Dear Sir:
I have been requested by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company to contact you for assistance in resolving a matter.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company has recently concluded a large number of contracts for oil exploration in the sub-Sahara region.
The contracts have immediately produced moneys equaling US$40,000,000.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company is desirous of oil exploration in other parts of the world, however, because of certain regulations of the Nigerian Government, it is unable to move these funds to another region.
You assistance is requested as a non-Nigerian citizen to assist the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, and also the Central Bank of Nigeria, in moving these funds out of Nigeria.
If the funds can be transferred to your name, in your United States account, then you can forward the funds as directed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company.
In exchange for your accommodating services, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company would agree to allow you to retain 10%, or US$4 million of this amount.
However, to be a legitimate transferee of these moneys according to Nigerian law, you must presently be a depositor of at least US$100,000 in a Nigerian bank which is regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
If it will be possible for you to assist us, we would be most grateful. We suggest that you meet with us in person in Lagos, and that during your visit I introduce you to the representatives of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, as well as with certain officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Please call me at your earliest convenience at 18-467-4975. Time is of the essence in this matter; very quickly the Nigerian Government will realize that the Central Bank is maintaining this amount on deposit, and attempt to levy certain depository taxes on it.
Yours truly,
Prince Alyusi Islassis
We laugh at the Nigerian scam but I was behind someone at the grocery store where they sell the stamps, lottery tickets and western union stuff. I had to wait while the clerk refused to sell the lady a western union gram to send to Nigeria, tried to tell the lady (older but not elderly) that it was a scam and the lady said no, a friend of hers had done it and got her money but the clerk told her no, i’m sorry but it’s against our rules to sell the wire (or whatever) to go to Nigeria, the woman left mad. No kidding, they walk among us.
