Dear sir,

My name is Mr. V.A Giwa, The Assistant Manager, credit and foreign bills of UNION BANK PLC.
I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank, his name is Mr.Khal Hamzat with account
number 14-2552004 he was among the 143 people who died in the GULF AIR FLIGHT 072 plan
crash on the 26th of August 2000.

Since the demise of this customer, I personally has watched with keen interest to see the next of kin
but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of $10.5 m, [Ten million five hundred
thousand United States dollars] which has been with my branch for a very long time.

On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin as no information was
filled in for the next of kins position, and as it is the bank has started a review of all dormant accounts, this
is done on a yearly basis. All dormant funds are remitted into the government treasury, hence I want to use
this sizable opportunity in asking your assistance in the successful transfer of this funds to a safe account
away from the government.

In view of this I got your contact through uprooted search after Realizing that your Name and Country is
similar to the deceased. I will give you 40% of the total.

Upon the receipt of your response, I will send you by fax or e-mail the application, bank's fax number and the
next step to take. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not
entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer to your country will be facilitated through a most secured
method to be agreed upon by both parties, this transaction can be finalized within at the shortest possible time.
When you receive this letter.

Kindly send me an e-mail signifying Your decision including your private Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication.

Respectfully submitted,

Mr. V.A. Giwa

Dear Sir/Madam

I am an Engineer with the South African Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and I am also a
member of the Republic of South Africa Contract Award and Monitoring Commitee in the Ministry of
Energy and Mineral Resources. It is a pleasure involving you in this project. Although, this may sound
strange but I seek your indulgence and pray you view it seriously.

Two years ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources
by my committee. This contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$14.3Million. This was done delibrately.
The over invoicing was a deal by my commitee to benefit from the project. We now desire to transfer this
money which is in a suspense account with the MEMR into any oversea account which we expect you
to provide for us.

For providing the account where we shall remit the money, you will be entitled to 30% of the money, 10%
will be set aside for expenses incurred by both parties during course of transfer, while the remaining 60%
will be for my partners and myself.

I would require the following:
1)Bank details ( Name and address / Account no/Beneficiary name )
2)Private Telephone and Fax number of Beneficiary

The above information would be used to make formal application as a matter of procedure for
the release of the money and onward transfer to your account. It does not matter whether or not
your company does contract projects of this of this nature described here, the assumption is that
your company won the major contract and subcontracted it out to other companies.
More often than not, big trading companies or firms of unrelated fields win major contracts and
subcontract to more specialized firms for execution of such contracts. We have strong and reliable
connections, top government contacts at the South Africa Reserve Bank and Ministry of Finance and
we have no doubt that all this money will be released and transferred if we get the necessary foreign
partner to assist us in this deal. Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall
through our connection withdraw all documents used from all the concerned Government Ministries
for 100% security. We are civil servants and we will not want to miss this opportunity.

Please contact me immediately through my above Telephone or email contact, whether or not you are
interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this
deal. But where you are interested, send the required informations aforementioned herein without delay
as time is of essence in this business.
I want to assure you once again that this transaction is 100% risk free both now and in the future.
I await in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.

Yours faithfully,

Engr. Zulu Makaleni.

Dear Friend,

Let me introduce myself, I am OSMAN MANSSARY, the son of
late Sheikh OSMAN Abdullai, of blessed memory who was once a chief
Geologist of the Sierra Leonian National Diamond Mining Corporation.
Who became a victim of the rebel forces fighting against Ahmed Tijan
Kabbah's Government.

My mother informed me of a deposit of a huge amount of
money my father deposited in Netherlands with a Security Company and
she gave me all the documents and proof that he has deposited with
the Company.$25.5million US Dollars in three sealed boxes, which he
deposited in the form of jewelry and precious items to protect the
fund. The Security Company therefore does not know the real
content of the deposit. I have sent a photo copy of the documents to
the Security Company for confirmation and they confirmed it's true.

Because of the political instability and crises in
Sierra Leone, I am presently a refugee residing in a
refugee camp in The Netherlands .Hence; we will want you to assist us
to secure the fund out of Netherlands as soon as we get the fund out
of the Security Company. There after we will now map out how you will
assist us to invest part of the fund in any kind of Business that
will be profitable, and our relocation from Netherland to
the country of investment. In addition, for your
assistance my mother and I have agreed to give you 20%
of the total amount for assistance.

I will therefore request that you contact me through
the above e-mail address.
so that we discuss first, for me to know
if I will do this business with you or not.
Thanks for your co-operation in advance. I am looking
forward to hearing from you soon.
Try to reply this message as soon as possible
Best Regard,

OSMAN MANSSARY

There are those who would criticize Nigerian spam, but they are wrong, dim naysayers who wouldn't know a good thing or high art if it slapped them on the butt. Nigerian spam, ultimately, is the essential art form of the early 21st century, and it a work of both beauty and practicality.

Nigerian spam...

• Is like music, an eternal round of "Row row row your boat" (or maybe "99 bottles of beer on the wall")--endlessly protean, endlessly the same.
  
• Is optimistic; when war or debt threatens, Nigerian spam is the giver of hope for millions.
  
• Promotes spirituality in life--once one has responded with a bank account number, one will be freed from one's obsession with money and material things, and freed indeed from both money and material things themselves.
  
• Is a great aid to meditation, and at least three bodhisattva crossed the river to Nirvana while meditating on Nigerian spam. This is a mostly true fact.
  
• Is Third World African in origin, and helps redress, in even a small way, the evils of the rich, powerful, bullying West.
  
• Is just repayment for the evils of colonial rule--"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," you should say as you read Nigerian spam. "Send me more."
  
• Promotes international understanding, not only with Nigerians but with people from other African countries whose names will pass the local spam filter.
  
• Is a good way to impress people around you, as my good friend Eki Omorodion, wife of the late Chief Joseph Omorodion, was telling me just the other day.
  
• Makes great party favors after the first keg is dry; your friends just won't stop laughing as they toss you into the pool.
  
• Is a fine source of supply for those long wilderness hikes when things are a little loose and the only leaves handy are poison ivy.
  

So enjoy! My favorite Nigerian spam!!
