Attention:MY GOOD FRIEND
It is my great pleasure in writing you this letter on behalf of my
colleagues and I. Your particulars were given to me by a member of the
Nigerian Export Promotion Council(NEPC) who was at the Federal Government
Delegation to your country during a trade exhibition. I have decided to
seek a confidential cooperation with you in the execution of the deal
described hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will
keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this business.
Within the Ministry of Petroleum Resources where I work as a Director,
Project Implementation and with the cooperation of four other top
officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totalling
Fourteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand U. S. Dollars(US$14,500,000.00)
which we want to transfer abroad with assistance and cooperation of a
foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a
reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds. Moreso, we are
handicapped in the circumstances as the Nigeria Civil Service Code of
Conduct does not allow us as civil servant to operate offshore accounts,
hence your importance in the whole transaction.
The amount represents the balance of the total contract value executed
on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm which we the
officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have
been paid to the origional contractor, leaving the balance in the tune
of the said amount which we have in principles gotten approval to remit
by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to foreign bank account you will provide
by filing in an application through the Federal Ministry of Justice for
the transfer of rights and privileges of the formal contractor to you.
Since the new civilian government of my country is determined to pay
every foreign contractor all debts owed so as to maintain good
relationship with foreign government and non-governmental financial agencies,
therefore we have decided to include our bills for approvals with the
cooperation of some officials from the Federal Ministry of Finance and the
Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN).</FONT!
We are seeking your assistance in providing a vital account or any
virgin bank account into which we can remit this money by acting as our
main partner and trustee. This we can do by swapping of account and
changing of beneficiary and other forms of documentation upon application for
claim to reflect the payment and approvals to be secured on behalf of
you. This processes being pre-arranged with the principal trustee of the
original contractor and with the consent of the origional contractor. I
have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you
be willing to assist us in this transaction your share of the sum will
be 30% of the US$14.5million, 60% for us and 10% for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses.
The business itself is 100% safe for both parties, provided you treat
it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also your area of
specialization is not an hindrace to the successful execution of this
transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not
disappoint me.
To indicate your willingness in assisting us send your personal phone
numbers and fax numbers via a corresponding e-mail through
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.
Thanks for your co-operations.
Yours faithfully,
Engr. Dapo George

Here's mine - received today (didn't even go into the "Bulk Mail" folder):

MANAGER, ACCOUNTS DEPT.
AFRICAN INTERNATIONAL BANK
LOME- TOGO.

Attn:Sir
I am Dr koffi mensha, the manager in charge of auditing and accounting section of International Bank OF Africa Lome-Togo in west Africa with due respect and regards.

I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction . During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on october 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was US$18.5 m US dollars eighteen million,five hundred thousand US dollars)

As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through web directory . based on the profile conviction we beleive that you be viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem.

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventuallyraise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.
This is theactual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 60% will be for me and mypartners.
Please, you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account. and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to investing.
All other necessary information will be sent to youwhen I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal on my private email as stated above
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Koffi mensha'

You have to almost admire persistance like that - I suppose it's similar to the kid selling lemonade for $1 million dollars a glass. When someone tells him that it's a ridiculous price, he replies:

"Yeah, but I need only ONE customer".
