Well with an offer like that what could possibly go wrong.

Seriously though i find these nigerian prince cons to be very amusing i mean do they really expect people to fall for it?

I totally can not believe why people have the gall to send these random emails to people in the belief that someone will fall for this. Mind you some people are really that desperate in this country that they will try anything to get money, especially of that amount. Could be a great plot for a book? (A scammed relative driven to suicide - a vengeful son/daughter to deal out justice). Keep up the great work Stephen, you have reignited my love of reading. Nightfall was mega - finished in three days flat!
