The truly amazing thing about these types of emails is that people actually fall for them...

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I´d love to have SAD DAM HUSSEIN DOLLARS,

[sonnyJ]

Sure sounds good. So whats the investment?

My friend was exchanging emails with this Nigerian guy for weeks. It turned out to be some fun too.

Topic remindes me that I was approached by this Nigerian or Kenian guy live in Bangkok about a year ago at a pool place on Sukhumvit. He was some old generals son and so on, had got a nice pile of his dad's money in Africa, he was ready to do whatever to get it out.. He also told me that his dad's men were after him.. Was too much for me to get involved for sure.

Well I was drunk and propably looked the same.
