On the 28th I received an email that was virtually identical, except it came from a John Ibe instead of Walter Obi and it requested a reply by fax.
What is the point?

Add again on the 9th of April. This time it comes from a Dr. John Karibe White who wants help embezzling US$30 million from the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People.
by jez on 10th Apr 2001Another day, another version. The last one claims to need assistance moving $49million in cash and a box of diamonds out of "war torn" Sierra Leone. Any bets on how much and where the next one will be?
by jez on 24th Apr 2001they contact YOU cos you're an MD
they want your signature on your headed notepaper
then they use it to create fales money transfer instructions and steal money from you

Betreff: I NEED YOUR CORPORATION AND HELP
(PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL)
Dear Sir/Madam,
In order to transfer out US$16.000.000 (Sixteen
Million United States Dollars) from African
Development Bank, I have the courage to ask you to
look for a reliable and honest person who will be
capable for this important business, believing that
you will never let me down either now or in future.
I am DR JAMES ONU, the Chief auditor of African
Development Bank (ADB). There is an account opened in
this bank in 1999 and since 2001 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 would be forfeited
for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr. Smith B.
Andreas, a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger gold co.,
a geologist by profession and he died since 2000. No
other person knows about this account or any thing
concerning it, the account has no other benefic! iary
and my investigation proved to me as well that his
company does not know anything about this account and
the amount involved.
I want to transfer this money into a safe foreigners
account abroad, but I don't know any foreigner. I am
only contacting you as a foreigner because this money
cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can only
be approved to any foreign account because the money
is in USD dollars and the former owner of the account,
Mr. Smith B. Andreas is a foreigner too. I know that
this message will come to you as a surprise as we
don't know ourselves before. We will sign an
agreement, 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 th! e
next step to take immediately. Send also your private
telephone and fax number including the full details of
the account to be used for the transfer.
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
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 a truthful person in this business because I
don't want to make mistakes. 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. I will destroy
all documents of transaction immediately we receive
this money leaving no trace to any place. You can also
come to discuss with me face to face after whom I will
make this remittance in your presence and two of us
will fly to your country at least two days ahead of
the money going into the account.
I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately
I hear from you that you are ready to act and receive
this fund in your account. I will use my position and
influence to effect legal approvals and onward
transfer of this money to your ac! count with
appropriate clearance forms of the ministries and
foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
25% of the total amount, 70% will be for me, while 5%
will be for expenses both parties might have incurred
during the process of transfer. I look forward to your
earliest reply.please do get back to me through this e-mail
address ( dr_james_onu @yahoo.com)
Best Regards,
DR JAMES ONU

You are lucky I never got your e-amil before. I don't know how stupid or desperate you think Americans are, or if you are from a foreign nation, but you've got lots to learn along with improving your pidgin English. What kind of fool do you think I am? You are obviously the absolute dumbest lame-brain that ever e-mailed me. I hope you get convicted of international mail fraud and spend 90 years in one of your country's darkest, dankest prison cells, rotting away like your credibility that you are some kind of bank manager.
What I'd really like to know is if you think that sending an e-mail like that wouldn't get noticed by some information expert? Don't you think that if this is your true identity you would be dead right now? 26 million dollars could probably buy the country you are supposedly from. Please.
O.K., jack-ass, send me the 26 million dollars, and you don't mind if I bring a few friends with a few guns do you? You stupid a--hole. The reason you are resorting to such measures is because your whole country is wracked with prisoner stupid-s--ts like you that don't even know how to pull off a good con. You need to save up a few months of hard field labor and rent some American bank-heist movies if you want to even begin to imagine how to con a mother----er.
And if you didn't know, you idiot, you will now: Chemical Engineers are some of the most intelligent people around. If you wanted some dumb-ass to fall for your rediculous, unfathomable plot you should have targeted some a--hole that is heavily involved with something like Gamblers Anonymous or Amway. They are probably the only people that fit your criteria for being more willing to go for a long shot than stupid, with pyramid schemes and odds stacked against them.
What I would enjoy more than sending this e-mail to you would be to take part in the FBI sting to lure your ass here and lock your ass up. And if you are pitifully stupid enough to e-mail back after this long time, remember that you should be looking over your shoulder, because you never know who knows who in America, I may have a few buddies stationed around Africa with my best interests in mind.....if you know what I mean.

Goodday? From Mr. John
I am Mr.John Chukwu, the Chief Auditor of
Oceanic bank .There
was an account opened in this bank in 1993 and
since 1999 nobody has
operated on this account till date. After my
long investigation to my
greatest suprise I came to find out that the
owner of the account who
is Mr. Smith B. Andreas, a foreigner, crude
oil exporter, who died in
2000.This account has no beneficiary, infact
no other person knows
about this account or anything about the
account, and my investigation
proved to me as well that this company
does not exist anymore in
Nigeria.
The amount involved is USD 36M,
which i seek your consent
to transfer to a safe foreign account. I do
not know any foreigner
that i can trust either than you, I am only
contacting you as a
foreigner because this money can not be claimed by
a Nigerian because
the rightful owner of the account (Mr. Smith) is a
foreigner. At the
conclusion of this business, you will be given 20%
ofthe total amount,
75% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses
both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring.
Thank you and God
Bless.

This Mr. Andreas has died on different years...And has numerous jobs...I, too have received those e-mails. I've only been deleting them and they still get into my inbox...I must need a new filter or something. There is a new one out there now, "URGENT IN REGARDS TO YOUR FAMILY" With a title like that I had to look. And noticed it was another Million dollar scheme for me to send them "funds"
This Canadian has had enough to be honest. Or Can something be done?
