Uh HUM!!!!!!!

I used to keep mine in an old box in the attic until one winter a family of mice decided shredded 20 dollar bills made quite the cozy home. UGH!!!!!!

Now, I don't have any money to worry about, so the problem's fixed!

You could always scambait the guy.

It seems it's quite a sport on the internet these days.

I know that I'm very nieve, but is it possible that this guy is on the level? That this is his first international plane purchase and is hoping that YOU know how to process the paperwork? That is what the email says.

I'm not offering advice and should defer to the wisdom of the group . . . But I think that I'd proceed and simply make sure that all of the risk is his.

Start by asking him if he knows whether the US has extradition rights with Great Britian, Japan. and China? (Or would that sour the deal ???)

Ah, c'mon! Be a nice guy. Sell it to him for half price (only $499,998.00). Of course, he needs a 10% deposit just to show his good intentions!

Dear Mr. Westerman:

Greetings from Central Texas and please allow me to apologize for contacting you this way. This is in regard to an urgent transaction I must follow through with and I was given your name through a contact of the highest and most trusted authority in Midland, whom shall for now must remain anonymous. But as you know, George W. used to live in Midland, not that I am dropping names!

My dearest cousin, Bubba Gotaago Haywood, a governor of one of our Southern States was killed in a coup attempt several months ago. My dearly departed cousin and I were very, very close. We were like brothers! When we were in our teen years, we both undertook flying lessons at a renowned flight academy at Cancun College in Mexico, eventually earning Airline Transport Pilot licenses.

I was contacted just moments ago by my cousin's lawfirm, Dewy, Cheatham and Howe, and I was told in my cousin's Last Will & Testament, he left me his Cessna 150. But wait, there is more news! My dear, dear cousin also hid a map inside the wingtip of his Cessna containing information that will direct me to $46 million dollars in gold and diamonds buried in a secret location in the great American Southwest.

This location is only accessible by a highly modified Cessna 150, similar to the Cessna left to me in my cousins Last Will & Testament. I am the only living person who knows of the hidden map in the Cessna wingtip, and only I am aware that my cousin hid this valuable treasure.

The reason I am contacting you is to ask for your assistance for which I shall deposit into your bank account, 15% of the proceeds from the booty that awaits my discovery in the secret location that only I know about.

In order for me to fuel the Cessna, pay for an annual inspection and have a nice new epoxy paint job (the paint job is needed so I can fly incognito) I will need immediate funds of $1,500,000 in cash. And by your generous contribution to my venture, I will repay you $3,500,000 plus the 15% of the recovery of the $46 million that awaits me.

Upon first thought, I suspect you may be wondering why a simple Cessna 150 would require $1,500,000 funding for fuel, hanger fees, annual inspection and a paint job. Well my dear sir, 100LL has become very expensive.

Additionally, I need to install a completely new glass panel and state of the art GPS in the Cessna with auto-pilot to help me pinpoint the exact location of the booty that is buried in the secret location that only I have access to. Since I will be required to fly in the desert region of the United States at a low altitude as I scan the vastness below, I will also need to modify the Cessna 150 with a STOL kit, new Met-Co-Aire wing tips, Vortex Generators AND I'll need to install a new fuel injected 180 horsepower Lycoming 0-360 engine with constant speed prop..

I'll also need to convert this Cessna to a tailwheel conversion and since the people who hold the STC are not answering their phones, I'll have to bribe the FAA into giving me a totally new STC for this process.

I'm sure you know that this engine can consume lots of fuel, so I will also need to install Long Range Fuel Tanks and a baggage fuel bladder too. It will be imperative to have rocket-assist boosters for take-off after I load all the gold and diamonds into the Cessna after I exploit the cave in which my dear cousin buried the booty. The rocket-assist boosters will also help me out-run the U.S. Border Patrol, whom I have reason to believe were instrumental in the coup against my dearly departed cousin.

As you can see Mr. Westerman, in order to make my Cessna 150 as fast as it can go, land short, take off quickly, 1.5 million dollars will BARELY cover the cost.

I'm confident that by now, you are very eager to assist me in this undertaking and with great anticipation, I eagerly await your word. As soon as I hear from you, I will provide an address to where you can transfer the $1,500,000. But in order to act on this opportunity, it would be best if you can provide me your bank account details. If we act now, we can ensure that someone else doesn't stumble upon my treasure.

I ask that you not share this information with anyone and to proceed immediately with the transfer of funds.

Sincerely,
Haywood U. Hepme

Yea, I'll get right on that. Are you sure $1.5 million will be enough? Maybe I should send you $3 million just to make sure.
