DEAR SIR,

I KNOW THIS MAIL WILL COME TO YOU AS A BIG SURPRISE. WELL, YOU DO NOT
KNOW ME, AND WE HAVE NOT MET BEFORE. IT WILL BE NICE IF I INTRODUCE MY
SELF OFFICIALLY TO YOU BEFORE I GO ON WITH WHY I AM CONTACTING YOU. I AM
DR CLIFFORD OBI, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CONTRACT REVIEW, EVALUATION AND
PAYMENT PANEL OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. IN SEARCH FOR A
RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY PERSON, I DECIDED TO SEARCH FOR SOMEBODY WITH A GOOD
CHARACTER WHICH LED ME TO THE SEARCH IN THE IRECTORY "International
Federation of Marfan Syndrome Organizations" WHERE I FOUND YOUR EMAIL
HOPING THAT I WILL TRUST YOU WITH THIS TRANSACTION.

I HAVE A PROPOSAL FOR YOU WHICH WILL HELP YOU TO EXPAND YOUR FINANCIAL
BASE, AND ON THE OTHER HAND HELP ME AND MY COLLEGUES TO PLAN FOR OUR
OLD AGE AND RETIRMENT AS WE CIVIL SERVANTS HERE ARE NOT WELL PAID. THERE
IS THIS $17.6M USD THAT IS LEFT AFTER WE PAID ALL THE LOCAL AND FOREIGN
CONTRACTORS LAST YEAR. I AND MY COLLEGUES CANNOT JUST LAY HOLDS ON THIS
MONEY AS WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY CLAIMS ON IT. SO WE DECIDED THAT WE ARE
GOING TO LOOK FOR A FOREIGNER WHO WE CAN PRESENT AS A CONTRACTOR AND
TRANSFER THE MONEY TO HIM. THEN I AND MY COLLEGUES CAN HELP OUR SELVES
THROUGH THIS MEDIUM.

I WANT TO USE YOUR NAME AS A FOREIGN CONTRACTOR WHO DID ONE CONTRACT
HERE, THEN THE FUND CAN BE TRANSFERD TO YOU. ALL WE NEED FROM YOU TO MAKE
THIS TRANSFER JUST WITHIN 48 HOURS ARE THE FOLLOWING;
1. AN ACCOUNT WHERE THE FUND WILL BE TRANSFERED.
2. $600 THAT WILL BE USED TO NOMALISE THE ACCOUNT BY AN ATTORNEY BEFORE
THE TRANSFER. AS SOON AS I RECIEVE THE ACCOUNT PARTICULARS, AND THE
$600, I SHALL MEET WITH THE ATTORNEY WHO WILL NORMALISE THE ACCOUNT. IF
YOU ARE ABLE TO SEND THE ACCOUNT AND THE $600 BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT
WEEK, I SHALL MAKE SURE THAT THE FUND IS TRANSFERD BEFORE THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT MONTH BECAUSE AS SOON AS THE ACCOUNT IS NORMALISED, EVERYTHING IS
LEFT FOR ME TO ENDORSE THE TRANSFER AND WITHOUT DELAY, THE FUND $17.6M
(SEVENTEEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND USD ONLY) WILL BE IN THE
ACCOUNT YOU WILL PROVIDE.

THEN, I WILL REQUIRE YOU TO DO THESE FOR ME,
1. YOU WILL HELP ME WITH AN INVITATION LETTER THAT WILL HELP ME TO GET
MY VISA TO TRAVEL TO MEET WITH YOU IN YOUR COUNTRY TO PICK OUR OWN
SHARE OF THE FUND.
2. YOU WILL ALSO HELP US WITH A RESEARCH ON THE BEST AREA WE CAN INVEST
OUR SHARE AS WE WILL LIKE TO DO THAT IN A MORE STABLE ECONOMY LIKE
YOURS.

NOTE THAT WE SHALL LET YOU HAVE 20% OF THIS FUND, AND 80% WILL BE FOR
ME AND MY COLLEQUES. WE WILL REALLY PPRECIATE YOUR SWIFT RESPONSE TO
THIS PROPOSAL SO THAT WE CAN EFFECT THE TRANSFER SOONEST.

WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU.

YOURS,
DR CLIFFORD OBI.
CHAIRMAN CONTRACT REVIEW PANEL OFFICE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENY)

I got one of these a few years back at a mortgage company I work for and handled the website. They went as far as personalizing it directly to me and my company. But they didn't want money they wanted a bank account number.

I sent them an email because I wanted to see if someone was actually on the other end and wanted to get some trace routes. After this I forwarded it to the FBI Insurance and Commerce division I believe it was.

New scam? The Nigerian 419 scam is the oldest one in the book.

Yeah, if this is new to you, consider yourself lucky. I get "offers" like this at least 2-3 times a week. Boy, I must be really really trustworthy!
