    The same goes for propellor planes. Many people think the propellors are there to make the plane fly but their only use is to cool down the cockit. You can cleary observe the pilots sweating when the propellors stop to rotate!

    Dear Weaselly Bastards,

    My name is Owen Clarke, I am the credit manager in a bank here in the West Africa. If you're reading this, I'm dead.

    I am contacting you of a business transfer, of a huge sum of money from my deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything has been well taken care off, and all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.To ease your apprehension, I got your contact from the British chambers of commerce and industry, foreign trade division.

    Since my death, none of my next-of-kin are alive to make claims for my money as my heir, because they all died in some freak accidents(May their souls rest in peace). I cannot release the funds from my account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in the banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, I hereby seek your permission to have you stand as my next of kin, as all documentations will be carefully worked out by a lawyer for the funds Twenty- Eight million, Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars (US$28,500,000.00) in a domiciliary account to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin. Because after four years the money will be called back to the bank treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the directors of the bank. so it is on this note i decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank directors to shar! e thi! s money amongst themselves at the end of the year. It may interest you to know that I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries.

    Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.

    1.A Beneficiary name.In order for me to prepare the PAPER WORK for transfer of the funds in your name.

    2.Details particulars of your contact address.

    3. Direct Telephone and fax numbers;.For our personal contact.

    I shall be compensating you with 25% of the total sum on final conclusion of this project for your assistance, as I have also thought of doling out 5% to charity organisation from your locality based on your recommendation another 5% for the services of the lawyer while the balance 65% shall be for me for investment purposes in your country as i cannot bring back this cash to my country. If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me immediately.

    Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you by informing you of this transaction from my bank as I will advise you to kindly desist from responding at all if you do NOT intend to render any assistance. Endeavour to respond via my secured email address: owencclarke@mjonesfamily.org

    Thanks and best regards, OWEN CLARKE
