Dear sir  (What if I'm a chick?)

After a serious thought, i decided to reach you directly and personally
because i do not have anything against you, but your Nigerian (Aha...do I sense a disturbance in the force?  Could this be another classic Nigerian scam?) partners. i
am the deputy governor of central bank of Nigeria in charge of wire
transfer/telex department of the central bank of Nigeria,Some time in the
past your
Nigerian partners approached me through a friend of mine who works with one
of the ministries here and requested that i assist them conclude a money
transfer deal .they told me to help program the transfer to you.

According to them, they wanted to use this strategy to transfer a huge
amount of united states dollars, the money has been floating in the CBN
suspense account since then. we agreed that once i do this, they would give
me $100,000.00 and give me another us$100,000.00 when i release the fund to
your account. when they saw that i have programmed it and your name has
been approved among the list of those to be paid, instead of giving me the
agreed deposit of us$100,000.00, they started avoiding me and resorted to
threats.i immediately deleted the transfer code of the fund, which is only
known to me because of my position, and released other contractors fund and
inheritance payments without yours. They became angry. When they saw that
their threat did not work, they started bribing other officials to get
another approval to transfer the money to you without success. i want you
to
know that i am 100% responsible for the delay and obstructions because of
their breach of trust.

If you doubt what i have just told you, then consider what has transpired
through out your claim process, they continue to ask you to pay money and
at the end no result and they still tell you to another fee with any result
yet. they are simply wicked. now if you want us to work together, these are
my conditions.

No. 1: I will have 20% of the money because it is only the two of us left
for now.  (You will?  20% of the non-existant money?  Hmm...20% of nothing is nothing.  Sounds good to me so far...)

No. 2: You will assist my son to open an account in your country where i
will pay in my own share.  (Awfully demanding, aren't you?  I will?  Says who?)

No.3: It will be useless and mere waste of time and money if you continue
with any other person, so we will conclude this transaction with utmost
secrecy with the above telephone and email only.  (Of course...don't tell anyone, so you can scam me out of thousands.  I see...)

No. 4: You will provide me with your private telephone, mobile and a
private email to facilitate easy communication between you and i only. if
these
conditions are acceptable to you, contact me as soon as possible to let us
finalize, so that the funds can be released to your account after due
protocols has been observed. but if you are not interested, i advice you to
forget the fund and stop wasting your time with your so called partners.  (Oh...so very demanding again!  I will?  I think not.  Nope...don't hafta, don't wanna, not gonna.)

For further response send to my secured private email

Best regards.

Deputy governor, (CBN) (Most people capitalize their title, dude.  Seriously.)

Classic Nigerian scam, with a twist.  He's trying to convince me that he's helping me...you know, out of the goodness of his sweet little heart.  Truth is, he'd just as soon rob me blind.  And I guarantee he doesn't work for a bank.  Remember, kids, if it sounds too good to be true...
