FROM MR,NELSON BIDI,

Rue du Gouverneur Bayol Cotonou
Swift: ECOCBJJ
Télex : 539 ECOBNK

ATTEN:

RE:TRANSFER OF (USD 45 MILLION)

In order to transfer out (USD 45 MILLION) Forty Five million United States
Dollars) from ECOBANK BENIN.
I have the courage to ask for your assistance to handle this important and
confidential business believing that you will never let me down either now
or in future.
I am MR,NELSON BIDI,the MANAGER of ECOBANK BENIN. There is an account opened
in this bank in 1980 and since 1990 nobody has operated on this account
again. After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that
if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. Destin Pal, a foreigner, and a miner at
D&D INVESTMENT CO., a geologist by profession and he died since 1990. No
other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account
has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that
this company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved
is (USD 45M) Forty Five million United States Dollars). I want to transfer
the [USD45M] Forty Five million United States Dollars into a safe foreigners
account abroad , but I don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you
as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local bank here,
but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money is in
us dollars and the former owner of the account is Mr.Destin Pal, is a foreigner
too. I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we don?t
know our selves before, but be sure that it is real and a genuine business.
I only got your contact address from my secretary who operates computer
with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business. You
are the only person that I have contacted in this business, so please reply
urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take urgently. Send
also your private telephone and fax number including the full details of
the account to be used for the deposit. I want us to meet face to face or
sign a binding agreement to bind us together so that you can receive this
money into a foreign account or any account of your choice where the fund
will be safe. I will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing and
other investments. I am contacting you because of the need to involve a
foreigner with foreign account and foreign beneficiary. I need your full
co-operation to make this work fine because the management is ready to approve
this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account,
which I will give to you later immediately, if you are able and with capability
to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust according to my instructions
and advice for our mutual benefit because this opportunity will never come
again in my life. I need truthful person in this business because I don't
want to make mistake I need your strong assurance and trust. With my position
now in the office I can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable
account, which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact
pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing. and I want to remained
you that your share has been circulated at 35% of the total sum. I waiting
for your urgent reply so that I will give you more information about this
transaction.

Alternative email adresse ,

Best regards
MR,NELSON.N.BIDI.

Please read the disclaimer on this site at all speed but this has some of the funniest "revenge" stories for the e-mail scams that come from Nigeria (which, if I have heard correctly, has had a serious increase in their GNP due to successful 419 scams). Funny but abrasive.
