-Caveat Lector-
<i got one of these the other day- i was surprised as the british police had
claimed to have stamped it out (hehe) aided by investigative news teams - so
i was quite chuffed to actually receive such a famous con trick- and sent to
an addie that i don't remember using for, like ever. now (don't laugh) i
"believe" there is a synchronistic wave occuring at the moment- to me
personally with things in my life (or maybe it is worldly- anyone else?)
anyway- for june to post this article today is funny, as well as the addie
for a connected reason etc etc. i could tell it but it just sounds too
mental, but as well as that it is strange for this mail to come to me via
this old *significant* email addie. and other stuff. anyhow
it has yahoo and hotmail addies and i have sent them to the abuse addies at
both places. the mail is from a prince no less!- a relative of yours
perhaps, saba?
anyway- i found it quite interesting.
i find the capitalisation of it really does make it sound like he is
shouting it all in my ear. sure glad they don't do this door to door.>

July 11th 2001
DEAR FRIEND,
I GUESS THIS LETTER MAY COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE
SINCE I HAD NO PREVIOUS CORRESPONDENCE WITH YOU.
I AM THE CHAIRMAN TENDER BOARD OF INDEPENDENT NATIONAL
ELECTORAL COMMISSION (INEC) I GOT YOUR CONTACT IN THE
COURSE OF MY SEARCH FOR A RELIABLE PERSON WITH WHOM TO
HANDLE A VERY CONFIDENTIAL TRANSACTION INVOLVING THE
TRANSFER OF FUND VALUED THIRTY MILLION TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($30.2M) TO A SAFE
FOREIGN ACCOUNT.
THE ABOVE FUND IN QUESTION IS NOT CONNECTED WITH ARMS,
DRUGS OR MONEY LAUNDERING. IT IS THE PRODUCT OF OVER
INVOICE ON CONTRACT AWARDED IN 1999 BY INEC, TO A
FOREIGN COMPANY FOR THE SUPPLY OF ELECTORAL MATERIALS
THAT WAS USED FOR 1999 ELECTIONS.
THE CONTRACT HAS LONG BEEN EXECUTED AND PAYMENT OF THE
ACTUAL CONTRACT AMOUNT MADE TO THE FOREIGN CONTRACTOR
LEAVING THE BALANCE OF $30.2M U.S DOLLARS IN A DORMANT
ACCOUNT WHICH MY COLLEAGUES AND I NOW WANT TO TRANSFER
OUT OF NIGERIA INTO A RELIABLE FOREIGN ACCOUNT FOR OUR
PERSONAL USE.
AS CIVIL SERVANTS, WE DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY
FOREIGN ACCOUNT MACHINERY TO SUCCESSFULLY HANDLE THIS
TRANSACTION. THERFORE IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO SOURCE
FOR A FOREIGN COMPANY WITH THE CAPABILITY TO ACT AS
THE ORIGINAL BENEFICIARY OF THE CONTRACT.
MY DEAR, IT IS A GOOD THING THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS
ENDORSED THE RESOLUTION PASSED BY THE SENATE THAT ALL
FOREIGN CONTRACTORS OWED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF
NIGERIA SHOULD BE PAID, WE WILL SEIZE THIS GOOD
OPPORTUNITY TO PURPORT YOU AS ONE OF THE BENEFICIARIES
TO BE PAID.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PROPOSAL KINDLY FAX TO
ME YOUR LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE ALONG WITH YOUR DIRECT
TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS, BUT IF YOU CANNOT FOR ANY
REASON HANDLE THIS TRANSACTION I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF
YOU CAN INTRODUCE IT TO A RELIABLE AND TRUST WORTHY
PERSON IN WHICH IN ANY CASE YOUR INTEREST WILL BE
PROPERLY TAKEN CARE OF.
MEANWHILE, MY COLLEAGUES AND I HAVE DECIDED TO SHARE
THE MONEY IN THE FOLLOWING RATIO: 60% FOR MY
COLLLEAGUES AND I, THEN 30% FOR YOU THE ACCOUNT OWNER
AND 10% FOR ALL LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL EXPENSES THAT
MAY ARISE IN THE COURSE OF THIS TRANSACTION.
FUTHER DETAILS ABOUT THIS TRANSACTION WILL BE
DISCUSSED IN THE SUBSEQUENT CORRESPONDENCE.
THIS TRANSACTION IS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BUT 100%
RISK FREE. NOTE ALSO THAT THE PARTICULAR NATURE OF
YOUR BUSINESS IS IRRELEVANT TO THIS TRANSACTION AND
THIS TRANSACTION IS EXPECTED TO BE CONCLUDED WITHIN 5
WORKING DAYS SINCE ALL LOCAL CONTACTS AND ARRANGEMENTS
HAVE BEEN PROPERLY PERFECTED FOR A SMOOTH AND
SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
PRINCE BIODUN BAKARE

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
