Just had the following email

Dear American: I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude. I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.

Yeah, if you take just 10% you will be up $80,000,000,000.
Well worth the trouble!

Brother - I would dearly like to help but I don't trust the banking system of your Great Republic.

Most sincerely, Alhaji Alddisha, Lagos
