Subject: Re: Strange business from Nigeria?


Hi!

	I too have received a letter from Nigeria proposing a business
arrangement that was obviously part of some elaborate financial scam.  In
the one I received they were offering me many millions of dollars in
return for allowing them to make use of my bank account.  Needless to say,
I do not believe I would have actually received those millions had I
replied.

	Nigeria is notorious right now as the source of many financial
scams and con games.  If you get a letter from a stranger in Nigeria
offering to make you rich, either throw it away or mail it to your state's
Attorney General.

				All my best,

				Spence
