if u dont know who its from and has the words "Penis Enlargement" in its Subject, i would say delete it, unless u are into these kind of things, i swaer, i made a hotmail and gmail acoount, eventually they both ended up with emails like these coming into the inbox, whcih i moved to spam, cant stop it, as it is not a subscribed thing just someone sending the mail

man, not only am I getting these type of emails every other day, but I'm also getting them by post!

I've won so many lotteries I have never entered it's amazing I could easily have retired by now if I had taken them up on their offers.

WIFE: VIEW THE SITE :
(zenpageweavers.com/malikahti/journal/flight.htm) AND CNN
NEWS:
(cnn.com/US/9910/31/egyptair.families.02/)
 
BANK OF AFRICA GOT INFORMATION AFTER HIS DEATH THAT HIS TWO CHILDREN WHICH 
THEIR NAMES DID NOT MENTIONED IN THE ABOVE SITE WERE AMONG THE VICTIMS.THE 
BANKING LAW AND GUIDLING HERE STIPULATES THAT IF SUCH FUND REMAINED 
UNCLAIMED AFTER TEN YEARS IT WILL BE TRANSFERED INTO THE BANK TREASURY AS 
UNCLAIMED FUND
 
AND THE FUND HAS BEEN DORMANT IN HIS ACCOUNT WITH THIS BANK WITHOUT ANY 
CLAIM OF THE FUND IN OUR CUSTODY EITHER FROM HIS FAMILY OR RELATION BEFORE 
MY DISCOVERY TO THIS ISSUE.THE SAID AMOUNT WAS US$13.7M (THIRTEEN MILLON 
SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).
 
MEANWHILE THE TRANSFER OF THIS FUND  WILL REQUIRE A SECOND PARTY OR FELLOW 
WHO WILL FORWARD CLAIM AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR BUSINESS PARTNER OF THE 
DECEASED TO THE BANK OF AFRICA,AND ALSO PRESENT A FOREIGN ACCOUNT WHERE THE 
FUND WILLBE RE-TRANSFERRED AFTER PAYMENT APPROVAL IS GRANTED.SO,THE REQUEST 
OF FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN OR BUSINESS PARTNER ON THIS TRANSACTION IS
OCCASSIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND I, AS A 
BURKINABE CANNOT STAND AS NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED.

FREE. AND ON SMOOTH CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION,YOU WILL BE ENTITLED TO 
40% OF THE TOTAL SUM AS GRATIFICATION, WHILE 10% WILL BE SET ASIDE TO TAKE 
CARE OF EXPENSES THAT MAY ARISE DURING THE TIME OF TRANSFER AND ALSO

DORMANT FOR MANY YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF THE OWNER,YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT AN 
UPFRONT EXPENSES WILL BE INVOLVE ON THIS TRANSACTION BEFORE THE FUND
WILL BE TRANSFERRED INTO ANY OF YOUR ACCOUNT BY THE BANK OF AFRICA. AND IT'S 
BOTH OF US THAT WILL PAY AN UPFRONT EXPENSES WHICH WILL BE INVOLVED ON THIS 
TRANSACTION IN ORDER TO ENSURE A SMOOTH ANDSUCCESSFUL TRANSFER OF THE FUND 
TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
 
I WILL BE HERE IN THE BANK OF AFRICA AND MONITOR THE WHOLE TRANSACTION WITH 
YOUR ASSISTANCE UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE TOTAL FUND IN YOUR ACCOUNT 
PEACEFULLY.ONCE YOU CONFIRMED THE TOTAL FUND IN YOUR ACCOUNT SUCCESSFULLY, I 
WILL COME OVER TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR MY OWN SHARE OF THE FUND.UPON RECIEPT OF

i get these once in awhile. different types of offers all have the same result:

someone looking to screw you over. once i did reply with a few questions, got a response, i had a few more questions that went unanswered. just mark them as spam and delete them, good for a few laughs though.
