I'm absolutely sick of receiving these e-mails. I get crap like this in my inbox almost every day from some desperate African hostage, and I'm getting annoyed now. What do you think of this?
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
FROM THE DESK OF DR KUDI OWOH
CHAIRMAN C. A. C
MINISTRY OF WORK
Dear Sir,
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE IN A FINANCIAL TRANSACTION
I am contacting you based on information and
esteem recommendation I received of you from a high
ranking official in the commercial section of the
Nigerian Chambers of Commerce and Industry who
guaranteed your reliability and trustworthyness in
business dealings.
This business proposal I wish to intimate you with is
of mutual benefit and it's success is entirely based
on mutual trust, cooperation and a high level of
confidentiality. I am the Chairman of the contract
Advisory Committee (CAC) of the Nigerian Federal
Ministry of Works (FMW). I am seeking your assistance
to enable me transfer the sum of US$16,500,000.00
(Sixteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) into your private/company account. The fund
came about as a result of a contract awarded and
executed on behalf of my Ministry the Federal Ministry
of Works.
The contract was supposed to be awarded to two foreign
contractors to the tune of S$60,000,000.00 (Sixty
Million United States Dollars). But in the course of
negotiation, the contract was awarded to a Bulgarian
contractor at the cost of US$43,500,000.00
(Forty-Three Million, Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) to my benefit unknown to the
contractor. This contract has been satisfactorily
executed and inspected as the Bulgarian firm is
presently securing payment from my Ministry, where I
am the Executive Director in-charge of all foreign
contract payment approval. As a civil servant still in
active government service, I am forbidden by law to
operate an account outside the shores of Nigeria.
Hence this message to you seeking your assistance so
as to enable me present your private/company account
details as a beneficiary of contractual claims
alongside that of the Bulgarian contractor, to enable
me transfer the difference of US$16,500,000.00
(Sixteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) into your provided account. On actualisation,
the fund will be disbursed as stated below. 1. 30% of
the fund will be for you as beneficiary. 2. 10% for
reimbursement to both parties for incidental expenses
that may be incurred during the course of the
transaction. 3. 60% of the fund will be for me which I
intend to invest in your country with you as my
partner. All logistics are in place and all modalities
worked out for a smooth actualisation of the
transaction within the next few working days of
commencement. For further details as to the
workability of this transaction, please reach me on my
email
Thank you and God bless as I await your urgent
response.
Yours Sincerely,
DR KUDI OWOH
Reliability and trustworthyness? Poor fool obviously doesn't know me.
So, have you ever received this? Did it make you laugh?
