The biggest, and most expensive con in the history of humankind

Here's an example of how concerned the Nigerians are about the American banking crisis:

FROM: THE DESK OF MR ISA HAMAD
DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF SECTION.
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO

Dear Mr. Pabst,

Your willingness to help secure the funds of your great-uncle Mumambi Pabst is greatly appreciated. We are close to final resolution. We have noted though that the bank you've wired funds from is Citi Bank, New York. My bankers are greatly worried about Citi's ability to cover further wire transfers. Counter party risk is of great concern to the Bank of Africa. We have already disallowed a sizable inheritance to a <strike>pigeon</strike> heir who tried to assist us with funds held at Indy Mac. If you could perhaps arrange further transfers to originate from a higher credit rated institution like Wells Fargo or Mellon Bank we can close our mutual transaction to your pleasure.

With Love Devoted to Allah,
MR ISA HAMAD

I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of Five Million Five Hundred Thousand united state dollars. ($5.5mUSD). Immediately to your account. The money has been dormant (in-active) for 10 years in our Bank here without any body coming for it.

I want to release the fund to you as the nearest person to our deceased customer (the owner of the account) who died a long with his supposed next of kin in air crash since on February 21, 2003. I don't want the fund to go into our Bank treasury as an abandoned fund, so this is the reason why I contacted you, so that my Bank will release the fund to you as the nearest person to the deceased customer. Please I would like you to keep this proposal as a top secret and delete it if you are not interested.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send you the application form which you will send to our banks the next of kin and also note that you will have 40% of the above mentioned amount if you agree to help me execute this business. And also 10 % had been mapped for you for the expense you will make in this transaction and 50% is for me. I need you information so that I will send you the application form.

Trust me, i would not be trading if basic necessities were provided for me.
I would be pursuing my true passion in life, and i'm sure most people would do the same. Now that is what i call a great life.

Not true. Basic necessities are food, clothing, shelter. So lets say the government provides you those "basic" necessities. They give you a cheap, but sturdy wooden home, plain clothes, and rice, beans, & chicken and to drink only water.

Thats your "basic" needs right there. Now...you want carpet in that house? or a rug to go over those un-sanded wooden floors? thats a "luxury" You want cable? internet? a burger from mcdonalds? thats a luxury. You want a suit? Or Something other than your Government issued plain white t-shirt and pants? Thats a luxury. Medical? thats a luxury! yeah people say that medicine should be free for everyone, but its not...its a luxury...always has been, probably always will be. You would still be in the rat race trying to secure a better position even if basic necessities were provided for you or you would just do nothing.

Look at all the people that do have basic necessities provided for them. The people that get Section 8 housing, food stamps & welfare. MOST (not all) but most just collect it every month and do nothing to better themselves.

Everyone knows that if you want to pursue your passion in life without having to worry about basic necessities, you need to have a decent passive income which is why we all work to retirement. Some of us try to get there faster than others(why we trade) and some are content to have a job for 30-40 years until they retire.
 
You can get three hots and a cot by going to prison. That'll give you plenty of free time to chase your dreams.

How about welfare? As long as i don't spend my money on booze, crack, or some new fubu gear i can cover the necessities.
 
419eater is hysterical if you got the time to read his letters.

I agree this is probably one of the biggest scam. Ford CEO says that if he gets the loan he will work for $ 1.

Yet up till yesterday he has been working for 9 M per year, what does that tell you ?
