ATTENTION:

We hope this notification meets you in a good state of mind
and health.The Federal bureau of investigation (FBI) Washington,D.C in
conjunction with some other relevant Investigation Agencies here in the
United states of America have recently been informed through our Global
intelligence monitoring network that you presently have a transaction
going on with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) with regards to your
 over-due
contract payment which according to their records was fully endorsed in
 your favor.

It might interest you to know that we have taken out time in screening
through this project as stipulated through the usual protocol of
 operation and have
finally confirmed that your contract payment is 100% genuine and hitch
free from all incumbrances and of which you have the lawful right to
 claim your
fund without any further delay. Having notified you of this, we
advise that you go ahead in dealing with the Central Bank office
accordingly as we will be monitoring all their services with you as
 well
as your correspondence with them at all levels of your claim.

In addition, please also be informed that we recently had a meeting
 with the
Executive Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, in the person of
 Prof.
Chukwuma Soludo and Mr. Kingsley Agwor along with some of the top
officials of the ministry regarding your case and they made us
understand that your file has been held in suspense depending on when
 you
personally come for the claim. They also told us that the only problem
they are facing right now is that some unscrupulous elements are using
this project as an avenue to scam innocent people off their hard earned
money by impersonating the Executive Governor and the Central Bank
 office.

We were also made to understand that a lady with name Mrs. Joan
 C.Bailey
from OHIO has already contacted them and also presented to them all
necessary documents evidencing your claim purported to have been
signed personally by you prior to the release of your contract fund
 valued
at about US$8,000,000.00 (Eight million united states dollars),but the
Central Bank office did the wise thing by insisting on hearing from you
personally before they go ahead on wiring your funds to the Bank
information which was forwarded to them by the above named Lady.That is
the main reason why they contacted us so as to assist them in making
 the
investigations.

We were further informed that we should warn our dear citizens who must
have been informed of the contract payment which was awarded to them
 from
the Central Bank of Nigeria, to be very careful prior to this
irregularities so that they don't fall victim to this ugly
circumstance.And should in case you are already dealing with anybody or
office claiming to be from the Central Bank of Nigeria, you are further
advised to STOP further contact with them in your best interest and
 then

immediately the real office of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) only
 with
the below informations accordingly:

It is ILLEGAL for any official notice to be sent via Email in any country in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No guarantee can be made of a received email.
Official notice must be "served in person" or received by signature, Registered mail to be legal in any country.

Too good to be true, you bet!

Cheers,
Sean

I get junk mail like that a lot I just delete it and forget it.  One thing I have learned is if it sounds to good to be true then it is.  Delete it and forget about it.

Yes, I get them all the time. They want to get you to tell them your personal information so they can rip you off. Delete and block them from bothering you again.

Before the days of internet, we even received a letter in the mail similar to that. I took it to work with me at the bank and interofficed it to our security department. They immediately said it was a hoax.

Remember what your mom always said, "If it/he (LOL) sounds too good to be true, it/he probably is."

We saw several similar letters during our annual "training day" at the bank. The local police department brought some in for us to see. It's amazing how many people fall for those. It's really sad. Some of the letters we saw threw up so many red flags to me. Especially the ones with typos. You would think if it was an official letter they would know how to spell!!!  ::)

Methinks we are all wise enough to know that this sort of cr*p is exactly that.  I have never had this e mail simply because I never open any such and either have them delivered to my spam box or I delete immediately if they manage to escape that fate
I well remember a friend getting a letter similar to this from Nigeria many many years ago wanting his bank details to enable vast sums of money to be deposited to his account.  He was deeply disappointed when I advised him (in a legal capacity) to ignore such obvious criminality
Lets all keep our heads on our shoulders :)
There is nothing for nothing in this evil and corrupt world we live in today

God forgive the poor bastard who taught Nigerians how to read and write English.....  The sad part is that they find people stupid enough to fall for their silly games...  They are proof of the saying that there is a sucker born every minute because apparently they have found them otherwise these stupid e-mails would have dried up by now....

Is there anyone in Nigeria who is honest and works hard for a living, other than ripping people off?
