Good day,

I wish to know if we can work together because i would like you to stand as the
beneficiary to a deceased client Mr. Emmanuel Etukudo who made some deposit sum
of_ ($15.5million) fifteen million five hundred thousand united states dollars
in my department in the Bank of Africa Burkina-Faso, West Africa before his
death.

He died on the 2nd may 2007 without any registered next of kin and as such the
funds now have an open beneficiary mandate. Upon your reply i will give you
details on how the transaction will be executed, and I’ am assuring you that it
is 100% risk free hence you co-operate with me.

Best regards and expecting your response.

Mr. Hassan Ahmed.

Expat Workforce

I received this e-mail asking for publicity and participation in a new website. Maybe you would like to help?

Hi Expat Blogger !

My name is Melanie, I’m the Community Manager for a new site called Expat Workforce. I thought you might be interested in the site since we hope it’ll allow more people to pursue their expat dreams. I’m writing to ask for your help.

Expat Workforce is the only site of its kind. We connect expats with Western businesses who want to outsource jobs to talented expats around the world. Whether it’s copywriting, telesales, customer service, or bookkeeping – because of technology it’s possible for businesses to save money by hiring expats to do these jobs.

We just launched last week and are still in “beta mode” and recruiting expats. We plan to begin promoting aggressively to businesses in approximately 1 month.

I’m writing with two requests:

In order for businesses to see the site as the “go to” place for finding expats, we need a critical mass of expats. Could you take a minute to build your profile at: http://expatworkforce.com/ ?

If you are intrigued by the idea of Expat Workforce, would you be willing to write a short blog post or mention us in a Twitter message? We greatly rely on support from the expat community to help us spread the word about the site.

If you have any questions, just hit “reply” and I’d be happy to tell you more. Also, you can check out FAQ here: http://bit.ly/expatFAQ to learn more.

Thank you for your consideration.

Warm regards,

Melanie
