Wait, I thought I was the only one who was offered that!
I wish the real scams were as easy to see as the Nigerian emissary.

URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL (Reply to this comment)
by CurtisEdmonds
I know that this will come to you as a surprise. My firm, txreviews.com, has been involved closely with the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources.
The Ministry is now compiling beneficiaries to be paid this third quarter of 2002. The crux of this letter is that the finance/contract department of this Ministry deliberately over-inflated the contract value of the various contracts awarded. In the cause of disbursements, this department has been able to track down the sum of US$20.5M
Twenty Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) as the over-invoiced sum. This
money is now lying and floating in the Ministry's domiciliary account with the Apex Bank, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
My colleagues and I now want to quickly transfer these funds to a safe nominated account for possible investment abroad. We are not allowed as a matter of Government policy to operate any foreign account because of our status as Civil/public servants. Given your expertise with Internet scams, we are soliciting for your account to transfer this fund into.
We have also evolved a sharing formula as follows:
(1) 25% for the foreign account owner
(2) 70% for I and my colleagues
(3) 5% will be set aside to defray all expenses both locally and internationally during the course of this transaction.
Furthermore, we shall be relying on your advice as regards investments of part of our share in any blue-chip Company in your country. Be informed
that this business is genuinely and 100% safe considering the high-powered government official involved.
Send your private fax, telephone numbers
and your mobile telephone if any and same of your Bank and Account number.
Looking forward to healthy business relationship with you.
