Seniors, avoid fraud: Ignore letters

following letter is an actual letter meant

Sir, REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL
BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPIN RESPECT OF THE
TRANSFER OF $25,500,000.00 (TWENTY-FIVE
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED AMERICAN DOLLARS) INTO
YOUR ACCOUNT
I, on behalf of my other colleagues from
different Federal Government of Nigeria
owned parastatals decided to solicit your
assistance as regards the transfer of the
above stated amount into your bank account.
This fund arose from the over-invoicing of
various contracts awarded in my parastatal
to certain foreign contractors sometime ago.
We as holders of sensitive positions in our
various parastatals were mandated by the
Fedral Government to scrutinise all payments
made to foreign contractors,and discovered
that some of the contracts they executed
were grossly over invoiced, either by
omission of commission.
Also, we discovered that the sum of
$33,000.000.00 (Thirty three million
American dollars only) was lying in a
suspense account,although the foreign
contractors were fully paid their
entitlements after executing the said
contracts.
We all agreed that the over-invoiced amount
be transferred into a bank account provided
by a foreign partner, as the code of conduct
of Federal Civil Service does not allow us
to operate foreign accounts.
However, we have succeeded in transferring
some of the monies, precisely US$7.5 (Seven
million Five Humdred thousand American
Dollars) into a foreign account in Morocco
(North Africa), but unfortunately the
provider of the account has severed all
forms of communication with us as he has
refused to adhere to our earlier mutual
agreement, insisting that the total amount
be paid into his nominated bank account
before disbursement will take effect.
We are therefore seeking your assistance
based on the balance amount US$25.5M which
can be speedily processed and fully remitted
into your nominated bank account.
On successful remittance of the funds into
your account, you will be compensated with
20% of the amount for your assistance and
services. This transaction is closely
knitted and in view of our sensitive
positions we cannot afford a slip.
I assure you that this transaction is 100%
risk free. We will avail you with our
identities as regards our respective office
when relationship is fully established and
smooth operation commences.
am
at your disposition to entertain any
question from you in respect of this
transaction, so, contact me immediately
through the above telefax number for further
information on the requirements and
procedure. Please note that this is a DEAL
and confidentiality is of very great
importance for security reasons. Please
treat with strict confidentiality and utmost
urgency.
Regards, Williams Lamido
