Stupid Punts!

I received a mail today with the title "Congratulations you have won the Canadian Lottery".

Imagine my disappointment when I opened it to read the following pile of garbage!

+ADw-div+AD4APA-pre+AD4- Assistance with investment I write to inform you of my desire to acquire estates or land properties in your country on behalf of the outgoing Director of Denel, South Africa's arms parastatal. (Check www.denel.co.za +ACY-lt+ADsAPA-a href+AD0AIg-javascript:ol('http://www.denel.co.za')+ADsAIgA+-http://www.denel.co.za+ADw-/a+AD4AJg-gt+ADs- for more information) Considering his very strategic and influential position, he wants the transaction to be strictly confidential as much as possible. He further wants his identity to remain undisclosed at least for now, until the completion of transaction. Hence our desire to have an overseas agent. I have therefore been directed to inquire if you would agree to act as our overseas agent in order to actualize this transaction. Denel paid the money in advance as a commitment fee for a deal that never happened. The arms parastatal had hoped to sell weapons worth billions to the undemocratic Saudi regime. The highly unusual payment was approved in 1996 by the Denel board, then headed by Absa deputy chairperson Dave Brink. For this, you shall be considered to have executed a contract for the Ministry of Mining and Energy in South Africa for which payment should be effected to you by Ministry, The contract sum of which shall run into US+ACQ-16.6Million (Sixteen Million, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars) of which your share shall be 20+ACU- if you agree to be our overseas agent. As soon as payment is effected, and the amount mentioned above is successfully transferred into your account, we intend to use our own share in acquiring some estates and setting up trust accounts abroad. For this too you shall also serve as our agent. In the light of the above, I would like you to forward to me the following information's: 1. Your name Company name and address if any. 2. Your personal fax number. 3. Your personal telephone number for easy communication. You are requested to communicate your acceptance of this proposal through this email. After which we shall discuss in details the modalities for seeing this transaction through. Your quick response will be highly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation of your cooperation. Yours faithfully, Mr. Trevor Tutu TEL: 82-047-5205 +ADw-/pre+AD4APA-/div+AD4-
