Q: So the Nigerian Royle family are French?

How many of you got this in your inbox?
Greetings my dear,

My name is Mrs. Anna Pareja, am a citizen of France and I am very sorry for the attachment, I am a 70 years old woman. I was married to late Engr. Charles Pareja who is my husband, and also one of the best contractors in France, he was also a seasoned contractor in Ivory Coast but He was poisoned to death on 7th July 2015 doing his business contract in Ivory Coast.

My late husband and I were married for many years without a child of our own and after his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. As I speak to you, I have been diagnosed with congested heart failure, of which the doctors have confirmed and told me that I would not live long. After my husband passed away last year, I realized he deposited a huge sum of money with one of the Security Company there in Ivory Coast.

The money that was deposited in the Security company was a total of ($3.500.000.00 USD) Three Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars. as I write to you, I feel that the money in the Security company would be a waste if I die and that is why I have come to a conclusion of donating the money out to any individual who can use the money to help the less privileges, schools and also the mother less babies home.

I am taking this decision because I don't have any  child or devoted relations whose behavior has left  much to be desired and above all I don't want a  situation where this money will be used in an  ungodly manner, that is why I took this bold decision to contact  you a total stranger since my health is regressing by the minute, you will have to send me an Email with my Email address below and tell me a little about yourself because I contacted you after going through your profile on this site for friendship and assistance for distribution of my inheritance, Please my dear friend I have come to you to help me carry out this last wish of mine earth because I am too weak to move about and also have been confined to a wheel chair due to the state of my health.

It is true that I don't know you, but I have been directed by God to do this. If you wish to help me, write back to me at your earliest convenience so that I would direct you on how to contact the Security Company for the transfer of the funds to you in whichever way you may wish to nominate for this purpose. 30% of the money is allocated to you to ensure that you are prepared for the task; the balance 70% of this money will be used by you in all sincerity to fund philanthropic organization, charitable activities and Build a School for the less privileges, I will give you my late husbands lawyer contact information in Ivory Coast because my late husband went with him to deposit the money to the security company there so he will guide you on how to contact the security company, I am giving you his information because I may not be able to carry this out myself because I am weak less privileged talk or write much, so please contact me with my private Email address below for more details.

I await your urgent respond at my Private Email Address below:  parejam38@yahoo.com

Thanks for your kindness and God Bless you,

Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Anna Pareja.

I got one like this in the early 2000s, in my inbox, sent a reply saying, "the whole world knows these African scams,  even if you manage to con a few, all your future generations will be marked as crooks from the land of thieves".  Never received any such stupid email scam again, ie up to now.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
