Tales from the inbox . . .
Dear Sir,

I am aware that this mail is coming to you surprisingly, but first all; I will like to introduce myself to you. I am Kojo Annan the first son of Kofi Annan the sec-general of United Nation and a citizen of Federal Republic of Ghana, currently residing in Lagos Nigeria.
"Not Egypt. My father is an Egyptian, but I'm not."
Currently, the chairman of KOJO AND SONS LTD. Also the vice president of Anan Empire Ghana.
". . . not to be confused with my father's company, Anan Empire Turtle Bay LLC."
I am mailing you to seek for your co-operation in an on-going investigation that involves me and my company in the distribution of food and oil in Iraq.

My father and I have been alleged to be involved in the toxic supply of food and oil product to Iraq, this allegation has been move by the US senate committee against my father and I.
"It was not toxic, I tell you! It was perfectly good, edible money Saddam paid us! All lies!"
This issue is currently in news with the CNN London.
"You can ask Eason Jordan if you don't believe me!"
I will want you to know that this contract of food and oil with contract number KJA/NIG/UN-58565/0, was done through Nigerian government, under United Nations Agency and they are yet to pay me.
"Filthy cheapskate Nigerians! I send Mrs. Abacha my bank account number like she asks, but does she call? Does she write? She takes me for granted, she does! How can a woman treat her man like that? I have bought all this herbal Viagra at the online pharmacy, just for her."
But due to the on-going problem I will like you to accept my partnership offer and put in claim for the money as a sister company to KOJO AND SONS LTD, the amount involve is US$450 million.

All arrangement to secure a lawyer who will work with you for the claim has been concluded, I will provide you with the lawyer's full information as soon as I receive a positive response from you, the lawyer will assist you procure all the necessary documents you need for this claim and he will be your local representative to make sure he monitor the tr ansactions to positive conclusion.
"You can trust him. He is a lawyer."
As soon as the money is paid to you by the United Nation Agency in Nigeria I will forward my bank account in London where you will transfer my share. The sharing ratio is 60% for me, 25% for you and 15% for any expenses which you may incure during the claim.

Please i will want you to keep this very secrete
Eeeeewww! Keep your secretions to yourself, thank you!
and confidential. If you do not have interest in this or find it uncomfortable for you, please do away with it and keep you lips close.
I never leave home without my lips.
As the United Nation Agency here in Nigeria is ready to release the fund the claimer, through Nigerian Apex Bank.

Thank you and God bless you.

KOJO ANNAN

#7  He's having computer problems. He doesn't have one any more and has to post from the library where he is subjected to time limits and mean glares from the Head Librarian.

By the way, when I saw the title I was expecting to see a little maze--the kind you see on a paper placemat at a restaurant that gives the kids something to do while you are waiting for the pizza to come.

#3  I've been getting a lot of these types from Nigeria and Sierra Leone. I send them all a variation of one of Muck4doo's letters. I've actually gotten a couple of replies telling me they don't understand my letter but they would still like my help. If I sent them my account information they couldn't do much with it 'cause there's not much money in it. Here's the start of one letter and Muck's response. I hope he doesn't mind but this is too good not to share.
