From: Almendo

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. The message could be strange but real if you pay some attention to it. I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies. In bringing this message of goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains.

I am Mr. A. Savimbi, son of the late rebel leader Jonas Savimbi of Angola who was killed on the 22nd of February 2002 . I managed to get your contact details through the internet myself Time is of the importance and I was desperately looking for a person to assist me in this confidential business.

My late father, Jonas Savimbi was able to deposit a large sum of money in different security firms in Europe and Ghana. My father is presently death and the movement of his family members (including me) is restricted. We are forbidden to either travel broad or out of our localities. Presently our movement are monitored. Right now there is a rush for all my Father's wealth but home and Abroad by the Government who are claiming that most of the wealth was got by Arms smuggling and therefore illegal and by my father,s extended family and relations.

You can know more about my father by checking his profile at URL below:

[deleted]

His wealth has been estimated to be $500 million to over $1 billion and being close to my father I happen to be in possession of documents and information of some of the wealth.Approx. $250 million and only my trusted mother knows that I have this information.

Presently, the US$100,000,000.00 (One Hundred Million Dollars) cash and precious materials my father moved to Europe and Ghana before his death is deposited with some security firm . Before you can get access to it I have to give you the some hits.

I am therefore soliciting your help to travel to Europe/Ghana in west Africa to recieve this money and transfer into your account before my government get wind of this fund .You know my father was a rebel leader in Angola before his death. My reason for doing this is because it will be difficult for the Angolan government to trace my father's money to an individual's account, especially when such an individual has no relationship,I decided to keep that money for my family use. At present the money is kept with some Security Companies in Europe and Ghana

I am currently and temporarily living in Angola and as refugee status,I intend to communication with you as regards this transaction on a satellite phone to avoid intervention by anybody.

Moreover, the political climate in Angola at the moment being so sensitive and unstable.With this password and information and I will send you a power of attorney to the security firm, When you are ready I will give you the information needed before you can get access to 7,000kg of AU gold dust, 8500kg of pure Diamond and raw cash of USD100 million America dollars. you will then proceed to Ghana for collection.

PLEASE YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY IN THIS TRANSACTION IS HIGHLY REQUIRED.

Yours sincerely,

Almendo S. Savimbi

Lagos-Nigeria.

Attn:President/Ceo. STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL RE: TRANSFER OF US$21.5 MILLION (TWENTY ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS ONLY). I am contacting you based on information and esteem recommendation I received of you from a high ranking official in the commercial section of the Nigerian Chambers of Commerce and Industry who guaranteed your reliability and trustworthyness in business dealings. This business proposal I wish to intimate you with is of mutual benefit and it's success is entirely based on mutual trust, cooperation and a high level of confidentiality as regard this transaction. I am the Chairman of the contract Award/Advisory Committee (CAAC) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I am seeking your assistance to enable me transfer the sum of US$21,500,000.00 (Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) into your private/company account. The fund came about as a result of a contract awarded and executed on behalf of my Ministry the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation. The contract was supposed to be awarded to two foreign contractors to the tune of US$65,000,000.00 (Sixty Four Million United States Dollars). But in the course of negotiation, the contract was awarded to a Bulgarian contractor at the cost of US$43,500,000.00 (Forty-Three Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) to my benefit unknown to the contractor. This contract has been satisfactorily executed and inspected as the Bulgarian firm is presently securing payment from my Ministry, where I am the Executive Director in-charge of all foreign contract payment approval. As a civil servant still in active government service, I am forbidden by law to operate an account outside the shores of Nigeria. Hence this message to you seeking your assistance so as to enable me present your private/company account details as a beneficiary of contractual claims alongside that of the Bulgarian contractor, to enable me transfer the difference of US$21,500,000.00 (Twenty One Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) into your provided account. On actualisation, the fund will be disbursed as stated below.

1. 30% of the fund will be for you as beneficiary

2. 5% for reimbursement to both parties for incidental expenses that may be incurred during the course of the transaction.

Of course it is YOU who will be expected to pay upfront, trusting in a reimbursement later from this mysterious and non existent pot of gold, but not until they have played you for a few weeks to build up your trust.

