Hehehehe got this in the post today havnt had one of these for a while

FROM: MR JOHN PUJEH
PHONE: +229-981587 (BENIN REPUBLIC)
EMAIL: johnpujeh8@yahoo.com

I am MR JOHN PUJEH from SIERRA LEONE, a Country in
WEST AFRICA. My father is MR MOMOH PUJEH, former
MINISTER of TRANSPORT and COMMUNICATIONS and one time
DEPUTY FINANCE MINISTER in Sierra Leone. My father and
mother were arrested by the government of my Country
and put in detention since 28/09/2001. My parents were
accused of keeping large quantity of DIAMONDS in the
house, and also privately selling large quantity of
DIAMONDS abroad. You can verify this from SIERRA
LEONE EMBASSY in your country.

I escaped to a hide out in BENIN REPUBLIC, another
Country in West African with 2 Trunk boxes containing
about Forty Six Million U.S. dollars (US$46,000,000.00).
I kept the boxes in a TRUST COMPANY in COTONOU Capital
of BENIN REPUBLIC. For my safety and that of the boxes,
i did not let the company know that the boxes contain
money.I told them that the boxes contain documents.

I cannot move about freely now. I need Your help
urgently for both SAFE KEEPING and INVESTING of this
money in your country. You are one of the three email
contacts given to me by a Cyber Cafe' operator on my
request for a foreign contact. She did not tell me
your name or country of origin. Though I did not tell
her why I needed the contact of any foreigner.

Because of the urgent and confidential nature of this
business, you are advised to keep everything secret for
now. if you are interested in doing this business with me,
kindly reply immediately on my email Address for more
explanations. When replying, include your safe and private
telephone numbers for easy communications.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.

Yours faithfully,
MR JOHN PUJEHjpujea

I know this is the Humour board and hopefully everyone spotted the above is an 'advance fee fraud', but please be aware that many people are ripped off for anything from tens of thousands to millions of pounds in such schemes. Usually something goes wrong at the last minute and the fraudster asks you to send them money to cover fees, bribes, etc.

Separately, blood diamonds (ordinary diamonds paid for in other peoples' blood) are a severe problem in Angola and various countries in West Africa and are being used to finance at least 3 wars.
