These email scams keep getting better and better...

Greetings! (URGENT&CONFIDENTAIL)


Attention: Dear Sir/Madam,

You may be surprised to receive this strange letter from me. I am Mrs.Juliet
mukhenze, the wife of Mr. John mukhenze of Zimbabwe.I got your address from an
internet web site. After due consideration from your profile, I became aware
and assured of your credibility to help me.

My husband was among the rich white farmers in Zimbabwe who were murdered in
cold blood by the agent of the ruling government of president Robert Mugabe
because my husband was against the method adopted by the government on new
land reform act that wholly affected the white farmers in Zimbabwe. Before the
Invasion, my husband took me to South Aferica as if he foresaw the looming
danger in Zimbabwe and deposited US$11,400,000.00 (Eleven million, four hundred
thousand US dollars) with a security and financial company in South Africa as a
Family Valuables. Please verify the information I have given you on this web
site :http://www.newzimbabwe.com/.This money was for buying farm lands in
Lesotho, Swaziland, and also machinery for the farm.

Heads of government from western world, especially Britain and The U.S.A, have
voiced their condemnation against Mugabe's new land reform act. It is
against this background that my only son Rufus mukhenze has mandated me to seek
foreign assistance as my late Husband indicated that the consignment is for
onward shippement to his foriegn partner to for keeping purposes.

Presently, I am residing in South Africa as an asylum seeker as from the
deposit certificate it is clearlyindicated that the consignment is meant for
onward shippment to my late husband foriegn partner which i want to present you
to the security company.

Kindly send me the below information.
*Your full names and address.
*Your country of origin and date of birth.
*Your occupation
*Your private phone number.

Please note that this transaction is 100% risk free, and for your effort, I am
prepared to offer you 35% of the total sum when the consignment has been
shipped to you in your country.

If this proposal is accepted by you, please reply urgently through my Email
address and get in touch with my only son Mr. Rufus mukhenze by phone
+27739290990 so that he will then furnish you with more details. I will
appreciate if you maintain the confidentiality of this matter because of the
happenings in my country - Zimbabwe.

Please Contact me with the below phone and email contact:

Yours sincerely
Mrs. Juliet mukhenze.
Direct Phone line:+27739290990

LOL If she has given my profile "due consideration" to the tune of 4 million bucks then whe is the message addressed to Sir/Madam?

It's inconceivable to me that people could fall for any of these things but they've been around nearly ten years now so somebody must still be biting.

I kind of want to go get a disposable phone and call that number just out of morbid curiosity or to fuck with their heads a little.
