href="http://chris.pirillo.com/fifa-world-cup-spam/">FIFA World Cup Spam</a> is a post from <a
href="http://chris.pirillo.com">Chris Pirillo</a></p><p>Awesome! I&#8217;m being ask to help the 2010 FIFA World Cup hosting committee!</p><blockquote><p>I am Mrs. Nelisa Mazibuko, Director of Bid/Project Implementation South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup hosting committee. I got your particulars from the South Africa Export Promotion Council (SAEPC) I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature of this transaction.</p></blockquote><p>My particulars? I&#8217;ve never put my particulars on the Internets. My chest, maybe &#8211; but never something as private as my particulars. And if you have my particulars, may I please have them back before next weekend? Thanks.</p><p>Oh, and yes &#8211; I&#8217;ll keep this deal totally confidential.</p><blockquote><p>You must be aware now that my country South Africa won the bid to host the world cup by 2010, prior to this bid my committee was mandated to get the members of board of Federation International Football Association (FIFA) selection committee, to grant the country the hosting rights for the 2010.</p></blockquote><p>Yes, I&#8217;m aware &#8211; in the sense that I have no idea what you&#8217;re talking about. I don&#8217;t follow much sports, but a lot of my close friends love FIFA World Cup (including <a
href="http://www.niallkennedy.com/">Niall Kennedy</a> and <a
href="http://blog.softtechvc.com/">Jeff Clavier</a>).</p><blockquote><p>My committee was given the sum of $21 million dollars to secure the hosting right of the 2010 World Cup. Considering the gain that comes with the hosting right, South Africa &#8217;s economy will receive a massive direct boost from hosting the 2010 World Cup. The money was not spent all, I and my committee members saw this as a God sent opportunity to secure our future and that of our family.</p></blockquote><p>Yeah, first thing I&#8217;d spend it on if I were you? Grammar lessons. Anyway, continue&#8230;?</p><blockquote><p>I was therefore mandated by other committee members to look for a way to move the remaining money to a safe place with the help of a foreigner who we can trust and that is ready to assist us to move the funds considering the fact that we are still members of the bid/project committee.</p></blockquote><p>That&#8217;d be a long, long away from home &#8211; and I hope you&#8217;re not playing head games. If so, that&#8217;s cold as ice. Woman, oh woman. The damage is done. I have waited so long. I&#8217;m sure you can trust Foreigner. Oh, wait &#8211; *A* foreigner? Nevermind.</p><blockquote><p>We have in our possession the sum $13millon been balance of what we spent from the total amount of $21 million that was give for the project. We are ready to give you 30% for all your assistance; I and my colleague will keep 70%.</p></blockquote><p>What?! You&#8217;re kidding me!? Oh man, that&#8217;s awesome. I&#8217;d be more than happy to help. Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t think PayPal can handle that amount.</p><blockquote><p>If you are willing to assist us in transferring this funds to an account in your country please do contact Mr. Maxwell Nkosi, through his email address: <a

Bearing in mind that confidentiality is of great essence and so is time. I will await your response.</p></blockquote><p>My contact details? But you said you already had my &#8220;particulars?&#8221; How about I just contact the authorities instead, or just point out that your email has already been hijacked by <a
