REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction .This by virtue of its nature as being 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.

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 contract Review Panel and we have identified a lot of inflated contract funds which are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria 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$20,500,000.00 (Twenty Million, 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 localand foreign expenses. It is from the 70% that we wish to commence the importation business.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope to commence the transfer latest seven (7) banking days from the date of the receipt of the following information below by Tel/Fax:234-1-759-8169, (a)company's name Beneficiary of account(b) Your Personal TeL. Number and Fax Number(c) Bank account/Sort/ABA/Routing numbers were the funds will be transferred to (d) Your Bankers Address, Telephone 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. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above tel/fax number. I will bring you into the complete picture of this pending project when I have heard from you. Your faithfully, DR. MUSA YAKUBU. NOTE:Please respond by phone or fax.with the number above.

It's mostly older people who are not too Internet savvy and aren't aware of the scams. And also others who are so greedy, they will fall for anything.
