Dear Sir,
Business Proposal
We represent the members of the Tender Board of the Federal
Ministry of
Works and Housing, Abuja. We awarded the contract for the
provision of
Street Lights in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, Abuja
in
1999. The contract was over-invoiced to the tune of $345 million.
The
contract was actually completed at the cost of $300 million.
However, the
balance $45 million is presently in a suspense account in the
Central
Bank of Nigeria. We hope to transfer this amount to a trusted
foreign
Partner,
who is willing to assist us to get the money out of Nigeria to
an
account abroad.
It is relevant to state that we are Civil Servants in the
Ministry and
it is unlawful for us to have such a huge amount of money in our
Bank
Account in Nigeria; hence we are seeking for a trusted foreign
partner
overseas, with a foreign account that can help us to get this
money out
of Nigeria.
It is a known fact that there are lots of stories about scam
business in
Nigeria. This could be seen in a lot of business letters and
e-mail and
fax messages they send to people abroad. This is rather
unfortunate.
The Government of Nigeria is really doing its best to eliminate
the scam
business.
However this, we have to assure you that ours is real and
genuine. It
is risk-free. In addition, we do not want to sound too greedy in
this
transaction, therefore we expect you to use your discretion to
decide
the sharing of the money based on percentages.
In view of the above, we would be glad if you could give us your
co-
operation, by consenting to our desires.please make available
your
phone and fax number for immediate communication.
We look forward to your response as soon as possible.
Yours truly,
Dr.Lateef Bello
Director of Operations
Federal Ministry of Works and Housing
Hello Dr. Bello,
My name is Dr. Emmett Brown. A colleague of mine, Dr. Galen Adams, forwarded your e-mail to me because he thought I'd be interested and he didn't have the time to respond. I've heard of the Nigerian scams, but I'm glad to hear yours is not that. I'm not naive. I'm a research scientist and I need money to fund my research concerning clocks. How much money would I receive? Please forward me more details.
Yours,
Emmett Brown

Dear Emmett,
we are in receipt of your response to the letter which we sent to
you.
Thanking you for the interest indicated.
As stated earlier, it is a risk-free business. We expect this
money to get
to you within one weeks. We do not want you to commit your funds
in the
expenses of ensuring the transfer of the funds to your account
and we shall
give you 25% of the total sum and 5% for any expenses incured by
both of us, that is all we can offer and the amount we
are trasfering is 45million dollas not 345million.
We would like you to send us more detailed information about
yourself, your full names,current address,phone andfax numbers
for easy communication and transmission of all necessary document
backing the transaction,
name of your company, your Bank Account information. The essence
of this
is to ensure the quick transfer to your Bank Account. ; and we
intend to use the name of your company in
transferring the money to you. In addition, we would also like
you to send
us your telephone number, fax number and contact address to allow
for easy
communication.
You should note that once we get the name of your company, it
would be
registered with the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing and
also with the
Corporate Affairs Commission here in Nigeria. The essence of this
is to
indicate that your company came to Nigeria to execute the
contract of $345m
for the provision of the Street Lights in Abuja at the time
stated. We
have to also pay Tax for a given period based on the time your
company was
registered in Nigeria and when it commenced operation. The date
of the
registration and the Tax payment has to be back-dated to the
periods of
registration and commencement of operations in Nigeria. It is
relevant to
state that this contract was awarded in 1999 by the members of
the Tenders
Board of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing. Hence we
expect the
payments to cover the periods from 1999-2003.
In view of the above, we expect you to send the necessary
information
needed for this Business on time, so that we can start the
work.
Please call me for more discussion
Once more, thank you for your co-operation and God bless.
Yours sincerely,
DR.LATEEF BELLO
Dr. Jello,
Please refer to me as DOCTOR Brown. We do not know each other well as yet and it is unprofessional to do otherwise. As a doctor, you should know that. By the way, what doctorate do you hold? I want to know what it is to make sure you are who you say you are.
Also, send me a picture of yourself. If you want me to trust you, I need a picture. I have heard of Nigerian scams as you mention. After I get a picture we can proceed. Plus, why did you change your e-mail address?
Let me reassure you, I do want the money to continue to fund my important clock research. My clock research is VERY important to me. In fact, do you possess any Nigerian clocks that you could send me? It makes no difference if they work or not. Someone told me most Nigerian clocks are not really Nigerian but imported from Switzerland. I don't like Swiss Clocks, let me tell you.
Dr. Jello, I don't have a company. I am employed at Hill Valley University. I am the head of the Department of Physics. What should I do? I am eager to complete this transaction! :)
God bless.

Dr. Belly,
I'm very interested in this transaction, so please answer my questions so my heart can feel at ease.
1) I need a picture of you to trust you.
2) You never answered me about the Nigerian clocks I asked you about.
3) Why did you change your e-mail address?
Dr. Belly, if you want me to trust you, please do those three things. I am a God loving person, and I'm sure you are too. Please help me. Aside from my clock research, I want the money so my wife Clara and I can take a vacation. Maybe we'd even come to Nigeria! :)
I trust you a lot, Dr. Belly, from the little communication we've had. Please just go a little more distance so I can fully trust you. I now need to go to my laboratory and work on my clocks. Do you know much about clocks? Anyway, I believe one my clocks is misbehaving because it needs its flux capacitor changed out.
I check my e-mail quite often, so I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
Sincerely,

Dr. Bells,
I tried e-mailing your other e-mail address and it was no longer available. Dr. Bells, why is this? I am REALLY eager to complete this transaction! :)
Thank you for easily answering two of my three questions. Make sure that the clocks you gather are Nigerian and not a Swiss import clock, okay? They don't have to be working, but I don't want a Swiss import.
Now, as to the picture of you, I need one, Dr. Bells. I need to know who I am working with. You need me to complete this transaction and since you trust me, please send me a picture of yourself. I will send you a picture of myself soon thereafter and we can proceed swiftly.
I am EAGER to get the MONEY as much as you are. But I must trust you and then you can swing into action. I have lots of serious clockwork research to do and cannot fool around with you if you are playing with me. Just between you and me, I'm on the verge of inventing something that will revolutionize clocks and wristwatches. It's called the flux capacitor. E-mail me with your picture ASAP. God bless.
