I got this email today. I am going to be fixed for the rest of my life!

Dear Friend,

My name is Gyan Wiredu, a Ghanian Citizen. I'm the only son of late Kwadwo
Baah Wiredu, a politician and a Chartered Accountant.

I am seeking for your partnership and assistance to actualize my dream for
profitable investment in your Country.

I'm in possession of US$12.500.000.00 (Twelve Million Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars) my father left behind in a bank before his
death.

I need your help to transfer the money for profitable investment in your
Country where taxation will not take much toll on the money.


Best regards,

Gyan Wiredu

Woo hoo! anybody want in?

Purty sure its a trick. Ghana's currency unit is the "Ghanian cedi".

Easy way to remember this is when you make this kind of deal, you Ghana cedi money disappear.

Now as to my Nigerian Royal ancestors....

Look out Hillary, even she can't match that giveaway. Possibly going to contest her at the Dem convention.

This scam has been around for a decade or two. Some people have fallen victim to it.

Tom, sorry to break it to you, but this opportunity is gone. I have become the sole agent for Mr. Wiredu. It cost me a few pennies, but oh man, it's going to be worth it.

Tom, according to Brandon at the Windows Help Center your computer is sending warning messages to Microsoft AND the IRS wants you to put your 5K dollar delinquent tax bill on a credit card. PM for details.

But if you don't want to pay the full delinquent tax I can help you negotiate a reduced amount. Due to the sensitive nature of our agreement with the IRS we can only deal with cash payments. Further details will be transmitted via a private email server.

When I get a couple e-mails like this, I just forward them to each other and let them work it out.
