So I just got this email today and I think this is my chance to make it big. It looks legit and by the looks of it, it's just waiting for me to seize the moment.
"Dear sir,
Although this letter will come to you as a surprise from someone you do not know before but it was based on recommendation from a friend who advised me to invest in your country that I decided to contact you and introduce myself . My name is Hassan Adedeji, I was a special steward to the late head of state of Military Government in Nigeria, General Sanni Abacha who died some time in 1998 while in power. I have worked in Government house for the six years. It was a great opportunity for me to achieved what I got today which I believe God is asking me to write to you for your utmost assistance. I also believe that the same God will bind my words with you on trust. Amen.
To be explicit, I have secured the sum of US$18.5million dollars and sent it out of the country during the time of the sudden death of the late head of state General Sanni Abacha. The said amount was kept in the presidential guesthouse for security logistics because of how the Government was at war with the pro-democracy groups in the country since the late Head of state was planning to succeed himself as a civilian president.
At that point, there was power struggle in the country in which people in better and strategic positions made away with substantial amount of money which I was also lucky to secure what I declared to you with confidence that, you will not allow anybody to know or hear about it because it is highly confidential. Since the Government has been changed in Nigeria on the 29th of May 1999,to civilian rule, I had been stopped not to travel outside Nigeria, my international passport had been seized and my movement has also been restricted. This is the most important reason that I needed your assistance to quickly claim this money on my behalf at where I deposited outside the shore of Nigeria since my intention is to put this money for an investment in your country in non speculative business where my name will not be mentioned.
I have a percentage for you in this transaction when you give me your words indicating your interest. I will also disclose more information to you such as the particulars of where the said money is kept and the certificate of deposit which shall be sent to you as well as other relevant document.
I have inform the security company that I have a partner who will call to confirm the safety of the deposit. Please send a reply through the above e-mail box.
Yours truly.
Hassan Adedeji
