Last I remember, they were running that scam out of either LA or Toronto. So, they've either moved or set up a branch office in Chicago now. :)

Well, it could have been a new flavor of Spam...or perhaps Spam has been made healthier. Maybe MSN wanted to send you a free can of Spam? :)

I had Spam for dinner tonight...good stuff.

Nic those pheramone ones are funny. Entertaining theory, great for luring desperate guys i guess.

Yeah, since I've been using these new fagrances, all I've been attracting are desperate guys. :(

Although, it's not as bad as that Stag Semen stuff I was using last year. Boy, was my love life ever in a rut.

No, see...emails hyping MSN 8 *are* the new generation of spam. That's MSFTs idea of "innovation".

These are the subject headers:

FROM THE DESK OF:

MR. LIU CHAN
CHINATRUST COMMERCIAL BANK.
NAN KAN BRANCH, TAIWAN
REPUBLIC OF CHINA

I am Mr. Liu Chan To, Bank Manager of Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Nan Kan branch,
Taiwan, R.O.C. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.

On June 6, 1998, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals
Corporation, Mr. Smith Lawrence made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve
calendar months, valued at
US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder
and finally we
discovered from his contract employers, the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr.
Smith Lawrence died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that
he died
without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.

I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Smith Lawrence did not
declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over
with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to
Laws of Republic of China, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the
ownership of the Chinese Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin
to Mr. Smith Lawrence so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of
some corrupt
government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will
put you in
place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and
notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your
favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be
paid into
your account for us to share in the ratio of 90% for me and 10% for you.

There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney
and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction. If you
are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address above. Upon your
response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help
you understand
the transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most
profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your
country.

Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address.

Thanks and regards.

Mr. Liu Chan.
