Good news first: The server is up again, so the remotely hosted css and js files are useful again, and that means you all enjoy a more “easy on the eye” blog. Now… onto the business proposal I had…
Upon checking my e-mail, I found myself over an interesting offe:
Enugu-Nigera
Tel: 31-638135751
Confidential
Dear Sir,
I am DR. IKENNA EZE, Audit Manager, CONTRACT TENDER COMMITTEE Federal
Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources of Nigeria.
My colleagues and I in the ministry need the services of a foreigner
into whose account we will transfer the sum of (us$25.5m) twenty five
point five million U.S Dollars only.
The money originated from contract over-invoicing/estimation by us the
contract tender committee, from contract bills of various contracts
awarded to foreign firms which the foreign firms executed for the Federal
Ministry Of Agriculture And Natural Resources From 1993.
The above amount has been lying unclaimed in the accounting department
of our ministry. It is within this framework that we have resolved to
get in touch with you to table this proposal
Precisely, sir, original contractors to this project had since
collected their supposed payment accordingly and the works has been
commissioned. In collaboration with a colleague from the Federal Ministry of
Finance; we reached a compromise to transfer the money to a reliable foreign
account for our private use. The need to contact a foreigner arose
because foreign firms executed the contact, so the fund cannot go into an
indigenous account in order to avoid suspicion from unconcerned
quarters.
Mutually, we have unanimously agreed to share the funds as follows: 65%
for us, 30% for you and 5% is set aside for our travel and other
expenses. Therefore if you will be ready to assist us in transferring the
funds to your account, could you please send me urgently the bank account
details (together with the beneficiary’s name, including your direct
telephone contact) Currently I’m on a six months program in the
Netherlands, So you can reach me through my Tel Number 31-638135751, Or mail me
at ikennaeze112@yahoo.com Thanks for your kind co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
DR IKENNA EZE.
Oh my, that sounds pretty rewarding… it kind of reminds me of the following Strongbad episode:
Oh well, regarding the interesting business proposal,… would you take a chance and offer your bank account information for something like that? Feel free to comment.
No, that’s a bad idea. These things are fake.

(I tried to link it, but it isn’t working out for me. And it’s Friday, so I don’t feel like messing with it too much.)
Lol, I know it’s a fraud, but I wanted to see how many people receive spam like this…
Thanks for posting rdturpin. I appreciate the effort and good research you did. Job well done.
Oh, just for further common knowledge, in order to type a link with some text, you can do it this way:
then you type some text
then you close the tag by typing oh, after the “url”, you can type target=”_blank” if you want to pop the link open in another window, but blogger doesn’t allow targets when posting comments
