BARRISTER ANDY COKER & CO.
IKOYI-LAGOS.
FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION:
RE: REQUEST FOR MUTUALLY BENEFITTING ENDEAVOUR.
I humbly crave your indulgence in sending you this mail, if the
contents does not meet with your personal and business ethics, I appologise in advance.
I am Barrister Andy Coker ( attorney at law), I represent Alhaji
Ishmaila Gwarzo estates. Alhaji Gwarzo was the chief security advicer of the then military leader of this country(Nigeria) in the person of Late
General Sani Abacha who died on the 8th of June 1998. With the advent of a new democratic dispensation in the country under the leadership of Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo (Rtd), my client has come under severe persecution due to the sensitive position he held in the last military regime, presently he is under house arrest restricted only to the confines of his village.
The main purpose of this mail is to intimate you of a business
proposal that might be of interest to you. My client has informed me of the
existence of funds deposited with a security company abroad. This fund came about as part of security votes that were allocated to my client's
portfolio during his tenure as chief security advicer to the then president. What happened was that he had part of the funds transferred from the vaults of the Central Bank Of Nigeria to this security outfit with the aim of purchasing arms and ammunitions for the personal security outfit of the then president.
But before the purchase could take place the president died. my
client has deceided to keep this for himself as all his properties has been
confisticated by the present regime. But due to his incarceration he cannot travel out and effect the change of possession to his benefit.
I have been mandated by my client to source for a foreign partner
that can help him facilitate the change of possession. the deposit certificate
and the code needed for theexecution of this endeavour are in my
possession.
my client is also well disposed towards reaching an agreement with
you that will be at par with the help required of you.
The funds in question is USD33.6M (Thirty-Three Million, Six Hundred
Thousand United States dollars Only). Should this proposition be of interest
to you, you can reach me through my e-mail address thus; andy_coker@web-mail.com.ar
so that we can go through the rudiments of this endeavour.
I remain most obliged.
Barr Andy Coker.

This is known as the 419 scam and it's worked for them loads of times. They end up asking you for an upfront deposit, and then after a while they say some complications have come up and can you deposit more.

I also can't believe people fall for shit like this?!

I can't believe you guys actually get spam mail...

I have only gotten a few of those. And I always block them. I haven't been bothered with spam all year.
