During the last 6 or 7 months I have received more than a dozen e-mails similar to this, (including one from Mr.Savimbi). All want you to keep it confidential; most come from African countries: Nigeria, Lome-Togo,Benin,etc,
All claim to be a relative of a very high official or a bank president and for fear of reprisal can't touch the money in their own country & need to get it into "safe hands" in another country, and so will make you rich for handling the deal for them. A few claim their is no next of kin for the money & will make you the next of kin...to receive the money which is always several billion US dollars. I have reported it to the Clinton Twp Police and they say they can do nothing....no crime has been committed; anyone can send e-mail. I could take it to the Feds...have been thinking of doing so.
