DEAR SIR/MADAM,

I HOPE MY LETTER WILL NOT EMBARRASS YOU SINCE I HAVE NO PREVIOUS CORRESPONDENCE WITH YOU. I OBTAINED YOUR CONTACT FROM A DIRECTORY HERE IN MY COUNTRY.

I AM A DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNTS, FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE, FMF, NIGERIA. IN ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AWAY FROM TODAY, I WILL BE RETIRING FROM THE CIVIL SERVICE HAVING SERVED AND ATTAINED THE MANDATORY AGE.
 
NOW THIS IS THE BUSINESS: DUE TO THE CORRUPTION AND ABUSE OF HUMAN RIGHTS CAUSED BY EX- PRESIDENT IBRAHIM BABANGIDA AND LATE FORMER HEAD OF STATE ( GEN. SANI ABACHA ). MY COUNTRY NIGERIA WAS FACING SERIES OF ECONOMIC SANCTIONS BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY FOR SOME YEARS AND THIS HAS BROUGHT A POOR REMUNERATION TO MY ESTABLISHMENT. BASED ON THIS I HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE THE SUM OF US$32,500,000.00 (THIRTY TWO MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) INTO A RELIABLE
ACCOUNT AS A SAFEGUARD FOR OLD AGE.

MEANWHILE, I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS REQUEST IS COMING FROM AN OLD MAN WHO IS IN DARE NEED OF ASSISTANCE BECAUSE AFTER MY YEARS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE WITHOUT ANYTHING TO SHOW FOR IT, IT WOULD FOREVER REMAIN A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEM FOR ME, TO THIS THEREFORE, I WANT TO SINCERELY REQUEST FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE AND CO-OPERATION FOR THIS URGENT BUSINESS TRANSACTION.

SOURCES OF THE FUND: AS AN ACCOUNTING OFFICER OF THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE, I HAVE IN THE CUSTODY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SUSPENSE ACCOUNT, A FLOATING SUM OF US$32,500,000.00; WHICH THE NEW GOVERNMENT IN POWER IS NOT PRIVY TO, THE ONLY HINDRANCE IS I DONT KNOW WHO TO TRUST AND CANNOT GET OUT THE FUND WITHOUT THE HELP OF A RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY PERSON, THAT IS WHY THIS LETTER TO YOU HAS BECOME IMPERATIVE.

 I WANT YOU TO ASSIST ME TO PROVIDE AN ACCOUNT WHERE TO LODGE THIS MONEY. THE TERM OF SHARING IS THUS: 25% FOR YOU, 70% FOR ME AND 5% FOR INCIDENTAL EXPENSES THAT MAY ARISE AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSFER. THE FUND WILL BE DEPOSITED IN YOUR ACCOUNT WITHIN 14 WORKING DAYS UPON THE RECEIPT OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT PARTICULARS.  YOU CAN OPEN AN ENTIRELY NEW ACCOUNT (VIRGIN ACCOUNT) FOR THE TRANSACTION, AS LONG AS THE ACCOUNT IS SAFE ENOUGH TO RECEIVE THE FUNDS.

IN VIEW OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY THAT THIS TRANSFER DEMANDS, KINDLY INDICATE A CONFIDENTIAL PHONE, FAX, WHERE YOU COULD BE REACHED.  PLEASE ENDEAVOR TO CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER ON THE ABOVE-MENTIONED TELEPHONE AND TELEFAX. NUMBERS.

YOURS SINCERELY,
