I've gotten a lot of odd emails, but this one has to be one of the best...reminds me of the saying, "If it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is..."
But I'm probably blowing my 20% of $31,000,000

Sir,
Request for Urgent Business Relationship.
First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. This is by
virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. We shall
be counting on your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of
great magnitude involving a pending business transaction requiring
maximum confidence.
We are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel who
are interested in importation of goods into our country with
funds which are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to commence this
business we solicit your assistance to enable us RECIEVE the
said trapped funds ABROAD.
The source of this fund is as follows : During the regime of our late
head of state, Gen. Sani Abacha, the government officials set up
companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly
over-invoiced in various Ministries. The NEW CIVILIAN Government
set up a Contract Review Panel (C.R.P) and we have identified a lot of
inflated contract funds which are presently floating in the Central
Bank of Nigeria (C.B.N). However, due to our position as civil servants
and members of this panel, we cannot acquire this money in our
names. I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust by my
colleagues of the panel to look for an Overseas partner INTO whose
ACCOUNT the sum of US$31,000,000.00 (Thirty one Million United States
Dollars) WILL BE PAID BY TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER.
Hence we are writing you this letter.
We have agreed to share the money thus:
70% for us (the officials)
20% for the FOREIGN PARTNER (you)
10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses.
It is from this 70% that we wish to commence the importation business.
Please note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope that the funds arrive your
account in latest ten (10) banking days from the date of reciept of the following
information by email: A suitable name and bank account into which the funds can
be paid.
The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job
description respectively.
This way we will use your company's name to
apply for payments and re-award the contract in your company name.
We are looking forward to doing business with you and solicit your
confidentiality in this transaction.
For security reasons, please respond only to the above email address or fax number 234
1 7747907. I will bring you into the complete picture of this pending project when I have
heard from you.
But I'm probably blowing my 20% of $31,000,000
