Grace, Peace and Love from This Part of Atlantic to You. I must sincerely solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of it’s nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. What I am about to divulge to you in this mail is top secret and if it offends or does not meet with your business ethics, I crave your indulgence.

I am Engr. Kola David a member of a special Panel set up by the present civilian Government of Nigeria. We are saddled with the task of auditing the Accounts of government parastatals and ministries for the last ten years. In the course of our work at the committee, we discovered this fund which resulted from gross re-valuation of contracts by top government officials of the last administration. The companies that executed the Contracts have been duly paid and the contracts Commissioned leaving the sum of US$15.6 Million floating in the account of the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment but with nobody to lay claims to it. I have therefore been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues in the committee to look for an overseas partner to whom we could transfer the sum of US$15.6M Legally subcontracting the entitlement to you/your company. This is bearing in mind that our civil service code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign company or running foreign account while in government service hence the need for an overseas partner.We have agreed that the funds will be shared after it has been paid into your nominated account based on each partys negotiation upon your acceptance and willingness to assist us in this transaction. We have also agreed that our own share of the fund will be used for any business of your choice in your country in conjunction with you as we can not bring back cash to Nigeria.

All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth conclusion of the transaction within ten to fourteen days of commencement after receipt of the following information from you: Your full name/ company name, address, company’s details & activities, telephone & fax numbers.All expenses will be taken care of by us here , so you need not worry about that, all we need from you is to help us receive these funds by opening a fresh account which you will be the only signatory to then we can move ahead with the sharing of the funds.

These information will enable us make the applications and lodge claims to the concerned ministries & agencies in favor of your company and it is pertinent to state here that this transaction is entirely based on trust as the solar bank draft or certified check draw able in any of the Central Bank of Nigeria correspondent bankers in America, Asia and Europe is going to be made in your name. In order to move forward quickly, please respond to me with the requested details above so I can  bring you into the complete picture of this pending project and provide more information as to the successful conclusion of this project. The best response, however, would be by telephone, so we can discuss fully all issues needed to complete this venture in good time, and successfully.

After the lengthy letter one must either feel obliged to do something to help defraud the Nigerian government or not do anything. To prevent financial fraud with a big possibility of identity theft I rather do the latter.
