Dear Friend,
This message might meet you in utmost surprise,However,Its just my urgent need for a foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction, I am Dr Amudu John personal Assistant to the Branch Manager of Bank Of Africa(BOA)Ouagadougou Burkina Faso. I want to inquire from you if you can handle this transaction for mutual benefits/life opportunity for you and me. The transaction is about seeking your consent to present you as the next of kin/ beneficiary of the US$10.3 MILLION DOLLAR,(TEN
MILLION,THREE HOUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS), and who is a customer to the bank where i work.
This money is owned by a man called MR HASSAN ABDULLAH,a Lebanese who was involved in the december 26th 2003 Benin plane crash in West Africa, with his family during their vacation journey . The Fund is currently in a suspense account awaiting claim, the bank made a public notice that they are ready to release this fund to any of his relatives abroad.

7 AnswersBoxing1 decade agoPacquiao VS Barrera II... Does it still has the hype? Now that it is finally set on Oct.6?
The rematch between Pacquiao, honored as 2006 Fighter of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America recently, and Barrera, a former three-division world champion, is set on Oct. 6 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
The bout was forged after Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions formalized their amicable settlement on Friday.
Golden Boy chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and Top Rank CEO Bob Arum agreed to settle their promotional differences through the mediation of Daniel Weinstein in Las Vegas.
After Barrera lost his crown to Marquez.. There's nothing to loose for Barrera come "Pacquiao-Barrera II". Don't you think that it is better to put up a rematch against the best fighters of their division "Pacquiao-MArquez II".
What do you think will be the outcome of the "Pacquiao-Barrera II". Would it be a sweet revenge for Barrera or a deep pit downfall just as that of Morales' previous loss to Pacquiao?

Many people seemed to be tired of living bcause of certain problems they bear in their shoulders. I think dead people would exchange lives with those tired of living if only they could just be given the chance to live again. Who do you think is the more fortunate those tired of living or the dead?

4 AnswersEconomics1 decade agoWould Erik Morales be successful if he'll go up to his comfortable wt. 140 lb division and revitalize himself
He seemed to be having hard time making 130 lb wt. Even if he made it the last time losing 10lbs or so in just a month, it seemed to affect his endurance, stamina, and even his punching power. Is it time to renew himself and move to higher wt. class? After all, the only man to beat him undistputably is Manny Paquiao, the heaviest bomber at 130 lb. division. Would it have been JMM or MAB it would have been a different fight. What do you think so?
