Here's another one from Nigeria!

Dear Sir


I am Peter EZE. I am working in Audit Department of the Central Bank of
Nigeria , while auditing the account of the Federal Government, I
discovered
that there is contract awarded to one oil firm which the Government is
yet
to foot the bill.

The problem is that the Government could not pay the firm after the
firm has
completed the contracton because of lacf of fund. Now the Government is
ready to settle the debt, but the problem is that the contractor is
dead. So
I need someone who can help me to pose himself as the contractor so
that we
can claim themoney.

The Amount of money in question is about US$50M. I am ready to provide
all
the Documents necessary for the deal if only you can help me claim the
money
for 30% will be for you 65% while 5% for miscellaneous expenses
incurred
during the transaction.I look forward to hearing from you immediately
you
receive WITH this email, auditpeter1@yahoo.co.uk

Best Regard.
Dr Peter EZE

ATTN: SIR/ MADAM

REMINDER

I am sorry for the informal way this mail is reaching you but i hope
you
will not mistake it as one of those scam leters that are swimming on
the
internet on daily basis.It is true that people are using different
means to
defraud people through the internet but i want you to use this two
websites
bellow to see authenticity of why i am contacting you.

My name is barrister C. Howells, a personal assistant to the Executive
Governor of Bayelsa state , Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha who was arrested
recently by the british government in conjunction with the Nigerian
power
brokers and was charge for money laundering in the United Kingdom.

You can find the news on the BBC news link below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4291350.stm

My boss later found his way back to Nigeria.And a week after his
arrival to
Nigeria,to resume his gubernertorial position in the state, the Bayelsa
state house of assembly passed an impeachment motion and subsequently
impeached him from his seat as the Governor.

This developement has removed the immunity clause which was granted him
by
the Nigeria constitution, living him as an ordinary Nigerian. The
Nigerian
police has finally arrested him and he is in detention awaiting
trial.And
from all available information the British and the Nigerian government
are
poised to incarcerate him.And as his personal assitant he has
personally
requested that I commence on an immediate search for a partner who
will act
as the next of kin/beneficiary and take charge of his other finances in
the
likely event of his incarceration.

This shall be a business agreement and all relevant documentation to
make
you the beneficiary to his other finances including power of attorney,
letters of authority will be prepared. You will take charge of all
concerning this fund and will manage it based on your own discretion,
you
will also be entitled to a percentage of this fund.

If you go through the BBC news link above, you will see that my boss is
in a
very desperate situation and if he doesn't commence an immediate
transfer of
his other finances, he stands a chance of loosing everything. At the
moment,
his assets in London, worth about 10.Million Pounds has been
confiscated and
they are ready to sieze more.

This is why i am contacting you.If you are willing to work with me in
this
regard,you can reach me with the email address shown below. Then I can
furnish you with more facts about this. I am purposely withholding
other
vital details until you indicates your interest.

Please note that the amount of transfer in question is 18 million
United
States Dollars. kindly reply if you can assist us in this regard, if
not
please do not bother as we have no time to waste.

Your telephone and fax number shall be needed for easier communication
with
your full Names and full mailing address.
Thanks,

Yours sincerely
Barr C.Howells
