"From The Desk Of Mr. William Mills..."

[Finch Platte]

I got this email today, what should I do? Should I send him money (this is really an incredible offer, I'd be a fool to pass it up), or a couple of my comps so he'll quit bugging me?

DEAR FRIEND,

MY NAME IS MR.WILLIAM MILLS; I AM THE REGIONAL MANAGER OF A BANK, TAKORADI
BRANCH IN THE WESTERN REGION OF GHANA. I GOT YOUR INFORMATION ON A RECENT
BANK CONFERENCE WITH OTHER WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES HELD IN LOME THE CAPITAL
CITY OF TOGO IN WEST AFRICA.

I WRITE YOU THIS PROPOSAL IN GOOD FAITH, I AM 56 YEAR OLD MARRIED WITH TWO
LOVELY KIDS. I HAVE PACKAGED A FINANCIAL TRANSACTION THAT WILL BENEFIT YOU
AND I,AS THE REGIONAL MANAGER OF A BANK IT IS MY DUTY TO SEND IN A
FINANCIAL REPORT TO MY HEAD OFFICE IN THE CAPITAL CITY ACCRA AT THE END OF
EACH BUSINESS YEAR.

ON THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR 2012 FINANCIAL BUSINESS REPORT, I
DISCOVERED THAT MY BRANCH IN WHICH I AM THE MANAGER MADE TEN MILLION SIX
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THOUSAND US DOLLARS($10,680,000.00) WHICH MY HEAD OFFICE
ARE NOT AWARE OF AND WILL NEVER BE AWARE OF.

I HAVE PLACED THIS FUNDS ON WHAT WE CALL ESCROW CALL ACCOUNT WITH NO
BENEFICIARY. AS AN OFFICER OF THIS BANK I CANNOT BE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO
THIS MONEY, SO MY AIM OF CONTACTING YOU IS TO ASSIST ME RECEIVE THIS MONEY

THINK WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
SO THAT WE CAN GO OVER THE DETAILS.

THANKS YOU IN ADVANCE AND MAY GOD BLESS
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

So his bank (of which he is the Regional Manager, just in case you missed it) made $10 million that the head office will never know about, and he decides to keep it? Yeah, sounds like an upstanding guy to me, you should trust him.

Uh. The part that made me suspicious was the "two lovely kids". No way that happens.

His next question is this :
What is your bank's routing number and your checking account number ?

There was a 'Flight of the Conchords' episode where the band's manager, Murry, tells them he sent money to some guy in Africa. The funny part was that, near the end of the episode, he actually got a pile of money from the guy.
