Stupid Punts!

"Paul" wrote to me today, asking for help.

He has, so he says, spent the last 10 days in jail without food and water.

Why?

He is in possession of a "silver box" containing diamonds and gold, of course, which used to belong to his dead mother.

Needless to say, some very unpleasant people are after it; he wants me to help him take it out of the country, and sell the contents.

Are people really so stupid that they fall for this garbage?

Dear Sir,
I want to use this media to ask for your aid in this transaction which
I am sure will be of benefit to both you and I but let me apologize for
contacting here without your approval or consent,it is because I need someone
to help me out of my situation.

My name is Paul 22 years of age from Zaire a country in the East region
of Africa.My father Sopo Priso was a multi-millionaire known in my country
and all over west Africa because of his business establishments in West
Africa.He died in July 2003 and left three wives and twenty three(23) children
behind.

I am his fourth child and my mother only had me for him.Due to our tradition,the
wealth has to be divided among his wives and children and this cause a lot
of problem in the family.

My mother died because of the problem because she is the only educated wife
of my father and the other wives thought that it was my mother who drew
up the will for my father.On the 20th September last year some armed men
came to my mother's house and started firing gun shots which killed my mother
and ran away and up till this moment the government refused to do anything
about it.

After my mother's death,while cleaning the house,I discovered a silver box
in my mother's room that is cleverly hidden and I sought after it and have
it removed.I was shocked to discover that the box was full of Diamond and
a small par of it is some gold.

I was confused because I didn't know what to do with it,I carried the box
and deposited it in a security company in katanga and have it declared it
as family valuables.

but the family are using their influence on me to collect the Dimond because
they claimed they know that my mother has in her position some money belonging
to my father.The first son of the family is a politician and he is trying
to use his influence to threaten me.I have locked up in jail for ten(10)
days without food in the prison and now that I have just been released I
have decided to look for partner abroad who will help me to transfer the
Diamond.

This is why I have sent this mail to you without anticipation for your permit,
I am ready to offer or pay you for your assistance after geting out the
box out of my country and sell everything,which you will render for me,I
am doing this because I know I am going to take your precious time in doing
this transaction and I want you to please do understand me.

Waiting for your response and your decision.

Thanks and best regards,


Paul
