I'm in the Money!

Here we go again, how about this folks:

Somehow old Grumpy has become a figure worthy of respect in the Dark Continent and I've been getting masses of emails suggesting business deals with the most excellent folks in Nigeria.

It's a bit hush-hush, so I can't say too much, but it basically involves this company transferring $32m into my bank account for a brief time.

The money is that left over after completion of a contract for the Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of Kaduna refinery in Nigeria and the Rehabilitation of Petroleum Pipelines, Depot and Jetties.

Damn I love those company names.

Anyway, I'll get the money - having handed over all my banking details - to this great lot in Nigeria and I get to keep 25% of it. What a winner - and all for just parking the loot for a wee while.

And it's safe, I've got the guarantee of Mr Chuks Okoye.

He told me: "Please kindly do us this favor for God sake. I will also want you to know
that this transaction has no relationship with scam."

See, perfectly safe.

Well, I might just tootle off down to the travel agent and start booking my round-the-world luxury cruise with Matron. But firstly, I better send those details.