3. 65% of the fund will be for me and my colleagues which we intend to invest in your country with you as my partner.

We have strong reliable connections and contacts at the Central Bank of Nigeria, as well as the Federal Ministry of Finance and we have no doubt that all the money will be released and transferred if we get the necessary foreign partner to assist us in this deal. Therefore,when the business is successfully concluded we shall through our same connections withdraw all documents used from all the concerned Government Ministries for 100% security.

I would require the following: -

1. Your company's name,address,telephone and fax numbers.

2. Your bank account and address where the money will be remitted.

The above information would be used to make formal applications as a matter of procedure for the release of the money and onward transfer to your account. It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of this nature described here. The assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it out to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies or firms of unrelated fields win major contracts and subcontracts to more specialized firms for execution of such contracts. All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for a smooth actualisation of the transaction within the next few working days of commencement. For further details as to the workability of this transaction, Please contact me immediately through my telephone number whether or not you are interested in this deal.If you are not,it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal. Butwhere you are interested,send the required documents aforementioned herein through my above E-MAIL ,or please respond by return mail on my confidential E-mail address: a_1969@arabia.COM ,as time is of the essence in this business.

Dear Sir,

First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and "top secret". We are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review anel who are interested in importation of goods into our country with funds that are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to commence This business, we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said-trapped funds.

The source of the fund is as follows: During the regime of the last Military transitional government of Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, government officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over invoiced in various ministries. The present democratic government of President Olusegun Obasanjo set up the Contract Review Panel and we have identified a lot of inflated contract funds that are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment. However, by virtue of our position as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot acquire this money in our names.

My colleagues in the panel have therefore delegated me as a matter of trust, to look for an oversea partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$31,320,000.00 (Thirty-One Million, Three Hundred and Twenty thousand United States Dollars) in which we hope to use in purchasing Agro Allied Equipment, and to enable us to own properties and invest in the stable economy of your country.

Hence, we are sending you this email message. We have agreed to share the money thus:

1. 20% for the account owner (you)

2. 70% for us (the officials of the CRP)

3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses.

Please acknowledge receipt of this message for proper briefing on the safe modality for the execution to Email: edwardbrume@fedminofworks.com

Yours faithfully

Dear Friend,

This contact has become imperative based on the recent tribulation in Zimbabwe which has led to my present predicament. I am therefore using this medium to appeal to your good conscience to come to my rescue and the rescue of my family. I am Mr. Tim Mcquitty a white commercial farmer from Zimbabwe and I got your contact from one of my business directories. I was born and bred in Zimbabwe to the best of my knowledge,my parents and grandparents lived all their lives in Zimbabwe africa.I have also lived all my life in Zimbabwe and so has all members of my family, therefore it is right to call me a Zimbabwean though white, I am by law a Zimbabwean. I have little or no knowledge of my roots save for the fact that my forefathers as I was told,hailed from Australia,which I have never visited all my life.It is pertinent that I tell you all this so that you can come to a full comprehension of the ill treatment that I have received from the Zimbabwean government of late.

The government of Robert Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe, in the year 2000 promulgated an abbysmal land law, the fast tract land resettlement program, aimed at taking land from the rich white commercial farmers in Zimbabwe and given it to the so called poor natural inhabitants of Zimbabwe, the black Zimbabweans, who as the president claimed are the rightful owners of these land. To this effects,our lands, including the lands where our personal houses where built on have been taking from us, rendering us homeless. In pursuance to this law, the so called natural inhabitants, the black Zimbabweans, have committed serious human rights violations in the process of forcefully taking our lands from us. Many of our white brothers were maimed, killed and rendered homeless. Those of us that are alive now live in fear.

