This recently came into my e-mail box and I thought I would share it with you.

To: Mr. Hauser, in Mytown, USA

From: Barrister Retard Annoying

Okey Dokey Law Firm and Legal Practitioners, Nigeria.

Greetings and love to you in the name of the most high God, from my beloved country Nigeria. I am sorry and I solicit your permission into your privacy. I am Barrister Retard Annoying, lawyer to the late Ibrahim Hauser, eldest son of the late former head of state of Nigeria late General InSane Guy.

My former client late Ibrahim Hauser died in plane crash in year 1994. Upon death of my former client and unknown to the family, he left behind much money. Very much money. The family is currently under house arrest and undergoing prosecution in hands of present administration as result of human rights violation and looting of country's treasury by the late head of state General InSane Guy. This happens every day in my beloved country.

Before the death of my client, he had deposited US $90,000,000.00 with a secret security firm in two trunk boxes in my name, and I am the only authority to this fund which he was to transfer out of the country few days after he died in plane crash. Get it?

For some amazing and completely ridiculous reason, I am going to share this fund with you: disbursed accordingly as follows: 25% for the recipient (you) from the total sum (US$90M). 7% set aside from the entire sum for expenses incurred by both parties in due course of executing transaction (home and abroad). And 68% for me! Yippee!

All you need do to receive your percentage is to give me, in no particular order:

(a) Your social security number, (4) all Your credit card numbers, (c) all Your bank numbers, (2) all Your passwords ever used everywhere, (g) Your mothers maiden name, (7) The key to Your front door (z) Your secret handshake, (6) Your decoder ring (y) Please name me as beneficiary on Your life insurance policy.

I think You will agree this is very little to do for a trusted friend like me.

Please note that you are to treat this with utmost confidentiality willing or not willing as You assist me in this transaction as nobody knows about this fund and I am still an active lawyer in this country. Did I mention also, how honest I am?

I await Your response as I know You will do the right thing. I can tell You are a good man and like most Americans, have no scruples whatsoever, are extremely ignorant, and want to be very wealthy. Therefore, Remain Blessed in the name of GOD.

Yours faithfully Barrister Retard Annoying
