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.

FROM THE DESK OF MR DAVID GODWIN 47 HILTON
AVENUE, VICTORIAL ISLAND, LAGOS NIGERIA. EMAIL:
Dear Friend,
I am a director in the foreign affairs department of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I got your e-mail during a
personal research on the Internet and wish to use this opportunity to
notify you of the existence of a certain amount we wish to transfer
overseas for the purpose of investments and importation of goods from your
country.
In December 2003, a contract of sixty-six
million United States dollars ($66,000,000) was awarded to a foreign
company by my ministry. The contract was supply, erection and system
optimization of supper polyore 200,000-bpsd, system optimization of
280,000-monax axial plants and the computerization of conveyor belt for
our Kaduna refinery. With only the consent of the head of the contract
evaluation department, I over invoiced the contract value by thirty four
million United States dollars ($34,000,000).
The contract
has been completed long ago and the foreign company has fully paid off.
But in the office files and paper work, the company is still owed USD $34M
representing the over invoiced amount. Because this amount is derived from
the award and execution of a foreign contract, there is no way the money
can be paid locally. That is why I contacted you, so that we can do the
project together for our mutual benefit. We have concluded every necessary
arrangement to transfer this amount to a foreign account as the final
phase payment for the said contract. What we need is your bank account
into which we can deposit the money and after we shall come over there to
share the money with you.
We sincerely need an honest
person to work with and have agreed to share the money in the following
percentages, 70% will be for us who will effect the transfer and 30% will
be for you whose account is used to secure the funds. There is no risk
involvement because applications will be made to the concerned Federal
ministries and parastatal with official approvals given by the Federal
government before the Central Bank of Nigeria will be officially empowered
to wire the funds to your account by telegraphic transfer.
If you are interested, contact me by e-mail at (godwin_bbc2005@yahoo.com)
indicating your full name or company name and address. Your direct
telephone and fax numbers. The name and address of the bank you would like
us to deposit the money with, the telephone and fax numbers of the bank,
your account number, etc. Everything has been arranged and I will send
more information about the business transaction to you as soon as I hear
from you. For obvious reasons, please keep this proposal top secret and
highly confidential.
Kind regards,
DAVID
GODWIN |
