DEAR Pierson,

In order to transfer out 24.8 million United States Dollars from a bank in Nigeria. I have the courage to ask for your assistance to handle this important and confidential business, I believe that you will not let me down. I am Mr. Anthony Adjovi the Bank Manager. There is an account opened in this bank in 1980 and since 1990 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.

The owner of this account is Mr. Donald Pierson, a foreigner and an engineer by profession and he died since 1990. No other person knows About his account or any thing concerning it, the account has no Other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that this Company does not know anything about this account and the amount Involved is 24.8 million United States Dollars I want to Transfer the money into a safe foreigners account abroad, but I don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money is in us dollars and the former owner of the account is Mr. Donald Pierson is a foreigner too. I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we do not know our selves before, but be sure that it is real
and a genuine business.

I only got your contact address from my secretary who operates computer with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business. You are the only person that I have contacted in this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take urgently. Send also your private telephone and fax number including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit. I want us to meet face to face or sign a binding agreement to bind us together so that you can receive this money into a foreign account or any account of your choice where the fund will be safe. I will fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and Investments. I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign account and foreign beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you later immedia
tely, if you are able and with capability to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefit because this opportunity will never come again in my life. I need truthful person in this business because I don't want to make mistake I need your strong assurance and trust.

With my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any Foreigner’s reliable account, which you can provide with assurance I will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place. You can also come to discuss with me face to face after which I will make this remittance in your presence and two of us will fly to your country so at least two days ahead of the money going into the account. I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from you that you are ready to act and receive this fund in your account. I will use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance forms of the ministries and foreign exchange departments. At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of transferring.

I look forward to your earliest reply.

If you fall for it they send you a cashiers check, you deposit it, send them another check back for their balance or share and then that cashiers check bounces a couple of weeks later and you are left holding the bag...it's called the 'Nigerian Scam'. Alot of people have fallen for it, theres an old saying that 'you can't cheat a truly honest man', being a bit cynical too helps
Nobody has ever given me anything so I tend to be a bit on the cynical side..

Actually, I haven't. Hotmail has done an exceptionally good job of filter most of my spam (an im still using their freemail!). And I almost never give out my ISP email.

I've gotten it at least 3 times, always wondered what the heck was going on. Thanks for posting what the scam actually is, Rich.

 

[Eagle]

I've received that maybe 20 or 25 times over the past couple or three years. Rich, I guess you come from a larger family than I.

There are a number of very amusing websites from people who have strung these scammers along, with often hilarious exchanges of emails. I can't remember where they all are, but if you do a google search for "lads of lagos" or similar you'll hit something.
