Dear American:
I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.
I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.
I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.
This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.
Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.
Yours Faithfully Minister of Treasury PaulsonRazor wrote:Killing people is good therapy.

transaction., And I wish to invest in Manufacturing
and real estate management in your country.
I have Nine million Two hundred thousand united states dollars.USD ($9.200, 000) to invest in your country.
And I will require your assistance in helping me stand as my late father's foreign business partner who he deposited the consignment on his behalf into the security, the consignment was deposited in Africa and was letter lifted to Europe where the consignment is now under the care of the security company diplomat in Europe. I will be gladly to give you 25% of the total sum for your assistance.

To quote SNL: You know that house you couldn't afford to pay for. You're paying for it. Suffers from the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of George W. Bush

You're paying for it.
Correction: We're paying for it. Someone that couldn't afford their mortgage payments is not likely someone contributing a large share to that bailout. HolyJaw wrote:In the end, everything Endyss said.

I've gotten tons of emails like that, different, but in the same idea range. i remember one that caught my eye, that a person with my last name was on a buisness trip in Africa, died in a car wreck, left something like 275,000dollars in an account in Africa, and that I was the only person he found almost fell for it because I never heard of anyone else in the world having the last name Araya, but I knew it was a scam. Gotta be careful these days, but 97.9% of everything on the internet is complete bull.
