I just got this email, and this is what it said. Anyone know why this is circulating? Anyone know anything about it?

(URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL)

(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 152,000.000.00 USD ONE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS

Dear sir,

We want to transfer to overseas ($ 152,000.000.00 USD)
One hundred and Fifty two million United States
Dollars) from a Prime Bank in Africa, I want to ask
you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person
who will be capable and fit to provide either an
existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c
immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c
can serve to receive this money, as long as you will
remain honest to me till the end for this important
business trusting in you and believing in God that
you will never let me down either now or in future.

I am Dr.Greatzara Solo.the Auditor General of prime
banks, during the course of our auditing I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in
the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated
on this account again, after going through some old
files in the records I discovered that the owner of
the account died without a [heir] hence the money
is floating and if I do not remit this money out
urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. the owner
of this account is Mr. Adams.C. Nicole, a foreigner,
and an industrialist, and he died, since 1993. and
no other person knows about this account or any thing
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and my investigation proved to me as well that
Adams.C. Nicole until his death was the manager
Diamond Safari [pty]. SA.

We will start the first transfer with fifty two
million [$52,000.000] upon successful transaction
without any disappoint from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount
to your account,

The amount involved is (USD 152M) One hundred and
Fifty two million United States Dollars, only I want
to first transfer $52,000.000 [fifty two million
United States Dollar from this money into a
safe foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I
don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as
a foreigner because this money can not be approved to
a local person here, without valid international
foreign passport, but can only be approved to any
foreigner with valid international passport or drivers
license and foreign a/c because the money is in us
dollars and the former owner of the a/c Mr. Adams.C.
Nicole is a foreigner too, [and the money can only be
approved into a foreign a/c

However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us
together I got your contact address from the Girl
who operates computer, I am revealing this to you
with believe in God that you will never let me down in
this business, you are the first and the only person
that I am contacting for this business, so please
reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step
to take urgently. Send also your private telephone and
fax number including the full details of the account
to be used for the deposit.

I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and
to sign a binding agreement that will bind us
together before transferring the money to any account
of your choice where the fund will be safe. Before we
fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and
investments.

I need your full co-operation to make
this work fine. because the management is ready to
approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct
information of this account, which I will give to you,
upon your positive response and once I am convinced
that you are capable and will meet up with
instruction of a key bank official who is deeply
involved with me in this business.
I need your strong assurance that you will never,
never let me down.

With my influence and the position of the bank
official we can transfer this money to any foreigner's
reliable account which you can provide with assurance
that this money will be intact pending our physical
arrival in your country for sharing. The bank official
will destroy all documents of transaction
immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to
any place and to build confidence you can come
immediately to discuss with me face to face after
which I will make this remittance in
your presence and three of us will fly to your country
at least two days ahead of the money going into the
account.

I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately
I hear from you that you are ready to act and receive
this fund in your account. I will use my position and
influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward
transfer of this money to your account with
appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries
and foreign exchange departments.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5%
will be for expenses both parties might have incurred
during the process of transferring.

I look forward to your earliest reply through my email
address.

Yours truly

Dr.Greatzara Solo.

Yea, the other day I got one from the president wanting me to have dinner with him...and wanting a few thousand dollars....funny stuff, the part that made it obvious that it wasn't real was that it didn't have the presidential seal thingy on it.

I got the same thing...it's written so well for a second I thought it WAS real...but then I realized what a tard I was and sent it to the trash folder...they were doing this in Nigeria a few weeks back and just got busted. When you flew out to give your "Deposit" they'd kidnap you for a ransom!

I hope you are right Silky.

It kinda reminds me of something that happened in my town a few years back. There is a doc here from Africa. He was paying people off to get friends of his in the country illegally and got caught. They raided his house and found a secret safe with thousands and thousands of dollars in it. He was sent to prison for a few years. And guess what, he's back and practicing medicine again.

Genome are you still active in the military? Just wondering if there is a connection somehow between you and Teri.

I've gotten it too -- and deleted it every time. It makes no sense to me either.

Did I mention that I finished a marathon?

Actually, that's the fourth time I've gotten it. Each time it has a different person's name (in place of Dr. Greatzara Solo.)

Looks like a scam, but you never know. It's pretty freaky they are contacting you. This is one case I think I would forward it to higher authorities. That would really creep me out if I got it.

it may just be a prank from one of your friends, but if not it looks like it's either it is a scam to get your money, or it looks like terrorists want their money trail cleaned/ transferred to other terrorists.if you suspect either of the last two, turn the email over to the FBI. if it really does turn out to be that, you would be the one receiving the Shaft from the law if you helped that "Dr".
good luck with whatever you do, genome.

i don't understand, other than maybe they just want your bank account number so they could steal you money, other than that...
