That sounds extremely logical. Does that mean you can confirm the birth of the deceased or the beginning of his death?

No matter, most people won’t understand what he means.

On a funnier note: does anybody know what he means by “Have A Green Day”?

Yes, it’s another e-mail from Ouagadougou touting an imaginary account, using George’s name to promote it. The reason is simple, George Brumley is easy to research on the internet. His background makes the story halfway believable.

Greetings,

I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable BankDraft of 600,000,00 GBP, but I did not hear from you since that time.

Then I went and deposited the Draft with FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West  Africa, I travelled out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till end of August.

What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country.

The only money you will send to the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE to deliver your Draft direct to your postal Address in your country is ($385.00 US) Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far.

Again, don’t be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $385.00US Dollars.

I would have paid that but they said no because they don’t know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.You have to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of your Draft with this information bellow;

Contact Person: Mr. Albert Lee
Email Address: fedexcourierde@gmail.com
Telephone:+(234) 8058509099

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address() and Direct telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your package over there and know when it will get to your address.

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their  Security Keeping fee of $385.00 US Dollars for their immediate action.

You should also let me know through email as soon as you receive your Draft.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr.ANDY DAVIDS

The only interesting point about this e-mail is the e-mail address didia44@zudah.org.

There is a registered domain Zudah.org. It belongs to a woman with an address in California. The question is, how did Didia get a working e-mail address from there?

I am waiting for an answer, so we will have to wait and see if there really is an e-mail account there or not.
