    got this email just a few mins ago, so if anyone else gets it im sure its a scam

    Investment and Cooperation Opportunity.

    The purpose of this letter is to introduce ourselves to you, we are a West
    African Business Consultancy, offering business advisor services in the
    region, we are not a very big company, but when suddenly confronted with the
    task of investing funds in your country exceeding our capacity we decided to
    seek a partner, because we have never done business in your country.

    We are brokering an Investment deal in your country on behalf of a client of
    our firm. This deal will involve the eventual investment of USD 25 M.(Twenty
    Five Million Dollars) in your country.

    We are by this letter offering you our partnership, so as to allow us have you
    as representative and manager of invested funds in your country. Since we can
    not determine if this email is still functional and also your willingness we
    have kept this proposal brief.

    If you are interested in this offer of partnership, please respond and give us
    your full contact details (as preferred for this interaction) plus
    company profile and in response we will send you an elaborate proposal and
    details of this offer.

    wow! how unusual! you got a 419/generic spam email!
    It seems so unlikely that anyone would ever get one of these.
    I mean only several million have been sent every day since the 1990's.

    Just did an e-mail check and I had everything from hardening or lengthening my penis to cheap medication and loan approvals, and lots more besides. I use www.0spam.com which keeps it away from my actual Inbox. Try it.

    African Business Consultancy meaning, we operate out of an old shed in the middle of some dusty sh!thole, offering business advisor services in the
    region, we are not a very big company because its just me and my 6 wives, but when suddenly confronted with the
    task of investing funds in your country exceeding our capacity we decided to
    seek a partner to rip off, because we have never done business in your country. please disregard how we always say 'your country' and never actually call your country by name, its cause we blanket bomb loads of countries with this sh!t!

    Five Million Dollars) in your country. And if you actually believe this bollocks you deserver to be scammed

    not determine if this email is still functional and also your willingness we
    have kept this proposal brief. Cause f*ck, if we had to chat to all the people were scamming today we'd be here all god damn day!

    Yes. Indeed there's a script somewhere that keeps trying to Spam boards with new threads along those lines. It gets stomped on of course.
