I just got a v strange email from the World Health Org charity saying that my email address was entered into a draw and I have won £500,000 . To claim it says to contact the Chairman and gives an address. Has any1 else had this email????

Obviously it a hoax right, isn't it???????????????????

apd007

I'm guessing hoax too. As a general rule, if you haven't entered the prize draw, you haven't won.

You mean an e-mail like this :

FROM THE DESK OF.. DR AMIRI BABO
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANK OF AFRICA(B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO



Dear Friend,

I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
department
BANK
OF AFRICA .

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of U.S$25M US dollars
(Twenty five Million US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of
our
foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November 2002
in a
plane crash.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next if
kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it
unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidlines and laws but unfortunately we learnt
that
all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the
plane crash leaving
nobody behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this
business
proposal to you so that the money will be released to you as the next
of
kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since
nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the
bank
treasury as unclaimed bill.

The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money
remained
unclaimed after four years, the money will be transfered into the bank
treasury as unclaimed bill. The request of foreigner as next of kin in
this
business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
and a
Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

I propose that 30% of this money will be for you as my foreign
partner,
in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside
for
expenses incured during the business and 60% would be for me.
Thereafter I
will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages
indicated.

Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the
deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private
telephone
and fax number for easy and effective communication and location
wherein
the money will be remitted.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by e-mail a text of the
application which you'll fill in and send to the bank's email address..
I
will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is
hitch-free
and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the transfer.

You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter
for
further clearifications.

Yours faithfully,
. DR AMIRI BABO

It is probably one of those, you need to send us a few hundred pounds in transfer fees, admin fees, state tax Blah Blah, and we will transfer the money into your account, and that will be the last you will ever hear from them.

You Have to be in it to win, and I don't think you were ever in it, so don't send them anything.
