I figured I might as well get a couple more spams out of the way, and since I got two fairly similar ones today, well....

DEAR FRIEND,

I AM CHOKRI CHARLES TAYLOR, THE SON OF MR. CHARLES GHANKAY TAYLOR, FORMER PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA, WEST AFRICA. I GOT YOUR CONTACT THROUGH MY FATHER'S LIBRARY.

I AM CONTACTING YOU FROM NIGERIA, WHERE I, MY MOTHER AND SIBLINGS HAVE BEEN HELD-UP SINCE THE ARREST OF MY FATHER AND HIS CONSEQUENT TRIAL BY A U.N - BACKED COURT IN SIERRA - LEONE.IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID FURTHER ESCALATION OF THE CONFLICT AND COMPLETE COLLAPSE OF LIBERIA, MY FATHER MR. CHARLES TAYLOR ON JULY 6 ACCEPTED AN OFFER OF ASYLUM FROM NIGERIA'S PRESIDENT AND ON AUGUST 11 HE STEPPED DOWN AS PRESIDENT AND LEFT FOR NIGERIA ON A SELF IMPOSED EXILE.

ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SWEARING - IN OF THE NEW PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA, UNTOLD PRESSURE WAS MOUNTED ON HER BY THE USA. AND THE SPECIAL COURT IN SIERRA- LEONE, FOR THE 'BRINGING TO JUSTICE' OF MY FATHER TO FACE TRIAL.AS A RESULT MY FATHER IS NOW FACING A U.N - BACKED TRIBUNAL IN SIERRA - LEONE ON 17 - COUNT CHARGES FOR WAR CRIMES AND CHILD ABUSE LEAVING THE REST OF THE FAMILY IN A FIX.

MY REASON FOR CONTACTING YOU IS THAT TWO WEEKS AFTER MY FATHER'S ARREST, HIS BANK MANAGER CAME TO US AND TOLD US IN CONFIDENCE THAT MY FATHER HAS THE TOTAL SUM OF USD$110,000,000 IN HIS DOMISLARY ACCOUNT WITH THE BANK. HE SECRETLY ADVISED US TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR SECURITY REASONS.THE BANK MANAGER IS A GOOD FRIEND TO MY FATHER, HE SUGGESTED THAT SINCE MY FATHER HAS BEEN ARRESTED, THE BEST THING IS TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSE.

I AM CONTACTING YOU TO ASSIST ME TO RECEIVE THIS MONEY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSE IN YOUR COUNTRY.YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO SEND ME YOUR FULL BANK DETAILS WHERE THE MONEY CAN BE TRANSFERED.

THE BANK MANAGER HAS MADE ALL THE NECCESSARY ARRANGEMENT TO TRANSFER THE SAID MONEY OUT OF THE COUNTRY. IN THIS CASE IF YOU ACCEPT TO HELP US URGENTLY, FOR YOUR KIND HELP AND UNDERSTANDING WE ARE GOING TO OFFER YOU 20% OF THE TOTAL SUM. HOWEVER THE TRANSACTION REQUIRES TOP SECRECY UNTIL COMPLETION NOT WITHSTANDING THAT WE ARE IN CONTROL OF THE MONEY.

AWAITING YOUR FAVOURABLE RESPONSE.

A few hours later, this came in, from the same guy. It's pretty much the same email, with the paragraphs arranged differently. Also, a different email address.

I don't know why I got two of these from what was probably the same guy through two different addresses, with slightly different paragraphing.
