Strangest Valentine's Day Gifts?
BladeMelbourne asks: "On Valentine's Day my partner gave me (among other things), two comet goldfish, to put in my tank with my existing comet. Where she got the idea to give fish for Valentines day is still a mystery. I'm curious to know if any Slashdot readers gave/received any unusual gifts - and whether the gift was appreciated or not?"
I got a blow job. How many of you can say you've had one of those before?
I am sure you will be surprise to read this from me having not met me before. I decided to contact you via e-mail after concluding that there is no other way to reach you as I got your contact through an international internet business directory in Abuja-Nigeria. I am the Deputy Director of Approvals and Appraisals OF THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF AVIATION. I have been priviledged to head the Contract Awarding Committee of THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF AVIATION (FMA) for the past Six(6) years now.
I am on a five months course here in Holland. Myself and my other colleagues have carefully mapped out the sum of Thirteen Million, Two Hundred And Sixty Thousand United States Dollars(US$13,260,000) only which was received from contracts and commissions we awarded to some foreign firms for supply and installation of Airport Equipment. With our position as Directors, we were able to ask the foreign firms to over invoice the contract by 10% to enable us get our money on request from the Central Bank of Nigeria. This idea came as a result of the fact that as Civil Servants here in Nigeria, we are not allowed to operate an offshore account. Therefore, we decided to look for a reliable and trustworthy partner to whom we can remit these funds into his private or company's account, hence my contacting you.
For the numerous assistance you are going to provide, you will be entitled to 35% of the total amount,60% will be for us while 5% has been set aside for expenses that will be incurred in the course of this transaction. To effectively and officially get these funds transferred into your personal or Company's account, would require the following;
1.Bank name and Address 2.Name of Beneficiary 3 Company Name and Address 4. Account Number. 5. Confidential Telephone and Fax number of Beneficiary.
In order to avoid delay, please get in touch with me immediately via my e-mail address for immediate action to commence and hopefully, we must get these funds into your account within a few working days. Please contact me immediately as we cannot afford to waste much time in this strictly risk free transaction.
We need to comply with the present democratic government in Nigeria that has instructed us to pay immediately all debts and outstanding payments of all foreign firms. While thanking you for your anticipated cooperation, I await your immediate response.
Regards, Minister William Okokobioko
