I received this email today, from some idiot claiming to work for the Bank of Nigeria.
He says that despite never having met me, or knowing anything about me, he is happy to transfer $15M into my bank.
Now please, think about this for a minute; does this not seem to be a slightly odd thing to do?
He claims the money belonged to a dead person, and he wants me to pretend to be the next of kin.
In other words, he is asking me to commit fraud.
Let us be clear, there is no money.
Those people that fall for this scam are incredibly stupid, dishonest and greedy.
I trust that you do not fall into this category!

Dear Friend,
How are you today and how is your family,i hope you are
all fine,if so thanks be to God.
I am pleased to get across to you for a very urgent and
profitable business proposal, though I don't know you
neither have I seen you before but my confidence was
reposed on you when i saw the name of your company and
contacts through a bussiness jornal ,i confidentialy write to
you for a bussiness relationship with you.
I am the senior manager of Bills and Exchange Inland Bank
of Nigeria. The intended business is thus; We had a
customer, a Foreign resident in Nigeria,by name
Mr.Thompson Thorn, he was a Contractor with
Chevron/Texaco Nigeria limited .He has in his Account in
my branch the sum of US $15 Million(Fifteen Million
Dollars).Unfortunately, the man died with his families few
years ago in a bomb explossion in ikeja part of lagos sate in
Nigeria ,and until today non-of his next of kin has come
forward to claim the money.
Having noticed this,and with the understanding of my
soonest retirement from the banking industry ,I decided to
do business with you and release the money
to you as the next of kin to Mr. Thompson Thorn for
safety and subsequent disbursement.
I personally do not want this fund to be transferred
into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. That is why
I wanted the funds to be moved out of the bank before I
proceed on my retirement from the banking services by
next year. The need for a foreigner as next of kin in
this project is occasioned by the fact that the
customer Mr. Thompson Thorn was a foreigner and a
Nigerian cannot stand as his next of kin or heir.
As soon as this message comes to you kindly get back to me
indicating your interest, then I will furnish you with the
whole procedures to ensure that the deal is successfully
concluded. For your assistance i have agreed to give you
(30%) of the Total sum at the end of the transaction,
thereafter I will visit you over there in your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
To enable the immediate transfer of the
funds into your nominated bank account, you will first apply
to the bank as the next of kin of the deceased,
indicating your bank account number and location
wherein the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of
your acknowledgement indicating your interest, I will
send to you the text of the application that you will
send to the Inland Bank Nigeria plc authority for an
approval to submit your claims.
Send your reply through my email and indicate your
interest to this bussiness so that we can proceed with actions
to get the funds transfered to your bank account over there in
your country .
If you are interested ,send immediately to me your full
contact
details for effective communication that this transaction
needs.
