MR SALIHU AHMED
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK(ADB)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.


Dear Friend
(TOP SECRET)

I am Mr Salihu Ahmed the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Africa Development Bank, (ADB) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on 16th febuary 1998 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his accountwith this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was U.S $9.2M (NINE million TWO hundred Thousand United States dollars).

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.

This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 45% of the total sum as gratification, while 55% will be for me. Please, you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.

All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you

I look forward to receive your mail

Yours faithfully,

Mr Salihu Ahmed

We recently about 4 months ago moved our daughter from rec. softball were she was just about top of the line as far as talent goes to select softball. The team has won 6 tournaments in a row. We moved our daughter because she really loves to play hard and rec. just wasn't cutting it anymore for her. We wanted her to be around better players instead of worse, thinking it would make her an even better player. This team that she is on their are alot of really great players, but a majority of the team is kin somehow. It's like they will put in the family members before my daugter even though she may be better than them. It also seems she is losing some of her fielding skills because they only practice her in the outfield catching pop flys, which she can already do 95% of the time. It's fun to be part of a winning team, but do we stick it out hoping that eventually they will notice that my daughter has talent just as much as most of the others. I am not sure what to do?

I moved in this past Feb; the seller told us that if the septic field was still wet in the summer that he would fix it? So the contract states that if it is broken, then he covers the cost of getting it fixed. So, we called a septic fixer guy, but, now we can't find or locate the seller? Should we just cut our losses and pay for it ourselves, or how could I locate him if I don't have his phone, address, ect?

"Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss

This is my kind of town, chicago is
My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of people too
People who smile at you

And each time I roam, chicago is
Calling me home, chicago is
Why I just brim like a clown
Its my kind of town

My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has, all that jazz

And each time I leave, chicago is
Tuggin my sleeve, chicago is
The wrigley building, chicago is
The union stockyard, chicago is
One town that wont let you down
Its my kind of town"

Just can't get Frank Sinatra's song out of my head (Chicago My Kind Of Town).

And the sad part is, I have never been to Chicago, or the US.

I've already done some research and from what I have found, taking things like fish oil, algae and st. johns wort are supposed to help. I would really appreciate it though if someone could give me some more information on these or suggest something else without getting to scientific on me. Thanks.

A policeman pulls over a driver for swerving in and out of
lanes on the highway. He tells the guy to blow a breath into
a breathalyzer.


''I can't do that, officer.''


''Why not?''


''Because I'm an asthmatic. I could get an
asthma attack if I blow into that tube.''


''Okay, we'll just get a urine sample down
at the station.''


''Can't do that either, officer.''



''Why not?''


''Because I'm a diabetic. I could get low
blood sugar if I pee in a cup.''


''Alright, we could get a blood sample.''



''Can't do that either, officer.''



''Why not?''


''Because I'm a hemophiliac. If I give blood
I could die.''


''Fine then, just walk this white line.''



''Can't do that either, officer.''



''Why not?''


''Because I'm drunk.''
