I got one of those about 2 months ago. I replied to the address and told him that I was American, Southern, Male, Conservative. I'm already rich in my opinion.

HAHAHA shit thats a hilarious scam.
Did they send it to you randomly?

I assume that's the case, since I have no idea what "company" they are referring to, lol

BIG SCAM!!!!
was at a seminar recently where Secret Service agents described this exact scam.
If people bite they then ask for a few thousand dollars for the necessary paper work to transfer the money to you then continue to string you along with snags and need for more of your money. The agents even described a case where someone lost about $70,000, then a few months later was contacted by another group who said the were trying to help all the people mislead by the first group and lost even more money.

I emailed the guy, i'm gonna pretend to be a sheep just to fuck with the guy.

Damm, that's a lot of money.

Sounds like the entire GNP of Nigeria!

I got the same thing awhile back. I replied asking them to send me $10,000 as good faith money, so I'd know they were on the "up and up".

Still waiting.
