Author's Note: Mr. Joshua Freeman was contacted by another Nigerian s(p/c)ammer. He sent me the e-mail immediately.
If you're playing along at home... this is the third Nigerian scam letter sent my way in the past 2 weeks, but I really hope you're not playing along at home.

Sir,

REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

First, I must start by soliciting your confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential. I want to count opn your confidence and ability to prosecute a transaction of great magnitude involving a pending business transaction requiring utmost secrecy.

We are top officials of the Federal Government Contract review Panel(CRP) who are interested in importation of goods into our country with fundswhich are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to commence this businesswe solicit your assistance to enable us transfer some trapped funds intoyour account.

Dear Mr. Momodu,

By any chance do you know a member of the Nigerian Federal Government Contract Review Panel by the name of Raymond Etiebet? I was conducting a very similar deal with him on behalf of a relative named Joshua Freeman, a man who's been so affected by age and medication that he makes Ronald Reagan seem as coherent and lively as.... well, anyone who can blink without drooling. Unfortunately, my last email to him seems to have bounced back.

Since you're both part of the same team I was wondering if you could pass me along his new contact info, unless you'd like to work out some sort of better deal with me. My loyalty is completely malleable when touched by the golden hammer of wealth.

I don't know how big your office is there, or what kind of bureaucracy you've got going on but if I can pick up with Mr. Etiebet or you where I left off, I'd be much obliged. Let me know if I need to fill you in on the details of my previous conversations with him.

Dr. Jonathan Land
Power of Attorney for Joshua Freeman

The source of this fund is as follows: In the past few years, the Federal Government of Nigeria allocated funds to its Ministries and Agenciesbased on their requests for funds for the execution of projects. Due to the Government's Central Accounting System, all such allocated funds werepaid into the Central Bank of Nigeria, which is the apex bank as well as the banker to the Federal Government. The federal government Governmentof Nigeria therefore set up a Contract review Panel(CRP) with a view to identifying duly completed projects, unutilized funds and make recommendations as appropriate. We have identified a lot of the unutilized funds and we want to transfer some of it abroad. However, by virtueof our position as civil servants and members of this Panel, we cannot acquirethis money in our names. I have therefore been mandated, as a matter of trustby my colleagues in the Panel, to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$24,500,000.00 (Twenty Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars).

After the transfer, we have agreed to share the money thus, 25% for the account owner (you), 70% for us (the officials) and 5% to be used forthe reimbursement of taxation and all local and foreign expenses. It isfrom our 70% that we wish to commence the importation business. Please notethat this transaction is 100% safe and we hope to complete the transfer latestin ten (10) banking days from the date of receipt of the information below.

We urgently require the following from you by fax;

1. Name of Beneficiary (account owner), telephone and fax numbers foreasy communication.
2. Name and Full Address of Company.
3. Complete particulars of the Bank where you wish the funds to be transferred. This should include the bank address, account number, the telephone and fax numbers of the bank.

The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job description respectively. An application for payment will be made infavour of the beneficiary (you or your company) and the funds shall be transferred to the bank and account number specified in the application.

We are looking forward to doing business with you and please treat this transaction as strictly confidential. Acknowledge the receipt of thismail using the above Fax number or email.

Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.
