Dear (kindly contributor, first & last names reversed)
This letter may come to you as a surprise. I
want to
seek your assistance and to share a mutual
business
relationship with you, which will be of great
benefit
to both of us in the end.
However, I will introduce myself to you, I am
Michael
Okon I work with the Federal Ministry of
Finance (FMF)
in Nigeria in the foreign exchange control
department.
In my department we discovered accumulated
money
amounting to US$20million which has not been
claimed
by any body or a contracting firm. We believe
that
this money was kept for transfer by past
military
regimes. Now we want to use you as one such
contractor/firm and recommend you to the
Central Bank
of Nigeria (CBN) for the payment of this money.
Kindly keep this deal very confidential till
everything is over and you receive this money
for us.
We will reward you handsomely with a percentage
of
this money but we will be ready to negotiate
with you
if you are not satisfied with the percentage.
Please note madam [recipient was (and I suppose still is) a guy], that your line of business does not matter, only your cooperation is needed. My
alternative email address is
m_okon@mailcity.com or
michael_okon@yahoom.com
Thank you and expecting to hear from you soon.
Yours faithfully
MR MICHAEL OKON