As the victim of this inhuman treatment, I have been rendered homeless, that I now live in a village in the far north of Manica land, Zimbabwe,where I have to travel 100 kilometers to send this mail to you. We were hoping that the international community will come to our rescue, but this hope has been dashed since all we hear is that the international community is still appealing to the Zimbabwean government to reconsider the law,which clearly has fallen on deaf ears,since most of us have been relegated to abject poverty and homelessness while living in fear.All our properties have been confiscated including our bank accounts which have been frozen.The rest of us who managed to flee Zimbabwe at the inception of this law are now the lucky ones. My dear friend,I have lost all I worked for all my life. As a tobacco farmer I have lost both my farm land and all my financial resources in Zimbabwe. I only have one hope left,which is to leave Zimbabwe alive. I am using this medium to appeal to you to come to my rescue and that of my family by helping us get out of Zimbabwe to a safe abode,where we can start life afresh again.I have some money in London Which I deposited there in a security firm to enable float an export and import company to facilitate the transportation of my farm produce which was costing me alot. I cannot reach the money because of my present isolation,moreover I do not have a bank account anymore in Zimbabwe to facilitate bank to bank transfer. I need your help to withdraw this money as all the documents neccessary for this withdrawal is still in my possession so that I can leave Zimbabwe as soon as possible and settle down with my family in your country. Please endeavour to try and help me as you will be greatly rewarded for your effort. I thank you for your anticipated cooperation as I await your response to this mail.

Regards,

Mr Tim Mcquitty

You will be surprise to receive this letter since you don't know me personally, friends are found and friends are made,but so treat this request as a call from somebody in dire need of your kind assistance, but for the purpose of introduction. i am semenya DANJUMA the eldest son of Dr.SAM DANJUMA, who was recently murdered with other whites in the land dispute violence in Zimbabwe last year.

My late father was among the few black-Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the KILLER-SQUAD of the ruling party Zimbabwean government of President Robert Mugabe on the 12th of March 2001,for his alleged support and sympathy for the opposition party controlled by the whites and this crisis and cold blood-murdered reports, we communicates to the whole world through BBC, CNN, and even the UNITED NATIONS general assembly meeting for heads of government of member nations.

Before his death, he had taken me to Nigeria to deposit the sum of US$25 MILLION (TWENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) with a security and finace company for safe-keeping as if he foresaw the looming danger that could erupt from the farm struggle in Zimbabwe. This money was earmarked for the purchase of machineries and agro-chemicals for the farmes and the establishment of new farms settlements in Lesotho and Swaziland.

This land problem arose when president Robert mugabe introduced a new land acts which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some objective blacks vehemently condemned the modus operandi adopted by the government.

This resulted to forceful ejection of whites from their lands, rampant killings, arson and mob actions by the war veterans and some political thugs. precisely, more than one hundred and seven (107) people have been killed and many others maimed for life have reported of more killings have been reported in the farm land violence.

Heads of government from the western world, especially Britain andthe United States of America have voiced their condemnation over mugabe's obnoxious land acts. Subsequently the Southern African development community (S.A.D.I) and Nigeria has continuously supported mugabe'snew land reform Acts. It is against this backgroud that I and my family who are currently staying in Nigeria have decided to transfer this money out of Nigeria into a trusted foreign account.

As the eldest son of my late father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transfered to, without the knowledge of Zimbabwean government who have tactically frozen my family's wealth. Secondly, my mother is presently sick and the need to fly her out for a medical operation on her is very important, but how can we fly with out this fund.

Presently, we are residing temporarily in Lagos pending the outcome of an appeal filed on our behalf by our attorney for the department of internal Afairs to grant us asylum status. At the moment we in dilemma to the fiscal laws inhibiting Nigerian Refugees on monetary policy. We request that this request should be granted so that we can be able to transfer this money to your nominated account outside Nigeria for investment purpose,and to buy a home where wewill live.

I must let you know that this is confidential and your assistance will pose no risk toyou or us as far as you keep it secret, the modalities to this transfer is ready with the help of our family lawyer and my late father's associate here in Nigeria, who by his help we have finished all the arrangement, the way this money should be transfered easily. But the problem we are facing is how to get an honesty and responsible person that can keep this money safe and stand as the beneficuiary.

That is why this proposal comes to you. What percent will We offer you of this total sum for your assistance. So that you will sincerely assist us with the whole of your heart to transfer this fund into your nominated bank account,please send e-mail to me as quickly as possible, give me your phone number and fax for more confidentialities. I am looking forward with a view to hearing from you . Retgards

Dear Sir/Madam

SEEKING YOUR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.

