Another variation on this:
Maybe 5 years ago I got a letter in the mail proposing
the same thing. Out of curiosity, I sent a reply
to them via fax. There were a few fax exchanges
that followed the scenerio as mentioned below.
I did not get involved any further.
On a sadder note, some people I heard got pulled into the scam
to the point where they went to Nigeria in person. I understand
from newspaper reports they were held hostage and a ransom
was demanded. In these cases the hostages were killed
even after payment was made.
Beware...
Beware?
Excuse me for being so callously blunt but anyone falling for this and
then getting killed as a result should be a candidate for the Darwin
Awards.
