George Frederick,
Banque Internationale Afrique,
Lome,Togo.

I am George Frederick,the director in charge of auditing and
accounting section of Banque internationale De l'Afrique(BIA) Togo-Lome West Africa.

With due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction 
that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction .
During our investigation and auditing (year ending 2001) in this bank, my department 
came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on 
October 31st 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with 
this Bank without any
claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our 
discovery to this development.

The said amount was U.S $3.2M(Three million two hundred Thousand United States 
dollars). Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the 
bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer of this 
money to a foreign account
has been put in place and the directives and needed information will be relayed to you 
as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit 
your self to this great business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country 
as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account.moreover, 
this may eventually raise an eye
brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the 
actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as 
the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign 
account where
he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due 
verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole 
money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth 
conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 25% of the total sum as 
gratification, while 5% will be set aside
to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone 
bills, while 70% will be for me and my partners.

Please, you are adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and i intend to 
retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the 
whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask 
me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to 
percentages
previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you 
advice us to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when 
I hear from you.

I look forward to receive your mail or your telephone call.

Yours faithfully,
George Frederick.

No, I'm afraid not -- the CD image mirrors don't have trace files, and are
in fact largely disorganized, so you need a whole array of heuristics to
reliably detect WTF is on the mirror :) I've never seen a script that
checked CD image mirrors, only debian/debian-non-US ones.