Please Permit me to make your acquaintance in so informal a manner. This is necessitated by my urgent need to reach a dependable and trust wordy foreign partner. This request may seem strange and unsolicited but I will crave your indulgence and pray that you view it seriously. My name is COL. BAVINGA ABE of the Democratic Republic of Congo and One of the close aides to the former President of the Democratic Republic of Congo LAURENT KABILA of blessed memory, may his soul rest in peace.

Due to the military campaign of LAURENT KABILA to force out the rebels in my country, I and some of my colleagues were instructed by Late President Kabila to go abroad to purchase arms and ammunition worth of Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only (US$20,500,000.00) to fight the rebel group. We were then given this money privately by the then President, LAURENT KABILA, without the knowledge of other Cabinet Members. But when President Kabila was killed in a bloody shoot-out by one of his aide a day before we were schedule to travel out of Congo, We immediately decided to put the funds into a private security company here in Congo for safe keeping. The security of the said amount is presently being threatened here following the arrest and seizure of properties of Col. Rasheidi Karesava (One of the aides to Laurent Kabila) a tribesman, and some other Military Personnel from our same tribe, by the new President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the son of late President Laurent Kabila, Joseph Kabila.

In view of this, we need a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner who can assist us to move this money out of my country as the beneficiary. WE have sufficient ''CONTACTS'' here to move the fund under Diplomatic Cover to a security company in Europe in your name. This is to ensure that the Diplomatic Baggage is marked ''CONFIDENTIAL'' and it will not pass through normal custom/airport screening and clearance.

Our inability to move this money out of Congo all this while lies on our lack of trust on our supposed good friends (western countries) who suddenly became hostile to those of us who worked with the late President Kabila, immediately after his son took office. Though we have neither seen nor met each other, the information We gathered from an associate who has worked in your country has encouraged and convinced us that with your sincere assistance, this transaction will be properly handled with modesty and honesty to a huge success within two weeks. The said money is a state fund and therefore requires a total confidentiality.

We would please need you to stand on our behalf as the beneficiary of this fund in Europe. This is because we are under restricted movement and watch and hence we want to be very careful in other not to lose this fund, which we have worked so hard for. Thus, if you are willing to assist us move this fund out of Congo, you can contact me through my email address, Tel/Fax nos. above with your telephone, fax number and personal information to enable us discuss the modalities and what will be your share (percentage) for assisting us.

Please note that There are no RISKS involved in this Deal as every ones Security is Guaranteed as far as we follow the required guidelines. I will hence furnish you with further details of this Deal as soon as I am assured of your sincere interest to assist us.

I must use this opportunity and medium to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily confidential, whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response.

Thank you and God Bless.

Best Regards COL. BAVINGA ABE (RTD). (bavinga1_abelang@phantomemail.com)

Strictly Confidential & Urgent Business Proposal.

Re: Transfer Of Usd $21,500.000{Twenty - One Million, Five Hundred Thousand Us Dollars Only. I am a member of the Federal Government Of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C). Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in the Petroleum Trust Fund (P.T.F.) BY MY COMMITTEE.

This contract was over invoiced to the tune of us$ 21.5Million Dollars. This was done delibrately. The over - invoicing was a deal by my committee to benefit from the project.

Kindly contact me as soon as possible, whether or not you are interested in this deal, so that whereby you are not interested, it would give us more room to scout for another partner. But if you are interested, kindly contact me via above email, telephone or fax, so that we can swing into action, as time is not on our part.

I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.

Dear Friend,

My name is MR GARUBA USENI the eldest son of Rtd General JEREMAIAH. J. T. USENI who was the est. while Minister of the Federal Capital territory Abuja in the late General Sani Abacha's Regime of 1993-1998. I am contacting you in a benevolent spirit; utmost confidence and trust to enable us provide a solution to a money transfer of $38.5M that is presently putting my entire family into great disarray. You may be quite surprised at my sudden contact to you but do not despair, I got your contact from a business site on the internet and following the information I gathered about you, I was convinced that you could be of assistance to me. So, I decided to contact you at once due to the urgency required for us to immediately transfer the said funds out of the country.

