I've just received one by snail mail from Mount Pleasant London, purporting to be from a Chinese National and requesting me to keep all details of it confidential............. I'll scan it and post it later! Just watch out for one Chu Woo - they are impoverished too only having $5million to put into my bank account, not worth giving them my bank details for me to then buy property in China which they can convert for me into $60 milions...................... |

I agree Nigeria can be a great place to live, but it has suffered from corruption for many years and scamming is just a 'natural' evolution. I remember the concrete fiasco, never feeling safe in Lagos/Ikeja between sunset-sunrise, extraordinary amount of 'dash' that everyone expected. Now up on the hausa plateau that was a different story. I asssume that guiness are still Ikeja oddly enough next door to the berger paint factory!. Many be it's improved since the power has moved to abuja. |

Many years ago I worked in a company where a not very intelligent 'meat head' got one of these emails and responded, and kept responding. |

When blow me the little chap phones back to have a go at me ,little |
