("REMITTANCE OF $25.8 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS") (CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE").

I am Dr Raji Fazal from Burkina Faso. I want to seek your assistance after my discovery during auditing in my bank as am the manager of Bill and Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department of BANK OF AFRICA, (B.O.A.). In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of USD$25.8 million US dollars in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in plane Crash 2003.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided as the head of my department to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and i don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills.

You should not nurse any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the smooth transfer of this funds and your acceptance is what will crown this effort.

We will conclude this operation within 21 banking days based on the amount of cooperation you will contribute. The fund will be shared in the ratio of 40% will be for you as a foreign partner, 60% will be for me.

I used to have a hobby of baiting these guys. It was great fun. Just act "thick" after 9 emails asking the same thing in a different way, you can almost hear their heads hitting their keyboards. But never ever a) use anything that can be traced to you and b) "educate" them. De-education is the key.......

I've just got a similar e-mail from a rich Russian. The contact address is in Sheffield. Are there many multi millionaires there?

Often letters from the same area, R.B.S. coop, via email. Beware.
