OMG! I got a really important unsolicited business proposition in e-mail!
Subject: Urgent Bueiness Proposition

The advent of internet has made it possible for people from deffient races to
transaction business in trust without knowing or

seeing each other before. It is on the ground I am inviting you to partner with
us in this business deal which is mutual benefitial. I

must solicit your strictest confidencein this transaction. This is by virtue of
its nature as being utterly confidential. We are top

officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel who are interested in
the transfering fund which 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.
We expressly would like you to act as the sole contractor/chief beneficiary of a
contract sum worth &14M,in the Ministry of Works

& Housing. Consequent upon our work as members of the Contract Review Panel
(CRP), The source of this fund is as follows we

observed that a certain contract liability exist to the tune of $14M.And that the
debt has been duly considered and verified for

approval since the 3rd quarter of 2001.However,upon thorough examination,it was
noted that the debt sum was brilliantly created

by the former Director General-to be approved in favour of a company which he was
to incorporate here (locally) with the help of an

expatraite firm/partner.Unfortunately,the former DG was retired before he could
actualize this clever financial deal.
Nonetheless,my partners and I have struck an agreement with the former DG and
concluded a masterplan to complete the deal.

With your assistance, you/your company will be facilitated as the the
contractor/beneficiary to whom the debt is due. One of my

immediate associates is the final signatory for all such funds payment approval
in the ministry. I have therefore being mandated as

a matter of trust by my colleagues of this panel to look for a foreign partner
into whose account we will transfer the sum of

US$14,00,000.00 (FourteenMillion U.S. Dollars Only ) hence we are writing this
letter .We have agreed to share the money thus:
1. 20% for the account owner (you)
2. 70%for us (the officials) and
3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses.We
equally intend to invest 60% of our share into any

profitable business you can recommend to us.
Please note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope to commence this
transfer latest ten (10) banking days from the date of

receipt of the following information to commence via my e- mail box. The
information required are:
1. Your company Name , Address , telephone and fax numbers.
2. Your private telephone and fax numbers
where I can reach you .The above information will enable us write letters of
claim and job discription respectively. This way we will

use your company’s name to re-apply for payment and re-award the contract
in your company’s name. We are looking forward to

doing this business with you and solicit your confidentiality in this
transaction. I will bring you into the complete picture of this

pending project when I have heard from you.
Your only duty will be to act in correspondence, (under our strict guidance)- via
e-mails, faxes and telephone, with the Ministry of

Finance as well as the local Apex Bank until the money is transferred into a bank
account you will make ready for this purpose. More

12. I'm glad they specified 14 million US dollars.
You'd hate to get stuck with 14 million pesos or lira.
