Sir,

First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue
of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL and TOP SECRET. Though, l know
that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and
worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.
I have decided to contact you by post due to the confidentiality of this
transaction.

Let me start by first introducing myself to you. I am MR JAMES OGORODE, a
General Manager with Dirk Oil & gas Ltd, Lagos.

THE PROPOSITION:

A foreigner, late Dr Dirk Vulysteke, an Oil Merchant/contractor with the
federal Government of Nigeria, was the owner of Dirk Oil & gas, until his
sudden death one year ago in a ghastly air crash (Kenya Airways), left an
open "WILL" wish i assisted him in drafting because of his falling health
and having worked with him for over 20yrs.The said "WILL" has no beneficiary
because he was still contemplating how to share his wealth among various
organization all over the World. This he could not do before he met his
untimely death. This company will be folding up in the next one year and he
was the sole signatory of the company account, which to my knowledge has a
closing balance of US$30.5 Million (Thirty point Five million united States
Dollars) As he did not leave any "WILL" behind the management of his bank
has written series of letters to me as his (Dr Dirk Vulysteke) confidant
requesting to know what next is to be done.


It is because of the perceived impossibility of locating any of the Late
Dirk Vulysteke relative (he had no known wife and children) and coupled with
the fact that I'm under pressure from his banker's, that is why I'm
soliciting for your assistance so that you could help me to facilitate the
removal of this fund. If we do not act fast the bank reserved the right to
declare the fund "UNCLAIMABLE". And in most cases such fund would
subsequently be donated to the Trust Fund for the purchase of arms and
Ammunition, which will further enhance the course of war in Africa and the
world in general.

In order to avert this negative development, I seek for your permission to
have you stand as late Dr Dirk Vulysteke next of kin so that the fund,
US$30.5M.would be subsequently transferred and paid into your bank account
as the beneficiary's next of kin. All documents and proves to enable you get
this fund have been carefully worked out and I'm assuring you a 100% risk
free involvement. Your share would be 30% of the total amount. 10% has been
set aside for expenses while 60% shall be for me, this will eventually be
invested in your country.

If this proposal is OK by you and you do wish to take advantage of the trust
i hope to bestow on you, then kindly get immediately to me via e-mail
furnishing me with your most confidential telephone, fax number so that I
can contact you and make available relevant details of this transaction.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation.

Regards,


MR JAMES OGORODE
DIRK OIL & GAS

I must pay more attention to the spam I get, it's most entertaining, evidently. I usually just delete the stuff that's obvious.

This is actually a scam that's been around for ages. In fact, I was just reading about it (again) in Clive Anderson's Our Man in Heaven and Hell book - he'd travelled to Lagos for a TV series in which he visited the (allegedly) worst cities in the world - Lagos Calcutta The Bronx etc. At one point I believe the US State Dept travel advisory sheet for Nigeria mentioned this scam by name, even.
