I dont know if this is DDT;but of late i've been observing very very ingenious and hilarious and some down right excellently put-of course we dont fall for their bait.
Here are a few I got in my mails LOLROTF)

From: hapuafrank@yahoo.co.in Subject:CALL ME ASAP
Email: isa_frank28@yahoo.co.in
Hello My Friend,
I am the chairman of the contract award committee of the National
Petroleum Corporation here in Nigerian, for security reasons, I may not wish
to disclose how I got your email address for now .After due deliberation with my partner, I decided to forward to you this business proposal, we want you to assist us receive the sum of Twenty
eight million, six hundred thousand united state bills(us28.6m) into
your account. This fund resulted from an over-invoiced contract awarded
by us under the budget allocation to my ministry and the bill was
approved for payment by the concerned ministries. The contract was executed,
commissioned and the contractor was paid his actual cost of the
contract. Now, we are left with the balance of us28.6m as the over invoiced
amount, which we have deliberately over estimated for our own use. Please
note that the law forbids civil servants to operate or own foreign
accounts hence this contact, we have agreed to share the money in the
following percentages: 30 for you, 60 for us 10 for tax as may be required
by your government.Note that this transaction is very much free from all sorts of risk hence the business was carefully planned before it was successfully executed and we the officials involved in the deal have put many years in service to our ministry. We have been exercising patience for this
privilege for so long not until the presidential announcement last week, that
all foreign contractors owed be paid forthwith, this will enable the
presidency reconcile our debt ratio with the outside world and to most of
us, this is a lifetime blessing we cannot afford to miss. Upon indication of your interest to fully co-operate with us, a payment application/information form will be sent to you via email for completion.Be informed also that the above mentioned formV when properly completed by you and return via email, will enable us seek/secure approval of the fund from the concerned government quarters/ministries within 1-2 banking days.As soon as we confirm receipt of this money in your nominated bank account, my partner and I will come over to your country to arrange for our own share and possibly invest part of this money in your country.Let honesty and trust be our watchword throughout this transaction. I shall furnish you with some details about myself. Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.
Best regards.-Adams I.S.A

I got a letter just like that! Well, not EXACTLY like that, but here it is:


Date:
Wed, 15 Mar 2006 13:05:32 +0100 (GMT+01:00)

From:
"jeffry wash" <jeffrywash@virgilio.it>

To:
cooperstein_wattberg@htomail.com



Hello there,

Compliments of the Season. I just came about your email
address and
your
brief profile through an email listing affiliated
with the US Chamber
of
Commerce and I would be very interested in
offering you a part-time
paying
job in which you could earn alot.

Before I go further I thought I'd inform you of both who you would be
working for and what you would be doing.

My name is jeffry Wash,45
years of age, 3 kids, a lovely girl and 2
troublesome boys, and the
love of my life, my wife. I am a somewhat
multitalented man and I do
quite a lot of traveling and get to meet
quite a
lot of people.

I
just resigned my job as a research scientist for ARINI (Agricultural
Research Institute of Northern Ireland (www.arini.ac.uk) but I still
work as
a freelance consultant for the instistute which gives me very
much time
to
do my own work which is basically being a freelance
researcher who
could be
employed by research institutes to do
research projects anywhere in the
world.

I reside in Dublin, Ireland
and even though I have lived most of my
life in
other parts of the
world, I am fully residing in Ireland.

Presently, I have just been
granted a funding to head a research
project in
the tropical regions
of West Africa regarding rare and vulnerable plant
species and this
would be commencing very soon.

However my funding were by my American
counterparts which sent me the
bunch
of payments mostly in US based
money orders. Getting an accountant in
the
states or opening an
account would have been my best choice but I have
a
deadline to meet
and taking any of those choices would cost me time and
a
whole lot of
other requirements I am not ready to deal with as I would
be
traveling a lot in the meantime.

So presently, assuming you would be
able to deal with cash, I would be
willing to employ you on contract
basis to be my payment representative
back
in the states, this way I
could issue and make these money orders out
to
you, you could then
liquidate them easily at the bank, withdraw 8% of
the
total amount on
these money orders as your commission and then send the
rest
back to
me through Western Union Money Transfer. Bear it in mind that
we
would be dealing with quite a handful of cash and you do not have to
go
out
as you will work as an independent contractor right from your
home/office.
You can earn up to $3000 -$4000 just working with me in a
short period
of
time.

I would be glad if you accept my proposal and
I intend to commence on
starting as soon as you are ready. If you are
interested, email me back
so
we could make concluding arrangements.

When replying include the following requested details below:

NAME:
ADDRESS:
PHONE NUMBERS:
AGE:
SEX:
YOUR RESUME(If you have one)

Thank
You,

jeffry Wash,

Agricultural Research Institute of Northern Ireland
Hillsborough,
Ireland BT26 6DR



Either he's a perv or he's serious. Don't Know. I almost fell for it too.
