I'm not even going to bother with answering this. Some of you might have seen this before? If you haven't I would say beware! LOL its pretty amusing

Dear sir,

I am an international business man, specialised in

dealing,purchasing and selling of AUTOS.I also help my foreign client to

ship their autos to any place of their desired country or destination, most

especially EUROPE, cause i have a shipper who takes care of the shipment, so

shipping will not pose any problem.

Presently i have a client who has asked me to help him purchase

the item subjected above which will be shipped to EUROPE. As i was browsing

through the internet, i saw your advert and i will like to purchase it for

my client, but before payment will be made i need to be sure of who i will

be dealing with if you are going to be honest and sincere throughout the

transaction.

So to start with, signify your interest by forwarding to me

your last (PRICE) as well as your method(s) of payment through mail, after

which we can continue with the transaction and i promise if all conditions

and agreement are accepted and reached on time, payment will be made out

almost immediately.

Hoping to here from you as soon as possible.

Respectfully,

KERRY-JONES.

There is a VERY long discussion thread with some interesting information about such emails at the Classics and Customs site: http://www.classicsandcustoms.com/discussion/detail.asp?1=1&postID=2830

Variations of the emails are presented here:

I had the same e-mail a couple of months ago. I asked them which car they wanted, and I never heard from them again.

I got this message a while ago and told them I wanted 2 million dollars in small bills and quarters. I never heard from them again...

Try forwarding it to www.ebolamonkeyman.com. He is the only one I know of that is actually doing something to try to make scammer's lives miserable. Caution: some of the content on his sight might throw flags on content filters at work, so it's probably best to go to his sight from a home computer.
