Kinsleyobi says he has found "abandoned money" at his bank

I always find it strange, that these e-mails always try and suggest that "embezzlement" is a normal business opportunity to be shared with hapless "Mugus". (That is the name the Africans give to their victims. It means something like "Idiot")

This does shed some light on the moral state which is to be found in a lot of African countries.

Talking about morals, don't forget that although corruption and graft may be a way of life for a lot of people in third world countries, it is also rife in our "civilized" western society.

Maybe we should clean up our own morals, before we demand it of others?