During the time my father was in the government with the late General Sani Abacha as the head of state, they were both involved in several deals that yielded Billions of Dollars. The prominent amongst the deals was monies that emanated from funds set aside for the importation of Arms and Ammunitions to boost the Nigerian Defense, funds set to embark on an oversea campaign to counter the United States action to put a stop to the self succession bid of the Abacha's government to retain power, and monies set aside to rehabilitate the ailing Nigerian Petroleum Refineries and the National Electric Power Authority which supplies Electricity to the entire nation. If you are conversant with world news, you would understand better.

During this period my father was able to make some good money for himself and kept in his private bank accounts. The then head of state General Sani Abacha transferred his share of the money through a Lebanese businessman, Chagoury and a Jewish businessman, Mark Rissar to bank accounts overseas. Unfortunately, all the secrets were revealed by the investigation agencies set up by the successive governments and most of the Abacha's loots were traced and repatriated from the various accounts to the Federal Government Treasury.

Out of the money my father made, he left the sum of N50 Million (Fifty Million Naira) in the CBN escrow account for further transfer into a foreign account and a sum of $38.5M (Thirty Eight million Five Hundred ThousandS Dollars) was kept in a Private security firm here in Nigeria. Through the confessions made by the Abacha's Family, the N50 Million was recovered by the investigating agency from the CBN escrow account. But were unable to discover the $38.5M, which he kept in the vaults. The reason is because no names were used to lodge in the funds. Instead, he used PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (PIN) and declared the contents as Bearer Bonds and Treasury Bills. Also the firm issued him with a certificate of deposit of the consignments. Note that I have these information in my custody. Right now, my father has been arrested and detained for interrogation. As the eldest son of my Father, I believe that I owe the entire family an obligation to ensure that the $38.5M is successfully transferred abroad for investment purposes. With the present situation, I cannot do it all by myself. It is based on this that I am making this contact with you. I have done a thorough homework and fine-tuned the best way to create you as the beneficiary to the funds and effect the transfer accordingly. Is rest assured that the modalities I have resolved to finalize the entire project guarantees our safety and the successful transfer of the funds. So, you will be absolutely right when you say that this project is risk free and viable. If you are capable and willing to assist, contact me at once via email: garuba_useni001@yahoo.com OR garuba_useni002@fastermail.com for more details.

Believe me, there is no one else we can trust again. All my fathers' friends have deserted us after exploiting us on the pretence of trying to help my father. As it is said, "it is at the time of problems that you know your true friends". So long as you keep everything to yourself, we would definitely have no problems. For your assistance, I am ready to give you as much as 30% of the total funds after transfer and invest a reasonable percentage into any viable business you may suggest. Please, I need your assistance to make this happen and please; do not undermine it because it will also be a source of up liftment to you also. You have absolutely nothing to loose in assisting us instead, you have so much to gain. Awaiting your urgent and positive response.

BEST REGARDS,

However, I came to know of you in my private search for a reliable and trustworthy person that can handle a confidential transaction of this nature in respect to our investment plans in real estate. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.

Let me start by first, introducing myself properly to you. I am MR. SMITH K.GEORGE a Branch Manager at one of the Zenith Commercial Bank Nigeria Plc, Lagos.

A foreigner, Late barry kelly, a Civil Engineer/Contractor with the federal Government of Nigeria, until his death three years ago in a ghastly air crash, banked with us here at the Zenith Commercial Bank PLC, Lagos.He had a closing balance of USD$25.5M (Twenty five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which the bank now unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his available foreign next of kin. Or, alternatively be donated to a discredited trust fund for arms and ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria.

Fervent valuable efforts made by the Zenith Bank to get in touch with any of late barry kelly?s next of kin (he had no known wife and children) has been unsuccessful. The management under the influence of our chairman and board of directors, are making arrangement for the fund to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE " and then be subsequently donated to the trust fund for Arms and Ammunition which will further enhance the course of war in Africa and the world in general.

In order to avert this negative development. Myself and some of my trusted colleagues in the bank, now seek for your permission to have you stand as late barry kelly?s next of kin. So that the fund (USD$25.5M), would be subsequently transferred and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary next of kin through our overseas corresponding bank.

