#3 For a minute I misunderstood this news as that the men were convicted in Nigeria itself. I thought I had tardis traveled into an alternate universe until I tracked back the link. Looks like I still remain in a reality where Bud Lite can laser etch the face of a tranny on millions of beer cans without the knowledge of top executives and Nigeria has no working justice system. I was hoping for an upgrade.

Dear Sir/Madam,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am Mr Naphtali Gilead, the first son of
Johnson Gilead, the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact
through network online hence decided to write you.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of USD14.5 million (Fourteen million five hundred
thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in
a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land
Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that I and my family fled Zimbabwe to South Africa for fear of our lives.
After which I traveled to the Spain and I am currently staying in the Spain where I am seeking political asylum and more so have decided
to transfer my fatherâ€™s money to a more reliable foreign account. Since the law of Spain prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of spain. As the eldest son of my father I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future. Both countries have similar political history. As a business man, I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in
his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make arrangements with the security company to clear the Consignment (funds) But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment.
I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country.
Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction.
If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 85% will be for my investment in your
country. Contact me through my confidential email address: naphtali.gilead@virgin.net
I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction

Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU

Yours Faithfully,
Naphtali Gilead

#6 If three Nigerians can face 20-year jail terms, then I wonder what Sam Bankman-~~Fraud~~Fried will face (if he even sees the inside of a courtroom).
