11. I wonder if I could interest him in this business opportunity

ATTN: Sir
PLEASE TREAT AS ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENTIAL
My name is John Dixon. I am one of the Senior Managers in the bank I work for (Union Bank, Nigeria PLC) and I work under the Director of Foreign Exchange Operations (International Remittance). I am contacting you presently because I need your urgent assistance in a business transaction that will be of immense benefit to both of us.
I have the immediate need to transfer some money that has long been declared "UNCLAIMED" by the chairman and some members of the board of directors of our bank. The money is the closing balance of one of our best customers ever, Late Engr.Robinson Edward, I was his personal account officer just before he died in the ADC plane crash of 1996 in Nigeria.
Engr. Robinson Edward an American citizen was a contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria, he supplied and installed equipment and his company Richland Contractors completed some of the best construction contracts in the country. His closing balance in the bank, Union Bank of Nigeria PLC (US$8.7Million) has been tagged unclaimed because no relative of Engr. Robinson has come forward to make a statement of claim.

We have no knowledge of a next of kin. At this point I trust you can picture what the situation is like. We have strong proof that the chairman and the board of directors will keep most of the money for themselves and donate the remainder to a discredited military trust here in Nigeria. This invariably is an attempt to infuse more money into the acquisition of military equipment (arms and ammunition) for use in an already prostrate Africa. This of course, is senseless, hence my mission.
My colleagues and my self have made several attempts at locating persons that could be remotely related to Engr. Robinson and we have been doing this for about 4 years now. Right now I am almost alone in this enterprise and I have presently decided on moving the money to a foreign account. I am hereby soliciting your assistance and I will be very grateful if you will be willing to help in this regard.

We have access to most of what it will take to transfer the money. The only thing we do not have is a safe account. We will provide you with answers to all the security questions, which you will have to answer to move the process towards completion. We will also provide you answers to questions that only a person related to him will know. You may however not need to make any appearance, every thing will be concluded on phone and fax between you and the bank for your participation you will get 25%, 5% has been earmarked for the expenses that may be incurred on both ends. 80% shall be for my colleague and I.
I make this proposal in trust and in good faith, therefore, if you are interested and you agree to assist me then contact me immediately you receive this email, there is a lot more to talk about. If you are not interested, then, please, do get rid of this email and please forgive me if this message has upset you in any way.

Thank you and best regards.

John Dixon

2. They are audio files

they are played with Windows Media Player or a Real Time player

3. They are audio files.

And yep you can save them to your hard drive. In order to play them back on your computer you need a program like WinAmp on Windows or iTunes on Mac.

You can get WinAmp from http://www.winamp.com

4. You save them to your hard drive and play them

with RealPlayer, WindowsMedia Player, Winamp, or QuickTime. They're mostly used for music, though.

8. If your computer is less than about 3 years old...

...it probably came with a built-in program that allows you to record these MP3s to CD. Then you can listen to them in your car, home or portable stereo.

You'll need blank CDs -- they're labeled "CD-R" -- which you can find in any store that sells music CDs or computer software. They're very inexpensive. (Stay away from CD-RWs, which won't play in most stereos. They're mainly used for backing up computer data.)

If you're using Windows, look through the programs on your start menu to find your CD recorder. My computer is three-and-a-half years old, and it came with CD recording capabilities.

9. No problem saving to HD-Make a folder and put them in

Either Winamp or iTunes for windows if you just want to listen to them.
I prefer itunes for ease of use and my eyesight, but either is fine.
(The buttons are too small in winamp on my laptop so I switched)

10. Jeez, how was the cave you were living in?

Just kidding. Don't worry I've read some of the other responses here and you're covered well. (Better than I could have done)

Good luck!

12. The Hair is getting greyer...and I'm getting overwhelmed by technology

My computer is OLDER than I am! It is an AMD 550......Will I be able to listen to the Mp3?
I'm sharing a cave with Bin Laden on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. Bushit is looking for me...Does that help?