All documents and proves to enable you get this fund have been carefully worked out and we are assuring you a 100% risk free involvement. Your share would be 30% of the total amount. While the rest would be for me and my colleagues for purchase of properties in your country through you or your Company.

If this proposal is OK by you, then kindly get to me immediately via my e-mail (sm451@rediffmail.com) furnishing me with your most confidential telephone, fax and e-mail, so I can forward to you the relevant details of this transaction. Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation. Best Regards SMITH K.GEORGE

PLS IF YOU ARE INTRESTED REPLY TO MY PRIVATE EMAIL:(sm451@rediffmail.com)

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO.

Dear Friend,

SEEKING YOUR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.

Please Permit me to make your acquaintance in so informal a manner. This is necessitated by my urgent need to reach a dependable and trust wordy foreign partner. This request may seem strange and unsolicited but I will crave your indulgence and pray that you view it seriously. My name is COL KUKU JOHNSON of the Democratic Republic of Congo and One of the close aides to the former President of the Democratic Republic of Congo LAURENT KABILA of blessed memory, may his soul rest in peace.

Due to the military campaign of LAURENT KABILA to force out the rebels in my country, I and some of my colleagues were instructed by Late President Kabila to go abroad to purchase arms and ammunition worth of Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only (US$20,500,000.00) to fight the rebel group. But when President Kabila was killed in a bloody shoot-out by one of his aide a day before we were schedule to travel out of Congo, We immediately decided to divert the fund into a private security company here in Congo for safe keeping. The security of the said amount is presently being threatened here following the arrest and seizure of properties of Col.Rasheidi Karesava (One of the aides to Laurent Kabila) a tribesman, and some other Military Personnel from our same tribe, by the new President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the son of late President Laurent Kabila, Joseph Kabila.

In view of this, we need a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner who can assist us to move this money out of my country as the beneficiary. WE have sufficient ''CONTACTS'' to move the fund under Diplomatic Cover to a security company in the europe in your name. This is to ensure that the Diplomatic Baggage is marked ''CONFIDENTIAL'' and it will not pass through normal custom/airport screening and clearance. Our inability to move this money out of Congo all This while lies on our lack of trust on our supposed good friends (western countries) who suddenly became hostile to those of us who worked with the late President Kabila, immediately after his son took office. Though we have neither seen nor met each other, the information We gathered from an associate who has worked in your country has encouraged and convinced us that with your sincere assistance, this transaction will be properly handled with modesty and honesty to a huge success within two weeks. The said money is a state fund and therefore requires a total confidentiality.

Thus, if you are willing to assist us move this fund out of Congo, you can contact me through my email address above with your telephone, fax number and personal information to enable us discuss the modalities and what will be your share (percentage) for assisting us. I must use this opportunity and medium to implore You to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this Matter extraordinarily confidential, Whatever your Decision, while I await your prompt response.

Thank you and GodBless.

Best Regards

COL KUKU JOHNSON.

REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and "top secret". We are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel who are interested in importation of goods into our country with funds that are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to commence this business, we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said- trapped funds.

The source of the fund is as follows: During the regime of the last Military transitional government of Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, government officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over invoiced in various ministries. The present democratic government of President Olusegun Obasanjo set up the Contract Review Panel and we have identified a lot of inflated contract funds that are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment. However, by virtue of 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 in the panel, to look for an oversea partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$31,320,000.00 (Thirty-One Million, Three Hundred and Twenty thousand United States Dollars) in which we hope to use in purchasing Agro Allied equipment, and to enable us to own properties and invest in the stable economy of your country. Hence, we are sending you this email message. We have agreed to share the money thus:

1. 20% for the account owner (you)

2. 70% for us (the officials of the CRP)

3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses.

Due to our poor Telecommunication system and for purpose of strict confidentiality you are to respond via bako@usa.com. Please acknowledge receipt of this message for proper briefing on the safe modality for the execution.

