Lagos, nigeria.

Attention: The president/ceo

dear sir,

confidential business proposal

having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the nigerian chambers of commerce and industry, i have the privilege to request for your assistance to transfer the sum of $47,500,000.00 (forty seven million, five hundred thousand united states dollars) into your accounts. The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract, executed commissioned and paid for about five years (5) ago by a foreign contractor. This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at the central bank of nigeria apex bank.

We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for us, 25% for you and 5% for local and international expenses incident to the transfer.

The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an accountant with the nigerian national petroleum corporation (nnpc). If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents:

(a) your banker's name, telephone, account and fax numbers.

(b) your private telephone and fax numbers -- for confidentiality and easy communication.

(c) your letter-headed paper stamped and signed.

Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type into your letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we require of you. The business will take us thirty (30) working days to accomplish.

Please reply urgently.

Best regards

Dry Ice

I was once contacted by "Nigerian Princess" on yahoo chat. Saying that she needed my help in transferring a large sum of money, but she needed 180 000$ to transfer it. And she wanted to borrow the sum from and repay me with interest. I was glad to help since i had bout 5 bucks.

I receive a lot of those emails, mostly from Nigeria.

A couple of yrs ago, I decided to play a dumb a** and play along, so I responded and provided my phone number. A guy called me the day after, so I talked S...l..o...w..l..y and asked so many questions, wasting about 1 hr. he was very excited about this potential catch

. I agreed to sending him a bank draft. He called several times after that asking about the status of the draft...again wasting hours and hours of his long distance time from Nigeria.

When nothing arrived in his mail (duh!), he grew impatient an dkept calling me on a daily basis, thats when I decided to tell him to go f*** himself after paying his huge phone bill.

Last I heard from him were angry ambigious words in Nigerian before hanging up the phone.

the best thing to do is just give them the phone number of another scammed (from another similar letter). That would be fun to watch.

I watched a TV report about these people.
It was a reporter that played their game and managed to film
and fix a meeting with them and the so-called his banker.

It was fun seeing them run after telling them that all this
was filmed for a special report...
