I have no thoughts on this one way or the other in terms of its religious impact. It’s just that, every time I hear about this, I keep thinking, “Piltdown Man” or “Hitler Diaries.” It just always seems that when some fascinating historical discovery comes along that’s too good to be true…it turns out to be just that.

Apparently the following e-mail is making the rounds:
“Please,
My name is MR.PETER DAVID,the Director of a Security Company.
There is an Investor,former governor of Bayelsa state the richest oil
state in Nigeria, DSP Alamieyeseigha lodged some fund cash for
safekeeping, he reliably told me to look for a foreign partner/investor
who can receive and manage the fund for him until he is clear with the
problem currently in the state.
For him, his arrest and detention was
politically motivated because {this man supports the presidential
aspirant vice-president Atuku for the next election come 2007 while
Obasanjo the president of Nigeria is planning to rule for the third
term against the constitution;however the money $58,600,000.00 USD
originated from contracts and gratification from multi national oil
companies in the state.We must move the money out from African shores
due to the letter sent to Financial Institutions in Nigeria last week
by Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) requesting her
assistance to trace all money lodged in her bank/Security Companies by
government officials.
His family recently arrived Ghana for safety due
to the problem. Now can you receive the money or find an investor whom
I will offer to give 15% of the total sum for your assistance,5% have
been mapped out for expenses made by both parties,Your role to this
proposal is strictly to receive the fund and provide suitable account
that can receive and hold the money until my physical arrival to your
country.
MR.PETER DAVID.”
No matter where you go…there I am. Apparently with this site under unceasing spam assault, someone decided to go one better by incorporating my name into one of the longest-running scams around.
Notice they don’t post as Neil Gaiman. Nor Harlan Ellison. They ain’t writing, “My name is John Byrne,” nossir. Just me.
What an honor.
