(AP) Nairobi, Nigeria -- Prince Alab Swalahari was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his palace in Nairobi on Tuesday. A note next to his body stated that he was despondent that no one would accept his attempt to give away his vast riches.
His brother explained, "Alab had converted to Christianity quite some time ago. All he was trying to do was live a Christ-like life! Christ commands us to give our money to the poor. He tried for over 15 years, sending people emails to give away his money, but all he got back was mockery and hate. I guess it finally became too much for him."
Swalahari had recently been the target of a United States-initiated FBI investigation, and Interpol was scheduled to interview him a few days before his suicide.
Said his mother, "I am so incredibly sad. My son! All he was trying to do was give away his money, and the world would not believe him! Why are people so cruel?"
The fortune Swalahari was attempting to give away totaled more than 46 billion Naira, which is approximately 127 million dollars in United States currency. His lawyer remarked, "Obviously there would be some fees for transfer of this large amount of money, but when we asked for the few thousand dollars to make the transfer happen, not one person was willing to do it..... and several dozen people even contacted the authorities!"
Funeral arrangements will be held at Kenyatta Funeral Parlour, 128 Thiika Hwy South, this coming Wednesday.

A likely story! Obviously a victim of Arkanicide! If only he’d followed through with the scam, and delivered the funds to the Clinton foundation! (The incriminating e-mail is in a folder on Carlos’laptop, mixed in with pictures of yoga pants).
We go back a few months .... hope to have a drink with him before we’re both too old to be stupid.
And “everyone’s a winner*!” , right? Pay no attention to the fine print, where it says, * “due to last minute printing errors, the state, “everyone’s a winner” , should read, “everyone’s a WEINER”.

Very, very dark humor... |
Yeah it’s kind of my fault though because I introduced him to computers and Facebook without warning him of scammers, he was very naive about all that. These scammers made pretend they were beautiful women by sending him photos of other women they took from the net, and they spent months laying down all the charm on him “What a great guy you are” stuff like that, then slowly brought in the scams “I’m having trouble, my mom is about to be evicted” then they would treat him like a hero when he sent money. It went on for 2 years before anyone in my family found out.
LOL
Where can I send an in kind donation ?

Hey Prince, I was only kidding, OK> Who is the executor? I must contact him right away as I have great need for money to distribute the poor.
That’s funny as it gets ....... well done sir !
Don’t you all see the effect that putting these requests in your spam folder can have???
DANG!
