Sounds like you're trying to sneak in there and 'alf inch my millions for yourself, which the Gates' have graciously given me despite being on their death beds.

"You can Google my name.....". Surely Bill would suggest "you can Bing my name....."?

Smells fishy to me. The rest seems fine :shifty:

You'd think Bill Gates would want you to Bing his name.

Edit: Too slow!

Didn't Bill leave Microsoft? He's probably furious with them and so is doing everything he can to stop the spread of Bing.

The whole email sounds 101% legit to me.

I can't just tell you how best to spend the money, but for an annual salary of 5 million (minimum one year term) I can definitely advise on how best to spend 5 million.

Yes?

Holy gooseberry fool, I've been chosen again!

From the Desk Of:
Mr. John Kofi Owusu
Director National Investment
Bank of Ghana


RE: PAYMENT ON ACCRUED INTEREST OF US$1.5MILLION

I am the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR and Head of Swift Transfer Unit of National Investment Bank of Ghana, Accra.

Sometime ago, your inheritance fund was brought to our bank from the Bank of Ghana, after some period, the money was taken back to the Government Treasury. For the period of time this money was in our bank, it generated an interest of US$1.5 Million, which we are about to be pay to you via International Debit Card.

For your information and advice, you need to hasten up to pick this Fund because from time to time the Bank of Ghana auditors do come to our bank to cross-check our files and our financial update, the earlier you comply with the demands of the delivery of the fund, the faster the action, because the Apex bank officers wants the accrued interest to be paid to them but we refused, so when they find out that this interest fund is still in our bank they will want to call back the money to the Government treasury.

What we need from you now is 1. your full name 2. contact address for reconfirmation. 3. your telephone number for easy communication.

As a matter of fact we don?t have enough time to waste since we have wasted time in contacting our respective customers, so try and comply with the entire necessary requirement for remittance.

Await your urgent response.

Yours Sincerely

For: the management

Mr. John Kofi Owusu
Executive Director
N. I. Bank of Ghana
Telephone: +233238464656

I'm now worth $6.5million. Can't believe how much luck I'm having this month...
