Today I received another of this type of scam email. Please feel free to email the guy if you're interested! :
NAME -DR JAMES ODEG
)
BUSINESS PROPOSAL
My name is DR JAMES ODEG, a member of the Presidential Task Force on Oil Spillage Clean-up. Early last yearthere was a major oil spillage in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria which rendered over 70% of the communities homeless.The contract was handled by a foreign firm but because of the huge monetary profit we envisaged, we decided to over-invoice the contract
sum. Now the contract has been completed and the original contractor has since been paid,but the contract balance of US$31.50 million(THIRTY-ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS),which resulted from the over invoiced contract sum that has been left in a suspense account with the CENTRAL BANK of NIGERIA,is what me and my partners are planning to take out of the country for ourselves.The problem is as government officials,we are not suppose to own fat bank accounts,talk less of having foreign ones.To this end, we are soliciting your assistance as a foreign partner who can assist us and receive this amount into your account. We are ready to share this money with you on the basis of participation. We also have plans to invest part of this money in any viable business in your country under your care,as we are nearing our retirement age.
In any case, I received a reference of you/organization from the Nigeria Chambers of Commerce and Industry 'Foreign Trade Division' as a reputable organ that can assist us on this transaction. Please if you accept my proposal do not hesitate to send me a send me an e-mail so that I can provide you with the basic procedures for the release of the fund.
It does not matter whether you or your company does contract project of the nature described here, the assumption is that you won a major contract and subcontracted it to another company, more often thannot, big trading companies or individuals of unrelated field win major contracts here in Nigeria and subcontracts same to more specialized firms for execution.
BENEFIT: For providing the account where we shall remit this money, you will be entitled to 25% of the entire funds, 70% will be for me and my partners,while 5% has been set aside to cover any expenses that may
be incurred by both parties during this transaction, both local and international.Please I enjoin you to handle this transaction with utmost degree of maturity and confidentiality because I am still in active government service with the"NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION". If I receive your response on time, this whole transaction could be accomplished within the shortest possible time based on your interest and determination,since the money is already in transit.
Awaiting your urgent response and thanks for your anticipated co operation
Yours faithfully,
DR JAMES ODEG

- ********0
Chocolate - any advice on how to deal with them! It scares me! You seem to have the right attitude! he heehe ehe he bump!
- grayhood0
i got a great "strange" email from a girl about 3 years ago, its a hilarious critique of me as a person, hold on a second let me see if i can find it.....
- stewart0
well, i received another strange one yesterday.
from a guy who saw my sisters' website http://www.kulsdom.com
"I like your website very much, and YOU too. Regards, Eddy"
hahaha! i share that domain with my sister. Got that email probably from someone from NT who saw my email address?
- grayhood0
ok here it is
to protect the names of the innocent i will only refer to her as "psycho thesaurus girl™" i think you will se why.....
"1. You blurt out the most scathing remarks about people, to their face, with no regard for anything but you own amusement.
2. You don't try to use any amount of tact to take the razor sharp serrated edges off of any subject, comment, and/or opinion--no matter how thin the ice may be. Truth in it's most forthcoming, non-sugar coated form is best, but you can arrange words so they aren't quite as face slapping.
3. I've said this before. You're so obscure, vague, and ambiguous. You seem to assume that people always know things without you having to spell it out. Sometimes you have to no matter how obvious it is to you and no matter what it's pertaining to.
**I know #2 and #3 seem to be conflicting in a sense so I'll explain. Basically, the only time you're not vague and whatnot is when you're:
A. ripping into some sorry soul for blurting out something you find completely idiotic.
B. bitching at or to someone--most likely to them and About them.
C. when someone is blind enough to ask your opinion on something they did, said, or is wearing. Therefore they have given you acres of room to work with.4. You seem to loath almost everyone. It's almost like people, ESPECIALLY girls, have to walk your own homemade, personal gantlet to prove themselves worthy. You test people down to their bone marrow.
5. You see yourself on a higher level than most. Not just some, but almost ALL. You think you're so perfect. Should I be honored you put up with me or suspicious?
6. It is a very rare occassion to hear you shell out a compliment to someone. And when you do it's usually when someone does something so ridiculous, making themselves or another person look like an ass, that you find it cool.
7. Last, but not least...You have to be one of the most complicated/allusive people I've ever met. Your moods are so perplexing to me. I have less moods than you do. I find it unfathomable."-psycho thesaurus girl™

seems to me like you're a normal human being! What perfect traits to posses! I wish I was more like you!
Women are blind man!!!

yeah grayhood... i won't repost them entirely here, i don't want him to start emailing me again but the gist of it was like this..
[cut and paste from actual email]
I must actually apologise to you. When I wrote my commentary on you I based
my assumptions off your picture and didn't read your [cry] dumb jocks...
rant [/cry]. I based my assumptions off of your picture not your "rant?" and
after read it to my surprise I was right. What a sad story. At first I
laughed, not because I'm a dumb jock, in fact I don't usually like jocks
even yet people would assume that I am one due to appearance. I laughed
because you were trying to pull that I'm untouchable shit and I'm more than
happy to put you back into your place. The internet is just an extension of
the real world so don't feel bad.Thank you for your concern over me.
Perhaps you should review your rant and reconsider your stance as to weather
or not you are truly cocky (your cocky american buddy) like those guys in
the gym or just a fraud trying to be that cocky guy who was cocky with you.
Know yourself; don't let this keyboard confuse you.[/cut and paste]
and that was after i basically told him to quit emailing me...
