I just received the strangest piece o' email I think I've ever read... Read this!
------------
Dear Sir,
I got your contact through the email business directory and decided to send my proposal to you. I am MUYIWA IGE the first son of the late chief BOLA IGE,the attorney general of the federal republic of Nigeria who was killed by hired assasins on the 23rd of december 2001 by an
unidentified gun men believed to be linked to the present government.Two months before he was eventually killed,there was attempt on his life but fortunately God speared his life for us.
It was then, he had to reveal some vital informations as regards his life to me before he was finally killed in December. All accounts belonging to my father both local and abroad had been frozen and his investments seized by the government believing in thier false allegation that he made away with $2 billion dollars of (NEPA) National Electricity Power Authority of which I know is just a ploy to eliminate him by the people in power that he is fustrating thier evil intentions through the Human Rights public hearing for violation of right and cruelsome killings during the military regime to carry out thier traits to suffer the masses for thier selfish interest instead of the interest of the nation.We are
now in a dilema as our live are in danger till after the investigations.Two weeks before christmas holiday in 2001 being on the 4th of December, my dad spoke to me at lenght about life and its realities. He told me he deposited two trunk boxes containing USD $9.5m with a Security and
Finance Company overseas, with the intention of retrieving it himself before he was eventually killed before the christmas. According to him the contents of the box was registered as government classified papers with his influence and was moved out of my country through diplomatic courrier.He wanted to safeguard the funds for foriegn investment after his retirement before he was killed.In the light of the above and based on the fact that I am the next of kin I am now contacting you as a foreigner to assist me in retrieving the boxes and subsequently deposit of the funds into your foreign account.
My mother and I have agreed to give you 20% of the fund for your
assistance and 5% for any expenses you might incure in the course of this transaction, we want to believe that you will not sit on the money when paid into your account. I want you to understand that there is no risk
involved as we have worked out modalities for the smooth actualization of this goal.I will require the following for effecting the documents of claim and identification.:
1] Your private telephone and fax numbers.
2].Your contact address I will send you the following:
1] The airway bill used in sending the boxes
2] The password being the security code
3] The deposit certificate
I wish to state here that we are left with nothing as we survive by the grace of God. I hope you understand our predicament so as to save me and my family from hopeless future .
Waiting your urgent response.
Best regards,Muyiwa IGE

My mother manages a department of one of the biggest banks here in Portugal, and she told me that every bank is flooded with Nigerian scams daily (fax, letters, email, you name it). It' been around for years. Even before Internet arrived.
