In all seriousness, let this email be a lesson to everyone. It’s complete BS and could very well ruin your life and reputation if you provide the information these idiots ask for.

Notice the “copyright.” Wow, that makes it quite official, now doesn’t it? Copyright ©….no, not really. I just did it.
I really wonder if these emails prove to be lucrative to the clever goons sending them. I guess if you get one sucker with a big enough bank account, you don’t have to worry about sending any more out, right?

i was watching something on oprah about scams coming out of africa. it was basically like this where people would get screwed out of thousands of dollars (cuz they would wire the $ over there to africa, thinking that they would get it back and then some). well, apparently after the people found out they were getting screwed and knew it was a scam and everything, then the “governement” from the country that the scam was coming from would contact the person that was scammed and say “we apologize and on behalf of our country, accept this apology.” and they would be promising to send money to make up for it, if the person would do this and this and this first…and it would be another scam and they would get screwed again even more hard core. can you believe it!
LOL! Unbelievable, yet so believable!
