Fwd: Business Proposal

Folks,

On the last page of the class materials there is a letter from Nigeria
enticing me to engage in the smuggling of funds out of Nigeria. Attached is
another, now coming by email.

This scam has been around for years, and essentially what happens is US
business people replay, give up their bank account number, and get cleaned
out for whatever it is worth.

This scam has been going on for at least 25 years, and there is a department
of the US Secret Service devoted to combatting it.

I would hope that anyone who took my class was beyond falling for such a
scam, but just to be really, really sure... please know such deals are, as
they say, too good to be true.
