I wonder if one should send this along to the RCMP? I also wonder how my
iata address was picked up?
As one colleague here said:
"I guess one must be suspicious of any business transaction valued at US
$17,000,000.00 where 10% will be "for reimbursement to both parties for
incidental expenses that may be incurred in the course of the transaction
for insurance, phone bills, documentation etc". Let me know if you ever
have 1.7 million dollars of phone bills !!!
Oh, and one more thing: I am suspicious of any financial dealing where 'it
is pertinent to state here that this deal is entirely based on trust and the
fear of God'."

Dear Sir,
Study this portion carefully and advice categorically, if you will be
able to handle, as I might not want to be exposed of the information
considering the source and reputation of my name.
I am the Director of project and the newly appointed chairman, contract
reviewing committee(CRC) of the Federal ministry of Works and Housing
(FMW&H) in Lagos, Nigeria. I am seeking your assistance to enable me
transfer the sum of US $17,000,000.00 into your account for mutual benefits.
This money came about as a result of a contract executed on behalf of
my Ministry, the (Federal Ministry of Works and Housing). This contract
was officially assigned to be awarded and executed by two foreign
contractors at the tune of US$80,500,000.00, but in the course of our negotiation,
we bargained with only one foreign contractor, a Bulgarian firm which
now executed the contract at the cost of US $63,500,000.00. Thus leaving
the remaining US$17M to our benefits unknown to the contractor and any
other person in my Ministry. This contract has been satisfactorily executed
and inspected as the Bulgarian firm is presently securing his payment
from my Ministry.
It is however to this effect that I seek your maximum assistance and
approval to present your company name or your name alongside with the
Bulgarian contractoras the second foreign contractor to enable me transfer the
difference(SU$17M)into your account for further investment depending on your advice.
On actualization of the transaction, the funds will be shared thus:
1. 30% of the money go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the funds.
2. 10% for reimbursement to both parties for incidental expenses that
may be incurred in the course of the transaction for insurance, phone
bills, documentation etc
3. 60%to me and other members of the panel.
All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth
actualization of the transaction within fourteen working days of
commencement after receiving the following information by fax: Your company's name,
address, phone/fax numbers and the activities of your company.
The above information will enable me make application and lodge claims
to concerned Ministries in favour of your company or name and it is
pertinent to state here that this deal is entirely based on trust and the fear
of God.
If you are able to handle this, feel free to e-mail me at
usman_abuXonebox.com
for a perfect understanding
of the transaction.
Thanks in anticipation of your positive response.
Yours faithfully
ENGR.Usman Abubakar

TO : THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (CEO)
Sir,
Ordinarily this letter should have been sent to you by
mail but due to the urgency it demands I decided to
send it by fax. I am a known government contractor
registered with the government of Ivory Coast. I have
been handling projects there for five good years until
things went wrong.
My main purpose of writing this letter to you is to
inform you of the existence of US$ 12,500,000.00 which
we urgently want a foreign partner to lodge in his
account. This fund is not an ill-gotten sum nor drug
proceed. It is a contractual sum which we could not
claim because our names where shotlisted as supporters
of the last military regime of General Robert Guéi.
There is no risk involved provided you keep it
strictly confidential. Details of this deal will be
given to you in full as soon as I receive your reply
indicating your interest.
I am writing this letter from the West African country
of Republic of Togo. I fled Ivory Coast during the
last unrest as the place is no more safe for me. I
intend to be here until the transaction is completed.
I can be reached by fax on 00228 26 33 86 while my
telephone is 00228 08 13 64.PLEASE, NOTE THAT THIS
COUNTRY HAS NO AREA CODE NUMBER.
Please note : I am not alone. There are some top
functionaries from Ivory Coast that have interest in
this. So be assured that it is 100% risk free. We have
agreed that you are worth 15% of the said sum.
While I await your immediate reply, I use this medium
to wish you and your family a happy and prosperous new
year.
Yours faithfully,
Ken Bedie.
