Michael Okon 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

Thank you and expecting to hear from you soon. |
