Default Wow, New Business Opportunity

LOL, look what I just got in email.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attn: Dear
It is my humble pleasure to write you this mail
Irrespective of the Fact that you do not know me.
Forgive me for the rather unorthodox way of contact,
However I got your Contact through a consulting firm,
Here in the United Kingdom,
However the intention of this proposal was not made known to them.
I am Mr Albaz Abacha son of MRS. MARYAM
ABACHA, the former first lady and wife of the late
GEN. SANI ABACHA, the former head of state and
Commander in chief of the armed forces of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.

My mother (MRS. M. ABACHA), has as a result of the trust and
Confidence she has in me mandated that I search for a
Reliable and trustworthy foreign partner, who
Will help receive some funds, which we had in cash
Totalling US$45m (Forty Five Million United States
Dollars Only) into a personal, company or any
Reliable foreign bank account for safe keeping for a
Short period of time, since our family bank accounts
Within and outside the country have all been
Frozen by the authorities. (I would refer you to the
Website of TELL WEEKLY MAGAZINE: http://WWW.tell.org. Of
November 23, 1998 page 25, for further information
About these monies and the ABACHAS)
And
http://www.onlinenigeria.com/abacha.asp
http://www.mg.co.za/mg/news/2000may1/10may-abacha.html
http://www.mg.co.za/mg/africa_archive/nige...ia_archive.html
http://www.mg.co.za/mg/news/99oct1/13oct-nigeria.html
This money in question has however, been carefully
Kept in defaced form and deposited with a security
Company .You may therefore be required to travel to any
Of the branches to collect the money on behalf of my
Family for safekeeping.

It may also interest you to know that my mother (MRS.
ABACHA) and some of our family members have, since the inception of
The present democratic government, been placed under
Partial house arrest, with their international
Passports withdrawn pending the resolution
Of current fund recovery face - off between them and
The present RTD GEN. OBASANJO led Federal Government,
Which from all indications will not exceed this year.

We have decided to offer anybody who will be willing
To render this tremendous assistance 20% of the total
Sum, while 5% shall be set aside for incidental
Expenses.

Note that this transaction involves no risks
Whatsoever, as you will have no dealing with my
Country, Nigeria. Rather, you will deal directly with
The security company, which is based where the money
Is right now.

Let me have your confidential Tel/Fax Numbers and also
A contact address in response to this proposal.
That would enable me to send you some of my pictures and id

I shall let you into a complete picture of this
Mutually beneficial transaction when I have received
Your anticipated positive reply. This matter should be
Treated as urgent and confidential. This is very
Important.
Best Regards,

Abbas Abacha

I'd be a fool not to do it

A business idea that doesn't get to the point within the first few sentences kills my attention span and goes into the trash.

I guess so........ should be no harm in letting him have those details should there?!?!?

Oh and by the way, could you put up about US$10-15,000 to open a joint account with him (he will let you have the money back as soon as the first transfer arrives) just to smooth out the transfer process?!?!?!
