All that money and no sense of humor...
I have received so many offers to get some of those Nigerian millions that are just sitting there, that I finally decided to respond. Their initial email started like this:
We wish to solicit your assistance to provide us with a solution to a money
transfer of Thirty nine Million United States Dollars. We got your contact
from my brother in law that works with the Federal Ministry Of External
Affairs in Nigeria and a careful study of your business activities confirm
that you are the one we need. We are members of the special committee newly
instituted by the present civilian administration of President Olusegun
Obansanjo. Our duty is to review all contracts awarded to foreign
firms/contractors from the Ministry of Petroleum from 1993 to May 28th
1999.
So I reponded:
This sounds wonderful. Perhaps you would be interested in a bridge I'm
selling in Brooklyn.
Apparently, that sounded good to them. Their response:
Dear Sir
Thanks for your message. I welcome your interest to work with me in this transaction.
What I need from you to commence the process of realizing the funds is the name of the company on which you will want the funds to come with
your full address, telephone and fax lines.. I will update your company’s name into our existing records so that your name will reflect in the list of contractors whose payments are long overdue. Upon achieving this, I will secure the Certificate of Contract Registration in your company’s as evidence to show that you are one of the registered contractors to the government.
I will subsequently apply for the claim of the funds in the name of your company using my office machinery. The paying authority will notify you immediately the payment is ready.
I am so gonna be rich...
