Stupid Punts!

Dr Jack writes to me today, offering me a scam that is "100% legal".

Oh dear, Dr Jack appears to have forgotten to include the "il" bit in front of the word "legal".

How very remiss of him!

Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor,leaving the excess balance unclaimed. Since the present elected Government is determined to pay foreigncontractors all debts owed, so as to maintain good relationship withforeign governments and non-government agencies, we included our bills forapprovals with the Department of Finance and the South Africa Reserve Bank(SARB).

We are seeking your assistance to front as beneficiary of the unclaimedfunds, since we are not allowed to operate foreign accounts details andchange of beneficiary information upon application for claim to reflectpayment and approvals will be secured on behalf of you/your Company.

It does not matter whether you/your Companydoes contract projects, as a transfer of powers will be secured infavor of you/your Company. Also, your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successfulexecution of this transaction.

I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will notdisappoint us. Thanks for your co-operation.
