Goat Herder wants to invest $5.6 Million.What is the Motivation behind these scams?


I just finished reading the morning papers and had my two cups of coffee for the day.
I begin my day responding to emails. It`s easy to get a "Jump on the Day" by working early in the morning. This morning I received the funniest of emails offering me a chance to assist someone who is affiliated with the Sudanese Petroleum Commission. Nice name, I`m positive they`re an S-Corp working out of a Tiki Hut!
I often wonder the motivation behind these stupid Scams. How in the world, could anyone in their right mind be fooled by these letters offering millions of dollars providing you give them "You`re Bank Account"....
This brazen scamer is willing to "Give Me" $5.6 million in cash no less.... I can picture these guys sitting on a milk crates sending email after email to unsuspecting souls.I`m sure they to it in tandem one letter at a time as the chickens and the goats are left unattended too..... I guess it beats working for a living, who knows..!
Below the email sent to me this AM..

"Dear Sir,
On May 03, 2008 I wrote a mail enquiring if you or your organisation would like to help me to invest and manage a US$5.6 million in your country. I am afraid that you have not received the mail because I am yet to receive an answer from you.
I would deeply appreciate your answer with recommendations on viable investment opportunities in your country with moderate amount of risk and a decent return. Upon our agreement, I shall complete arrangements to move funds over to you either by direct deposit to your bank account or Cash delivery via special arrangement. I am suggesting compensation payment of 20% for you. This amount is the very most I can afford, especially in light of other expenses related to the transaction. Thanks for your anticipated help in this matter. With sincere thanks, Dr. Bullen Bol, MDSudanese Petroleum Commission
