A Dubai Desert Trip

A European family wanted to spend some time in the Dubai desert on a cool afternoon. Since they did not own a 4x4 they decided to park their car on the side of the road and camp close by. A local man driving by with his 4x4 noticed the car on the side of the road and foot prints leading into the desert. Out of concern he ventured in with his 4x4 and followed the trail to make sure everything was ok. Not too far away he came by the family happily camping and taking pictures. He greeted them and welcomed them to Dubai with some traditional local coffee he kept in his car.  

Who could this kind and generous local man be? The number plate gives it away!! 

BTW... These photos were taken by a member of the European family...

The Black Stig is Back

(YouTube)

Press release:

"Until now, the original Stig from BBC Top Gear was thought to have been killed back in 2003, when he drove a modified Jaguar XJS off the end of HMS Invincible aircraft carrier at 109mph. The nation was shocked that the Stig was dead. However, recent footage has been found on YouTube showing that he miraculously survived.""How he survived, nobody knows. Some believe he used the nitrous octane equipment from the Jag to breathe. Some believe he can communicate with dolphins and they cared for him. Has he returned because he can sense White Stig has had his identity exposed?" (BlackStigBack)

Greetings. 

Dear as it may be of your keen interest. I am Bar.Kelvin Koffi Esq, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Mr. P.B. (My family name here), a national of your country and a contractor with Togo Regional Water Scheme in Lome Togo. Here in after shall be referred to as my client. 

On the 21st of Feb 2002, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Nouvissi express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$20.5 million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the (AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ADB-LOME TOGO) where this huge amount were deposited. 

This said (AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ADB-LOME TOGO) has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated if no response within their next Board Meeting. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 4 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer. 

I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. 

Please get in touch with me directly at my private email for more details. (k.kelvin42@yahoo.com) 

Best Regards.
