    Dear friend

    I am Mr. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH, Director of Project Implementation
    Republic ofSouth
    Africa Department of Minerals & Energy. First and foremost, I
    apologizeusing
    this medium to reach you for a transaction/business of this
    magnitude,but this
    is due to Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on thismedium. Be
    informed
    that I obtained your enviable credentials/particulars from the
    yourcountry
    information website. I have decided to seek a confidentialco-operation

    with you
    in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of
    all parties.

    Within the Department of Minerals & Energy where I work as a Director
    ofProject
    Implementation and with the co-operation of three other top
    officials,we have
    in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling (Eight
    Million,Five Hundred
    Thousand United States Dollars) US$8.5M which we want to transfer
    abroad with
    the assistance and co-operation of a foreign company/individualto
    receive the
    said fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to
    receive
    such funds.

    More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South African
    CivilService Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore
    account
    hence your importance in the whole transaction. This amount (US$8.5m)
    represents the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf
    of my
    department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials
    over-invoiced
    deliberately.

    Though the actual contract cost have been paid to the original
    contractor,The
    sum of USD186, 000,000.00 (Nine Hundred & Eighty Six Million United
    States
    Dollars) leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we
    have in
    principles gotten approvals to remit by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to
    any
    foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an application
    through the
    Justice Ministry here in south Africa for the transfer of rights and
    privileges
    of the former contractor to you.

    I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you
    be
    willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be
    25% of
    the US$8.5 70% for us and 5% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses.
    The
    business itself is 100% safe, on your part provided you treat it with
    utmost
    secrecy and confidentiality. Also, your area of specialization is not a
    hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have
    reposed my
    confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me.

    Endeavour to contact me immediately through my above confidential
    phone and fax
    number As soon as I receive your response and your wiliness to assist I
    shall
    forward to you more information. I want to assure you that myself and
    my
    partners are in a position to make the payment of this claim possible
    provided
    you can give us a very strong assurance and guarantee that our share
    will be
    secured and please remember to treat this matter as very confidential
    matter,
    because we will not comprehend with any form of exposure as we are
    still in
    active Government Service and remember once again that time is of
    great essence
    in this business.

    Please kindly include your contact
    details for easier communication.

    It's a scam man! There's not one mention of Cocoa, everyone knows there has to be a choclately beverage connection involved to truly be a profitable venture originating from the dark continent.

    I have answered a couple stating I could open an account deposit their money but did not have any money or credit so could not give them a dime until all their money was certified clear.

    Odd, they did not respond

    I only responded to those from my Gmail address; never my normal email.

    You can bet they are from Nigera, no matter what country they claim to be writing from. We all get them so they really don't need to be posted unless they promise naked women as well as millions and send photos of both.

    Don't be so negative. This one might be for real. They all can't be fake. You don't don't know that it not true. It could be that his government changed, and he needs to get his money out of the country and just needs needs help. Things like this really happen' just like when Bill Gates gives away his money by keeping tract of when you forward the e-mails. Rich people do things like that. Where is your faith?

    While Nigeria was the home of the banking scam, it has branched out. Former Soviet Union members, Britain, Mexico, etc. Liked the one I got that claimed to be a member of the US Army in Iraq, had several of Saddam's millions he wanted to get out of Iraq. Said he was in Baghdad. Said would be glad to meet him- since I was the Asst G-3 for an armored division- in Baghdad. No response- wonder why? Just remember, folks- it is HARD to cheat an honest man. MOST scams require some element of greed on the part of the mark. And a Merry Christmas to all y'all on GB.
