Kofi Tries to Move His Loot
2005-11-07
Found this in my inbox this morning:
I Dr. Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, would like to ask your partnership in reprofilling funds over $250m in excess, the funds would be coming via a string of selected banks in Europe and Asia. The Funds in question were generated by me during the oil for food program in Iraq. I have been getting scandals/controversy in this regards, you can read more on the links below-

World Socialist site; funny place for a Nigerian scammer to get their news!

Canada Free Press; appears to be conservative source; quotes Limbaugh!

You would be paid 5% as your management fee. Please do not write back directly to me via my official email address. All further correspondence should be sent to my private mail box [DELETED]. As soon as you indicate your interest I will give further details.

Remember to treat this mail and transaction as strictly confidential. I will await your urgent correspondence via my private mail box-
Dr.Kofi Annan.

#9  I've been getting ones about the Nigerian presidents wife who croaked in the Spanish hospital. Seems like she had a tidy bank account that can be mine for a nominal fee.

#4  No one is born a good citizen; no nation is born a democracy. Rather, both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts itself off from its youth severs its lifeline.

#3  Given that Kofi Inc. knows how to turn a profit, I feel safe sending him some cash to free up his assets.

#2  tu3031, remember how scientists investigating the Hindu cosmic model of an elephant on the back of a turtle etc. found it to be all wrong? It was turtles all the way down, right?

The same sort of thing applies here. It's scams, all the way down. There is nothing about Kofi which is not a scam.
