This one I had to reply to. I had four seperate emails coming into
my "dodgy" Nanomole accounts. One each addressed to Technical,
Sales, Management, and Administration. How did he find my dodgy company
?

Attention.
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction which by the
virtue of its nature requires top most confidentiality
and secrecy. I am aware that a proposal of this magnitude can make anyone
apprehensive and worried but I can assure you that all is well and that
there is no need for doubts. It is clear that I am not known to you hence
this little introduction.
I am the Manager Bills and Exchange of the Foreign Remittance Department
of the Union Bank of Nigeria (UBN) with Headquarters in Lagos and formally
known as Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS AG Zurich, Switzerland). In accordance
with the Federal Government policy on indigenization law on company and
allied matters of Jan 1977, I write this message to ask for
your support, assistance and co-operation to consummate this transaction.
We just discovered an abandoned sum of US$15.5M (Fifteen Million Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) in an account belonging to
our foreign customer who died with his entire family in the ill-fated
Kenyan Air Line, which crashed into the Indian Ocean in Comoros Island
a few years back. Since this incident, we have repeatedly advertised for
his Next of Kin or any close relation to come forward to claim this fund
but nobody showed up.
Based on this, I have decided to look for a trusted foreign partner who
can be trusted to stand as the Next Kin to the
deceased and claim this money. I need a foreigner as a partner because
I do not want this money to go into the Bank_s Treasury as unclaimed fund.
All necessary documents to effect this process will emanate from my table
and all would be perfected to be in accordance with the International
Banking laws and procedures. You have nothing to fear. I have agreed that
30% of the total sum will be for you, 10% for sundry expenses and for
charity while 60% is for me.I am therefore, requesting that you send me
immediately your private phone and fax numbers indicating your full names
to enable us commence action.
Send them through the e-mail above or E-mail: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx2000@xxxx.com
Hoping to hear from you soonest.
Regards,
MIKE ADENUGA.

Dear Steve,
As you can expect with a spectacular offer like this there were a lot
of responses.
Unfortunately for you I have already decided on taking someone else for
completing this transaction.
Anyway thanks a lot for your interest and I will contact you on the next
occasion where we need a foreign business partner.
Regards
Mike Adenuga
Eventually a reply .... and guess what he's
blown me out. He's obviously too busy scamming other people !! What a
bloody cheek.
