It's not the first time I get these freaking stupid emails from some idiots who think they will find bigger idiots than themselves, but since I had pretty bad week, I wanted to have some entertainment out of this.

So, I replied to the email saying how awesome it is and how I can get my money.

The idiot on the other end couldn't believe he finally found a bigger idiot than himself.Of course I got a reply within a few hours with all instructions how I should send them all my info, passport copy, bank account number and all the other good stuff. Long email with all instructions how basically hand all your life savings on a platter to some bum sitting somewhere in Africa. Please note that he says that this is no illegal action and it's not breaking any law in Burkina Faso. Freaking hilarious. Yeah, maybe because they don't have any laws. LOL


"Thanks for your mail which have been noted. In view of this, I quite admire your sincere over this transaction, however, is just to make you truly understand why I contact you is because the statistic of the transaction required a foreigner hence Mr. John korovo is a foreigner too.
This is fact that i had to contact you via your email as the urgency of the transaction is required. if not that i have to stay back here as to ensure an immediate and smooth transfer of this funds, but left for me alone, that will not be necessary, hence because of the policy of the bank that states that after five or six years of the demise of the deceased and his or her relative fails to appear, the funds is bound to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bills, and this is why i want you to act fast by complying with me.

This is the step as the next of kin so the bank can accord you the recognition and have the fund transferred into your account for us to share as I told you on percentage levels. Send the letter which i wil compose for you to the bank so that the bank will issue you application form to apply as the next of kin to the deceased customer.
As you have been informed my privous email, i will like you to understand that this transaction is 100% risk free transaction, there is no ilegal act or violeting any law here in Burkina Faso.
since the Late Mr. John korovo open this account, he did not decleard or mention any of his relation over this fund and from my letest investigation today, all his Next of kin who are imposition to claim this money died along with him at the crash living anybody behand.
So with this regard, your applying over this fund is unquestionable,and everything is going to be legal concepts of this bank and i am going to provide you all the legal document qualifying you as the real beneficiary /next of kin to the decease customer,
