I have just received an even better proposition - much simpler than non-existent t-shirts. Take a look at this (completely unaltered):</p> <p>Subject: Pleas read</p> <p>I am willing to:</p> <p>Send money into your(NEW)account.<br /> Amount: 10,000,000 pounds.<br /> Purpose: Investment<br /> Your interest: 500k</p> <p>If you are interested to help me receive this money within 3 days please get back to me asap about you..</p> <p>Note: This transaction is clean and not anyway a laundry... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40246#post-114764 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:15:33 +0000 Son of Barnabas 114764@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hmmm I'm beginning to have second thoughts. On reading the proposal again, it appears that Mr Abdul thinks one million is the same as 800,000 which makes me wonder if he is as financially astute as I originally thought. If only I could be so serious.... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40246#post-114551 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 19:32:59 +0000 kimllfixit 114551@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I won't get involved - my lack of seriousness could jeopardise your chances to be considered. But good luck with this enterprise! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40246#post-114545 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 18:50:59 +0000 dvo4fun 114545@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Sounds almost too good to be true but I'm in. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40246#post-114495 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:49:37 +0000 weematt 114495@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Gosh, the Nigerian prisons must be busy if they need all these shirts. Even if they got 2 each that's 400,000 prisoners.<br /> Very tempting but my account is currently empty as I await my share of an inheritance for which I paid a small advance. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40246#post-114494 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:39:30 +0000 Son of Barnabas 114494@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Dear fellow newbiscuiters! </p> <p>I can hardly believe my luck and want to share my good fortune with you all!
