FOLKS,
I am going to forward a series of emails, the same that a lot of us have 
received from dubious sources. It is in line with the same stuff that Sheikh 
Tejan Nyang has forwarded to compare notes, and  i had intended to take you 
up on that Sheikh, but was too busy at the time. These are so unbelievable 
that I just have to share them with you, and I think ti will also serve as 
evidence of the disgusting element amongst us on our continent, and a first 
hand look at this kind of stuff will perhaps highlight the distaste of 
corruption and dishonesty in it's many facets, and the evil that is one of 
the things hindering our progress. Here goes.
