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.

Dear Friend,
I am Dr Uba Mike,Project Accountant of the
Contract Award Committee of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company
(NNPC).
In Apirl/20/2003 my cooperation was awarded some contracts for
refurbishing of the petro-chemical complex at Eleme,supply and
installation of rigging and drilling eqiupment and repairing of Warri and
Port-Harcourt Refineries for $420,000,000.00 but with my privileged
position , the contract value was over-invoiced to $427,000,000.000, this
benefits me and my department $7,000,000 as over invoiced.
On
August/16/2004 ,the foregign contractor that we awarded the contract
received their full payments from the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN). In
this view,we require an honest and trustworthy person who will not betray
our trust to use his company and account to transfer out the balance of
the over in-voiced before we could share it, because if we use our local
account for the tranfer, CBN will suspect us.
That is why we want
to bestow this trust on you and it is our sincere wish that you do not
betray us .So it is because of the balance of $7m which we now have left
that we are sending you this confidential e-mail ,we have favoured an
incentive of 10% to you as the account owner and 5% to offset all expenses
that might be incured on the process of the tranfer, while the remaining
85% will for me and my department.
Confirm to me your trustworthiness
and acceptance of this proposal, Please your urgent response is greatly
required and should you not be in a position to assist,kindly inform me as
quickly as possible so that i could make an alternative
arrangement.
Pls reply through ubamike@katamail.com
Thanks for your
cooperation. Dr Uba Mike |
