Hello,


I am the Group Executive Director of Accounts/Finance at
the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), and this money
originated from over-invoiced contract executed for the corporation some
years back. A foreign firm has long completed this contract and the
contractor duly paid.

I now seek if you would permit the surplus
to be remitted into your account. As a matter of fact, we are top
government officials and we cannot come out openly to claim this amount


I need a good and reliable person, we can trust to actualize this dream.
The money is from oil proceeds and its legit. We intend moving it by
diplomatic means to you or to a safe and secured location of your
choice.


I shall however leave out other details of this
transaction until I receive an affirmation of your desire to
participate. Please contact me on my personal email address below for
more details: [email protected] For more details please visit http://www.nnpcgroup.com/ AboutNNPC/Board.aspx

Respectfully,

Mr. Michael A Arokodare

Well, being that bit older and dafter and having had direct experience of how money-laundering works (or appears to) then immediately I read the poor grammar I saw it for what it is and each time I receive one I try to understand why they bother in the first place. It is so contrived and badly thrown together to the extent that no-one would surely think it as being genuine!
I should perhaps add that out of all the 'variations on a theme' I have never been approached by a bogus charity or a 'lost pet' scam in all the time I've been on the Net (dates back to circa 2001) so the various types of scam are still being perpetuated but most of them don't ever come my way.
Googlng part of the leading line puts everything firmly into perspective. These people should be found, exposed and placed as far away as possible from any computer for the remainder of their stupid, bungling lives.
Like, a desert island? Without any electricity, of course (and no solar panels, either)
Yours,
Mountainstream
