FROM:MR ALBERT WILLIAMS. CHIEF AUDITOR MINISTRIE OF FINANCE ECONOMICS COTONUO-BENIN REPUBLIC
Dear good friend,
I am ALBERT WILLIAMS CHIEF AUDITOR MINISTRIE OF FINANCE ECONOMICS COTONUO-BENIN REPUBLIC.I got your contact through network online hence I decided to write you and I want invest my 55% of my share in your country.
I wish to transfer the sum of $14,300,000.00 USD (Fourteen Million Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only.)into your personal or company`s bank account.
This fund was a residue of the over invoiced Industrial Contract bills awarded by MINISTRIE OF FINANCE ECONOMICS COTONUO-BENIN REPUBLIC to some foreign firms.This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the attendant lope holes sealed off.As the chief auditor,I have the cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary. It was my consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of West Africa.This is borne out of our beleive in the non-stable and sporous political nature of this sub-region.
The original contractors have been duely paid by the Banque Centrale Des Etats De L`Afrique De L`Ouest (Central Bank of the West African States)This balanceis suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting claims by any foreign company of our choice.I intend to pay out this fund now as the organisation is winding up its activities.
Based on the laws and ethics of employment,we as civil servants working under this organisation, are not allowed to operate a foreign account.This is the more reason why we needed your assistance to provide an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future investment with your comprehensive advise,assistance and partnership in your country.
I have two options for you,FIRSTLY,you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction,or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country.
If you do not prefer a partnership, 10% will be for any expenses incure in the course of this transfer,I am willing to give you 20% of the total amount ,while the remaining 70% will be for my investment in your country, Which ever the option you want,please feel free to contact me.
These are the informations I need from you:
THE NAME OF YOUR BANK........................ COUNTRY OF THE BANK.......................... ITS ADDRESS ................................. TEL/FAX NUMBERS.............................. THE ACCOUNT NUMBER .......................... THE BENEFICIARY'S NAME....................... YOUR PRIVATE TEL/FAX NUMBERS.................
Upon the receipt of this informations,the certificate of job completion of one of the contracts will be issued in your for the transfering of the fund to your nominated account without delay.As with the case of all organised (sensitive)and conspired DEALS,we solicit for our unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business. We hope to retire peacefully and lead a honourable business life afterwards. There are no risks involved.
REPLY ASAP. With regards. MR ALBERT WILLIAMS.

they are scams... as soon as you give them the info, they drain your bank account of all funds rather than add funds to it.

Hahaha, yeah, these email have been going around for sometime. They're just scams. Funny though. Once they get the authorization to access your account, bye bye money

Nigerian scammer sent to Welsh slammer
No-good boyo booked
By INQUIRER staff: Monday 05 April 2004, 05:58 A WELSH COURT has jailed a man for 20 months for email fraud.
Peter Okoeguale, 33, admitted being involved in the Nigerian 419 scam which flooded email inboxes with a promised a share of cash if they help with shifting cash out of Africa.
When Okoeguale was arrested he had floppy disks which could scan websites for e-mail addresses and for sending "spam".
North Wales Police said that discs found on Okoeguale contained thousands of e-mail addresses and telephone numbers of companies and individuals from Scotland, the USA, the Middle East, and the Far East.
Using the documents officers traced 11 victims, including one in Scotland who lost up to ?20,000, and a retired 72-year-old American businessman who lost $46,500.
Okoeguale pleaded guilty to going equipped to cheat and is the first person to be prosecuted in north Wales for advance fee fraud.
Okoeguale, who lives in Ireland where he has a wife and son, was arrested as he boarded a Holyhead ferry.
The prosecution said he had fake documents, one of which was headed 'Nigerian Police Force Contract Investigation Section' and urged the recipients to forward the details of any contact by corrupt government officials.
Okoeguale claimed he had been delivering the items to someone else and did not know anything about the Nigerian scam.
Judge John Rogers QC recommended Okoeguale's deportation at the end of the sentence. ?

"Should you agree to participate in this international bail-out, something will go wrong. Paperwork will be delayed. Questions will be asked. Officials will need to be bribed. Money from you ? an insignificant sum, really, in light of the windfall about to land in your lap ? will be required to get things back on track. You pay, you wait for the transfer . . . and all you'll get in return are more excuses about why the funds are being held up and assurances that everything can be straightened out if you'll just send a bit more cash to help the process along. Once your bank account has been sucked dry or you start making threats, you'll never hear from these Nigerians again. As for the money you've thrown at this, it's gone forever.
In a nutshell, the con works by blinding the victim with promises of an unimaginable fortune. Once the sucker is sufficiently glittery-eyed over the prospect of becoming fabulously rich, he is squeezed for however much money he has. This he parts with willingly, thinking "What's $5,000 here or $10,000 there when I'm going to end up with $2 million when this is all done?" He fails to realize during the sting that he's never going to get the promised fortune; all of this messing around is designed to part him from his money. "

I've had similar ones where they tell you that you won $20,000.00 in prizes but they need you to send $500.00 for shipping so they can send them to you! I answered a pay phone at work and got one of these I told him I had cash but couldn't leave work so if he wanted to come by and collect that would be great. You guessed it he hung up.
