I just need to go to Holland to meet up with my friend so I can authorise the transfer into my account, and come home a millionaire.

Spoken to him a few times over email now, and hes been plenty polite, if a little urgent to get things done.
I’m glad someone came to their defense. I was getting scared... Just because some people have been scammed doesn’t mean we all will be! I sent my $800 for my piece of the $10MM reward.

The guy (as polite as Fergal’s friend) told me he’d send me the cheque payable to Mr. Sucker. I tried to correct the spelling of my name, but he was sure it’s spelled S-U-C-K-E-R. I don’t get it, and haven’t received my cheque either

Fergal, if your friend needs a little help to get a numbered bank account here, just let me know. I'm sure I could set it up for a modest fee. Tell you what, I don't have the spare cash at the moment (but I like you and want to help you guys) so if you could loan me some so I can get this started then we'll all be happy.

Cheers nugget, thats a very generous offer right there. Not sure if I need it - apparently my bank account details are enough - but if I do, I'll definately give you a shout.

I would say go for it and help this poor old lady! Since there is no date in the letter, it could well be 88 days old and you have only 2 days left!!! Every hesitation can be fatal. Hurry!!!
