be drained of any and all funds. It just really pisses me off the depths to which society has willingly lowered themselves to.