Yours faithfully

Dr. Rasheed Bako

Dear Martin Willett, *

* The bastards have been searching newsgroup postings via Google Groups and removing the spam blocking measures. Have they automated this process? No need to. It wouldn't be hard to remove all UPPERCASE letters from anything that would otherwise seem to be a valid email address. Naturally only valid email addresses would be "protected" by such obvious measures. I anticipated this move a couple of years previously. Now I only use a disposable, but real, email address for such posting. The sooner the death penalty is introduced for email spamming the better for the future of humanity.

First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of its nature as being strictly CONFIDENTIAL and a TOP SECRET.

Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.

For one party to the deal at least.

We decided to contract you due to the urgency of this transaction; we shall be relying on a dependable experience and a reliably discreteness and useful ability in transactions of this nature.

Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am MR. DAVID OGBEiDE, a director with the Universal Trust Bank, Lagos, Nigeria. I came to know of you through my private search for a reliable and trust-worthy person to handle this confidential transaction which involves the transfer of a fairly huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence.

THE PROPOSITION:

A foreigner, Late Engineer Bill Carr, an Oil Merchant/Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria, who, until his death two years ago in a ghastly plane crash; banked with us here at the Universal Trust Bank, Lagos; and had a closing balance of US$10.5M (Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars); which the bank now, unquestionably, expected his next-of-kin to claim; failure which will cause the bank to donate the said money to the Nigerian Army, for the procurement of arms and ammunition for its Arsenal.

Arsenal with a capital A? He must be a football fan!

Fervent efforts are being made by the Universal Trust Bank to get in touch with any member of the Carr family or any relatives at all, but all has been to no avail. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any member of Late Engineer Bill Carr's family (he had no known wife and children, at least, going by the documents we have on him); that the management, under the leadership of our chairman, retired Major General Uzoka Umezeoke and some members of the Board of Directors, decided that an arrangement be made for the funds to be declared UNCLAIMED; and consequently, be donated to the Federal Security Fund, principally for the purchase of Arms and Ammunition for the Nigerian Armed Forces; to further enhance their combat readiness.

In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted colleagues and I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next-of-kin to Late Engr. BILL CARR; so that the US$10.5M would be released and paid into your bank account as the account owner's next-of-kin. All documents and proofs to enable you lay claim to this money shall be carefully worked out, and more so, we are assuring you of a 100% risk-free involvement.

Your share goes to you, while the rest would be for myself and my colleagues for investment purposes in suitable economies abroad and a percentage of it re-invested here, in Nigeria, through importation of some valuable consumable goods.

We have agreed that, the funds will be shared thus (after it has been transferred into your account) 1. 20% of the money will go to you for acting as the account owner's next-of-kin

2. 5% will be set aside for reimbursement to both parties for any incidental expenses incurred in the course of the transfer.

Of course it is YOU who will be expected to pay these incidental expenses upfront, trusting in a reimbursement later from this mysterious and non existent pot of gold, but not until they have played you for a few weeks to build up your trust. They have to get you to believe all the money is real.

3. 75% to us, the originators of the transaction.

For transaction read SCAM. They will not get 75%, there is no money. You only ever get their word for it that there is any money. The point of these scams is for you to believe in the money so much that you are prepared to meet the upfront expenses, probably some entirely unpredictable bribe to a customs official or something of the sort. The only real money is what they get you to invest. The moment any substantial sum gets into their hands you will not see them for dust, they are not waiting for 75% of this crock, they want all you can be persuaded to send them. They will ask for what they think you might be able to raise, borrow or steal for them, they will be flexible, they may take you for $2 million if they can, they may settle for a few thousand, but it's almost all profit.

If this proposal is okay by you and you do not wish to take undue advantage of the trust we hope to bestow on you and your company, then kindly contact me, immediately, via email.

I would expect you to furnish me with your full names, address, personal/confidential telephone and fax numbers and you have to set up a new account in any good bank (or use an existing one); so that I can use these information to quickly make out the documents which we shall submit to the management of the bank as having emanated from the account owner's next-of-kin. After all formalities are completed, we shall quickly follow up with a formal Application for the release and subsequent transfer of the funds from the Universal Trust Bank to your nominated bank account.

Like I already mentioned above, this is strictly confidential. I pray you keep it so.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation.

Yours faithfully,

MR. DAVID OGBEIDE,

DPR, U.T.B., Lagos, Nigeria.
