My Nigerian Prince has a new name and country!

I laughed my butt off reading this...

(I got it in my e-mail...)


Attention please,

I am Mr Kim S William 56 years old, From USA, a formal Finance Director of private Oil Servicing company in Libya. My company had business with British Petroleum (BP) UK where I made $20.000,000 usd ( Twenty Million United state dollars) out of my company's knowledge.I legally placed the fund in an international security company located in Spain. Because of my illness and security in my country I can't direct the fund to my personal
account rather I want you to assist me to receive the fund.

The company is ready to dispatch it pending on when I present my beneficiary. If you can help me in this transaction, I will compensate you with 30% of the total amount and you will also get benefit from the investment. If there is any kind of agreement that you would like us to have, I am ready to implement it with suitable security processes to ensure the data collected is not used outside the guidelines of this transactions. Kindly indicate your interest on this issue to enable me know the next line of action.

Kind Regards
Kim S William

Mr. William is a FORMAL Finance Director. He goes to work in a tux. Tux and tails on Friday. Sometimes even a top hat and cane. Can he dance? That remains to be seen.

I think you should totally go for it!

Thanks for the chuckle.

...what would happen if I opened a new bank account with NO money in it, an account I would not use for anything else, and give the "Nigerian Prince" that account number, and see what happens?

And then my brother, who lives in Leesburg, Florida, told me that a woman there did that, and then, when she was standing in line at a teller's window, she suddenly got surrounded by federal agents.

So apparently the feds do watch out for this sort of thing.

I laughed so hard, I cried. My sides hurt.

This guy is brilliant. Thank you so much for posting this.
After spending all morning reading the gloom and doom, I really needed this!

I had seen the first one before - but it still made me howl.

The toaster just about killed me!! James Veitch is a treasure.

Thanks for sharing this. We all need to laugh whenever we can.

Some time back, I decided to answer all of my so-called spam emails for one week.

Two weeks later, all-natural supplements had caused my penis to grow to 17.5 inches; a nice Nigerian widow lady had deposited $14 million in my bank account; and I had received dozens of $1,000 Apple and Walmart gift cards just for taking a brief survey. And best of all, by donating half of my income to Trump2020 I had guaranteed that America would stay Great Again!

Is this a great country or what?

Mr. Kim William or William Kim or whoever the hell this is thinks I’m going to open a bank account, let him transfer $20 million United state dollars into it...and that I won’t immediately transfer the whole wad to an account Kim Kim doesn’t know about the second it arrives?

I think you may have a knack for this business. Is it on your LinkedIn profile?
