419 scam: "ben adek" <benadek@msn.com> RE:BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

Dear sir,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP - STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
Firstly, I must solicit your strictest confidentiality in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL and ?TOP SECRET.? Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. We have decided to contact you first by your email due to the urgency of this transaction, as we have been reliably informed that it will take at least two to three weeks for a normal post to reach you. So we decided it is best using the email.
Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am CHIEF.BEN ADEK, a senior official in the Nigerian Labour Congress and I head a Three-man tender board in charge of Contracts Awards and payment Approvals. I came to know of you in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential business transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence. I and my colleagues are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel. Our duties include evaluation,vetting, approval for payment of contract jobs done for the NLC, etc. In order to commence this business, we solicit for your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said funds.
The source of this funds is as follows: During the last military regime here in Nigeria, this committee awarded a contract of US$400,000,000.00 (Four Hundred Million United States Dollars) to five construction firms on behalf of the Petroleum Ministry for the supply, construction and installation of Oil Pipeline from Warri to PortHarcourt. During this process the military government left the throne and we are yet to pay the Five companies in charge of the contract and now we need a trustworthy fellow that we act as the head to the five companies to transfer the money to you as we are prohibited by the œCode of Conduct Bureau? (Civil Service Laws) from opening / operating foreign accounts in our names, making it impossible for us to acquire the money in our names. I have, therefore, been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$400,000,000.00 (Four Hundred Million United States Dollars), hence we are writing you this letter.
My colleagues and I have agreed that if your company can act as the beneficiary of this contract on our behalf, you or your company will retain 50% of the total amount of US$400,000,000.00 (Four Hundred Million United States Dollars), while 50% will be for us (members of this panel) . Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return we demand your complete honesty and trust. This is why we have decided that this transaction will be based completely on the following:
(a). Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.
(b). That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.
(c). That upon receipt of the funds, you will promptly release our share (50%) on demand after you have removed your 50% and all expenses have been settled.
(d). You must be ready to produce us with enough information about yourself to put our minds at rest.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we hope to conclude the business in Seven Bank working days from the date of receipt of the necessary information and requirement from you.
Please, acknowledge the receipt of this letter using my email address. I will bring you into the complete picture of the transaction when I have heard from you.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated as we are already behind schedule for this financial quarter.
Thank you and God bless.
Yours faithfully,
Chief Ben Adek
