Default I'm too busy ... anyone else want a go ....

I've just received this e-mail. Seems too good to be true, but this is the third that I have received and am working on getting the money transfered on the other two and don't have time for this one as well .... anyone else want to take advantage of the chance ?!?!

Goodday,
My name is Paul Osagie a staff of the CITIZEN INTERNATIONAL BANK PLC . As one of the auditors of the bank, I discovered an account with the sum of US$17.400,000.00.(Seventeen million four hundred thousand US dollars) that has been abandoned and unserviced for more than ten years belonging to one of our customer. Our banking law stipulates that if such account remaim unserviced and the fund unclaimed for twelve years, the money will be confisticated and go into the bank revenue as an unclaimed fund.
It is upon this discovery my colleaques and I who knows about it decided to make our secret and personal inquiries about the account owner (depositor) and the next of kin, but sadly, he died with his entire family in a plane crash in 1997. We solicit that you stand as the next of kin so that the money will be transfered to your account or any other account you may provide for us. We proposed that the money be shared as follows, 30% for you, 70% for my colleaques and I.
please, could you urgently notify me of your acceptance to assist in this transaction, I shall inturn provide you with all necessary information about the account and the modalities for a formal application to secure the claim and the immediate transfer of the fund to your account or any other account you may provide for us.
I believe you do understand the confidential nature of this transaction and hope you will be honest and trustworthy in this transaction. I await your reply.
Best regards,
Paul Osagie

I sent these guys $10,000 processing fee awhile back, and I'm starting to get worried that I haven't heard anything back form them.

Don't worry Rich, I am going through the same thing ... I think the $10,000 is what they need to get the registrar in Nigeria to provide a document confirming that you are the true heir, it takes time to get this issued. Once that is issued, I believe that they will need a further $10~15,000 to set up the intermediate account into which to transfer the funds in order to satisfy the financial regulators .... that is the point that I am at at the moment. I don't think that $25,000 is that much of an outlay, especially when I am looking at clearing more than $5 million .... that's one hell of a return on investment wherever you come from !!
