Stupid Punts!

A certain Dr. Prince Abebe has written to me, asking for my help in transferring money out of Nigeria.

It is a sizeable sum, some $123M in fact; definitely worth getting out of bed for!

However, it seems that the good doctor and his chums have gotten this money (which remember does not exist) by deliberately over-invoicing other companies.

They want me to give them my company name and number; so that they can steal the money, which doesn't exist.

Naturally I must not tell anyone about this, oops, I shouldn't really have posted details about it on this site then should I?

I am also assured that this transaction is 100% safe.

Dear oh dear, do they really think that I am that stupid?

ATTN : President/Ceo

Dear Sir,

First I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This
transaction by virtue of its nature is utterly confidential and 'top secret'.
You have been recommended by an associate who assured me in confidence of
your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of great magnitude
involving a pending business transaction requiring maximum confidence.

We are top officials of the federal government contract review panel who
are intereste in importation of goods as well as investing in your type of
business with funds which are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to commence
this business we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your
account the said trapped funds.

The source of this fund is as follows :

During the last Regime here in Nigeria. Some Government Officials set up
companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over-invoiced
in various ministries.The present Government set up a conract Review Panel
and we have identified a lot of inflated contract funds which are presently
floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) ready for payment.

However by virtue of our position as civil servants and members of this panel.
We cannot acquire this money in our names. I have therefore been delegated
as a matter of trust by my colleagues of the panel to look for an overseas
partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$123,500,000.00.
(One Hundred and Twenty-Three Millon,Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars)

Hence we are writing you this letter.

We have agreed to share the money thus:

1. 20% for the Account owner (you)

2. 70% for us (The officials)

3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses.

It is from the 70% that we wish to commence the importation business and
Investment with your help. Please note that this transaction is 100% safe
and we hope to conclude the transfer latest ten(10) bank working days from
the date of the receipt of the following information;

1. Your full names and company name

2. Your Personal TeL. Number and Fax Number

The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job description
respectively. This way we will use your company's name to apply for payment
and re-award the contract in your company's name.

We are looking forward to doing this business with you and solicit your
confidentiality
in this transaction.

I will bring you into the complete picture of this pending deal when I have
heard from you.

Your faithfully,

Dr. Prince Abebe.
