What should I do? - updated

I was kidding. Really and truly. Everything below was written with my tougue firmly lodged in my cheek. This particular post was prompted by some spam I recieved, a variation on the infamous Nigerian email that we all love so. I don't actually receive much spam at all (a couple of pieces a month usually) and this was the first time I'd been hit by this particular scam. I was quite amused by it, hence the entry below. Rest assured that how ever naive I may appear to be, I'm not that naive.

To all those of you who expressed concern for my wellbeing/sanity I do thank you and I hope you can rest a little easier now :)

I probably shouldn't be writing this, but I feel I need to ask you all for your opinion of a matter of some importance. As I was urged to maintain the highest levels of secrecy, I shall not go into the matter at hand in too great a level of detail lest I inadvertently reveal the identity of, or worse, endanger those those who have trusted me so.

This morning, you see, I received an email from someone seeking my help. My correspondent is a refugee from an African country in political turmoil. In his native country he has been entrusted with a considerable sum of money, which was to be used to finance new agricultural initiatives, but which he is now sure will only end up in the hands of his native lands corrupt regime. To avoid this outcome he is seeking ways to safely transfer the money out of the country, and has personally asked for my help to do so. I confess that I was previously unaware of my mysterious friend until his mail arrived, but he said that he discovered me through a personal search, so I feel justified in vouching for his character. I feel fortunate that he has come to me, since the sums of money involved are so large I am sure a less scrupulous person than myself would be tempted to take advantage of the situation. As it stands my friend has generously offered me 15% of monies involved in return for my cooperation, all in return for the small favour of using my bank account to transfer the money. Whilst I had some concern with this initially, let me allay your fears by telling you that I am assured my participation carries with it no risk to myself. Obviously such a sum would not be unwelcome to me, but I do not feel that I could in all honesty accept it, especially since it would be at the expense of those whose need of it is far more desperate than mine. Nevertheless I feel it only proper that I should still offer what assistance I am able to provide.

Inexperienced as I am in matters of business, I find myself uncertain as to how now to proceed. My friend has advised that I form a partnership with him in order to make the process easier. If anyone has any advice as to how to go about this I would be grateful. Please send me what details you have, although again I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.

God Bless You.
Yours Faithfully,
