Mike Uju is not a Beninoise name...

Uju is Igbo (my girl's name incidentally), and there is no Midombo-Togo express way! Reply him in French if you can, and if he can't then bingo. But anyways, the mail is fake, trust me.

These are the idiots giving my country a bad name!

 

[djleli]

[Mr. Gol]

What the hell, it's actually listed on Wikipedia? Cool!

 

[Zlatan]

Everything is listed on Wikipedia

Best Regards, Barrister Mike Uju.

1) Mike Uju is not a Beninoise name. Uju is an Igbo name, and the Igbos are predominantly found in Nigeria.

2) The word "Barrister" is the English form of address for a lawyer. The Benin Republic was a French colony.

3) The French judicial system is inquest based. This means the judges don't let the grass grow under their feet. If a man dies intestate, or with all his family, the judges will thoroughly investigate the deceased's estate, and discovering no heirs, will declare the estate the property of the government.

4) This is a scam mail aka 419 mail.

5) It only catches those who are too greedy to weigh the mail for its true value, hence most victims are actually greedy people.

6) These are the fuckers giving my country a bad name, and I hate them.
