NUHU RIBADU: you are taking a big risk

Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled "Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage to read more about 419 fraud.

RE: BE CAREFUL OF THE HOODLUMS
 
Heilo Good , 

Following the recent broadcast of the president and the commander in chief of
armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria during the visit to the America
President Mr. George W. Bush, his speech to the united nation, couple with
recommendation and resolution of his last visit to South Africa, British,
France and the UNGA United Nations General Assembly in New York), a total sum
of $2.8 Billion has been mapped out by the SENATE to settle all outstanding
foreign debts owned to contractor this year. It has therefore become imperative
for us to explore our options for reducing our debt servicing policy to
affordable and sustainable levels. On the order of the president as a mark of
his reconciliation and image laundering exercise toward sanitizing the battered
image of the federal republic of Nigeria abroad. 
 
I, am Nuhu Ribadu Chairman Economic And Financial Crime Commission, a committee
set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria under the able President Olusegun
Obasanjo. The purpose of the committee among other is to investigate, verify
and settle all outstanding debts owed to foreign contractors whose payment is
overdue. During the last military dictatorship of Late General Sani Abacha,
many abnormalities had happened in the Central Bank of Nigeria and Standard
Investment Trust Bank of Nigeria where some top official of the apex Bank
collaborate with imposters and abandon our contractor/funds owners half way
with levies and taxes.
 
Consequently, we received a directive from the office of the president,
ordering the above office to settle all genuine contractors whose debts has
been outstanding for a long time now. These are those who has shown sufficient
proofregarding the release of their fund, And we wish to inform you that in our
record here, you have fulfilled such conditions.
 
But the reasons why your own Transfer has to be delayed is because, there is
presently a counter claims on your funds by one Mr. Peter Woo, who is presently
trying to make us believe that you entered into an agreement with him, to help
you in receiving your fund, in his bank account in China. So here comes the big
question. Did you sign any Deed of Assignment in favor of Mr. Peter Woo, thereby
making him the current beneficiary with the following account details: Account
Name:  Group Ltd, A/C #: USD114-102-5567-8, Bank Name: Standard
Chattered bank, 138-141 1st Floor, Edinburgh Tower, the Landmark, 15 Queens
Road, Central Hong Kong, Swift Code: SCBL 11k111.
 
If you did not sign, nor authorize Mr. Peter Woo to receive your payment on
your behalf, kindly reconfirm to us, your genuine bank account details, to
avoid making payment to a wrong person, attempt to divert your payment to a new
account without your knowledge may have been done by your local representative
with the assistance of some (Standard Investment Trust Bank ) Officials, of
whom most of them are presently under our custody and will face prosecution
under section 35A sub section 1-2-4 of the criminal code of Nigeria, pending on
when we finish with our investigation. 
 
This office is glad to inform you that your payment shall be made as soon as
thisinformation needed from you is submitted, either by Telegraphic Transfer or
by international Certified Bank Draft. We are sorry to inform you that the
Federal Government of Nigeria had made it clear to all foreign contractors
whose payment is overdue, to be paid immediately hence all the modality
relating to the release of your contract fund had been completed. You are
advised to stop any further communication with your local representative(s) any
officials (s) department of the CBN or Standard Investment Trust Bank or any
Government parastatal. This is to forestall new effort towards a diversion of
your payment. 
 
This office supersedes every other department in the CBN ,every other banks in
Nigeria and correspondence bank abroad and is thus responsible for the final
payment. The consequences of not heeding to this warning would be yours.
Although we have been able to come up with some good result about the people
that have extorted money from you illegally and I wish to list them so that you
will personally indicate them by writting back because we want to make your
payment to you without any delay but we must surely deal and bring this names
