Why am I looking for a job? I get these crazy nutjobs wanting to give me money. If I even thought this was anywhere near "legit" I'd send it to the FBI or something. But please, they're probably getting their own emails like this:

Subject: A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR YOU
Hello dear,
How are you doing today with work and family? Hope all is well?
Please be assured that this proposal is confidential and genuine.
My name is Mr Mustafa M. Zarti, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) and an old college friend to Saif al-Islam Gaddafi (Col. Gaddifi's son).
We all are aware of the current crisis in my country, LIBYA. Due to this crisis many assets and money belonging to Col. Gadaffi's family and government officials are being frozen by western government, as you can see on the following links -
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/09/us-libya-austria-assets-idUSTRE7284TE20110309 http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/27/gaddafi-family-assets-frozen-queen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WCp5rxNa1k We have lost a lot and are losing many on a daily basis
I need your help to secure some of these funds because these are had earned money and not stolen money, most of these money are by contracts executed by the family. Examples are - BP's $900m 2007 Libyan oil exploration contract, Owns shares in Juventus football club, Italian oil gian Eni, and Pearson, the parent company of Penguin and the Financial Times, Has had dealings with numerous Western financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase and the Carlyle Group.
Due to the fear of our assets freeze, I have been able to move some money to through security means as consignment and deposited it into a security house in London, where I registered them as personal effect. Six consignments with the sum of US$23,500,000.00 in each is safe and now, I want you to help me receive one. Please note that further details will be made available upon proper understanding of the parties involved to avoid misunderstanding and that the money is not gotten from any illegal activities.
I am offering 35% and you will also help me invest 65% of my share into any lucrative business in your country, where your government will not take much tax from it, if you can, but if not please keep it safe for me until everything goes quiet.
I guarantee you that this venture is risk free. If you are interest, please, get back to me on mustafazarti6@yahoo.com for further details, and if not, please delete this letter and do not inform anyone about it.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr Mustafa M. Zarti

Just too funny. It would be interesting to know just how many people really fall for this. Someone must or else people would stop coming up with these things. *snort*
