From the office of Engr; Abubakar Saeed,
Federal Ministry of works and housing,
Federal secretariat office complex,
Lagos,
Nigeria.

Dear Friend,
Request for assistance: Strictly Confidential

I am Engr; Abubakar Saeed, the director of works FMW&H Nigeria and chairman of contract award and review committee set up by the federal government of Nigeria under the present civilian dispensation to award new contracts and review existing ones.
I came to know of you in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential transaction,which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account.

There were series of contracts executed by a consortium of ultinationals in the Works and Housing sector in favour of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing (FMW&H). The original value of these contracts were delibrately over invoiced to the sum of USD$17,000,000.00 (seventeen million united state dollars).This amount has now been approved and is now ready to be transferred being that the companies that actually executed these contracts have been fully paid and the projects officially commissioned.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account for subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the code of conduct bureau (civil service law) from operating and/or opening foreign accounts in our names.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this is enormous, in return, we have agreed to offer you 20% of the transferred sum, while 10% shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between both parties in the course of the transaction you will be mandated to remit the balance to other accounts in due course.

Modalities have been worked out at the highest level of the ministry of finance and the Central bank of Nigeria for the immediate transfer of the funds within 14 working days subject to your satisfaction of the above stated terms. Our assurance is that your role is risk free. To accord this transaction the legality it deserves and for mutual security of the funds the whole approval procedures will officially and legally processed with your name or the name of any company you may nominate as the bonafide beneficiary.

Once more I want you to understand that having put in over twenty five years in the civil service of my country, I am averse to having my image and career dented.
This matter should therefore be treated with utmost secrecy and urgency it deserves. Please you should signify your intention to assist by you sending me a mail through my confidential email address so that I can brief you further ([email protected]).

I want to assure you that this business proposal is 100% risk free as we have done our home work properly. I quite believe that you will protect our interest by taking this deal strictly confidential, as we are still in government service,which we intend to retire from.
kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include this transfer in the first batch which would constitute the first quarter payments for the 2003 financial year.

Thanks and God bless.

Alh; Engr; Abubakar Saeed.

[bigdawg2003]

They're still doing this? Sigh. Can't they get any more creative? I got a nearly identical letter five years ago.

The said part of this is that I spoke with a friend in the FBI when I got my letter. He mentioned that he had heard of some cases where priests and churches were out large sums of money from these scams. Seems they often target the religious sector.

[Ksyrup]

I got that one about a month ago.

[thesloppy]

I didn't believe it, until I saw that the modalities had been worked out at the highest level of the ministry of finance.

This must be our lucky week.

Dear Sir,

Compliment of the day, I am President Charles Taylor, the former President of Liberia. Sorry for the embarrassment this letter may cause you. As you may know, I am under going political crisis due to Ethnic, social-political differences between myself as President and the Rebel leaders and this has led to people of Liberia asking for my removal from office.

During my reign in office as President, I was able to secure some reasonable amount of money amounting to twenty seven million united states dollars ($55,000,000) from the sales of diamond. The fund is presently been deposited in an undercover security house. This was done through a diplomatic channel using decoy purporting that the fund belongs to an expatriate.

Presently I need a person of high integrity, dignity and one with conscience who will claim the fund on my behalf as the beneficiary,hence I am contacting you. I have agreed to give you 20% of the total sum as commission for your assistance / effort while all expenses you incurred should be deducted from my 80%

Mean while iam currently in exile in calabar cross river state of Nigeria and i will feed you with all the nesscary information you might require from me. More information will be given to you while the transaction is going on. Treat with utmost confidentiality as I am a President and would not like to expose myself.

Regard,

Charles Taylor,
ALBERT STREET G.R.A ,
CALABAR CROSS RIVER STATE,

How does this scam work? I received one of these many years ago (at the church email address, by the way).

I think you basically end up giving them all your bank account info, authorizing them to make transactions to your account...

and before you know it, they make a withdrawal!

Then i believe various international laws make it impossible to do anything about it basically.

It was a long time ago, but if I remember correctly another tactic is that once you contact them and give them your info, they say they'll send you the money right away, then they come back a while later and mention that there are unexpected problems with some fees in getting the money forwarded to your account, and that if you wire them x thousand dollars, they can complete the processing. If you do that, then there's some additional problem that requires another x thousand dollars, and so on and so on, until you are out some significant cash.

[The Afoci]

You dumbasses, they said you have to keep it quiet. I hope your all happy because the money isn't really coming now. Got to you idiot home and do what idiots do. Duct tape yourself to the toilet and let her rip!

[tucker342]

damn! I wish I would get one of those emails!

[CamEdwards]

you can have mine, Tucker. I get three to four of these a week.

I'm huge in Nigeria and Liberia.

Wait a second, some guy in another thread's been telling me that International Laws are great and work all the time!

[Taur]

I am just waiting for all the money to come rolling in from my "Rebuilding Iraq" programs.

Just send $45.00 to my PO Box & I will quickly get you out a list of all the US employers in Iraq looking for employees.

Comming soon to a paper near you.
