I am attaching the e-mail I received:
ASALAM ALAIKUM MY BROTHER !!!
Greetings!!!
Dear friend ,
I come to you with a sincere heart believing in Almighty God that you will consider my plight and come to help and also benefit from me.I am Mrs. Amina Mohammed, cousin and Personal Assistant to former Nigeria Head of State, Late General Sanni Abacha who died on the 8th July 1998 while in power.
Before I proceed please accept my apology for the embarrassment this mail might cause you for coming from a total stranger who you do not know. Actually I got your contact from the Internet; please do not feel bad about it because I am compelled to reach you due to urgent need to safeguard the money in question. Once again, forgive me and come to my aid. Please read the following carefully.Sometime in early 1997, my boss late Gen. Sanni Abacha entrusted to me the sum of US$20.5M in cash (Twenty million, five hundred thousand US dollars)due to the trust and confidence he had in me. This money was meant for campaign in his self-succession id but unfortunately he suddenly died before actualization of his aspiration. This amount of $20.5M in CASH was deposited with a security company which I will disclose in subsequent mail in a giant trunk box as diplomatic consignments In agreement with Mr.Mohammed Abacha who is the son of late General Abacha and the heir to the money.
I write to solicit your assistance for the money to be transferred to your custody. Note that Mr.Mohammed Abacha is currently in detention by the present Nigeria Government for reasons linked to activities of his father when he was in power. Now based on the business trust I have on you, I would want you to come forward and receive this consignment containing the money in cash on our behalf from the security company for subsequent disbursement between you ad us. Understand that we are soliciting your assistance because the present Nigerian Government is seizing/freezing any Bank Account or valuables belonging to the late Head of state's family and relatives. In fact we do not have enough money now to sustain our family so, I will appreciate if you can consider our plight and assist us. For your assistance, we have agreed to compensate you with 20% of the total amount ($20.5) while the remaining 80% is for us. We hope to invest part of our share in your country on viable area of investment as you may advise
us.
If you are interested you will need to visit the Security Company for clearance of the consignment. I assure you that the transaction is 100% risk free. Please I implore you to keep this transaction absolutely secret against negative exposure. I would want you to contact me immediately so that we can proceed with the business. You should please on reply enclose your private telephone, fax number so that we can have more confidential correspondence.
Best regards,
Mrs.Amina Mohammed.

As we was told by the FBI when we got ripped off for $65,000.00 about five years ago with the Nigerian scam. (If it sounds too good to be true it is).
We were unable to recap any of the money because we sent it out of America. The FBI had no way to trace the money or the expensive gifts that preceeded the money.
We were real sucker on this one, we felt sorry for the people and wanted to help. They told us to send gifts, and named off what they wanted to present to the banker, lawyer etc. to persuade them to help get the money out of Nigeria and into our bank account.
They wanted our bank account number so the money could be transferred in. Then there were some problems and their attorney needed some money to take care of the problems. That's when they needed us to send them, first $5,000. then more problems so they needed more money etc. etc.
When our bank was having a problem getting the money to go there. They got down right rude, then they made it sound like they were in real distress. (People dying because we couldn't get the money to them).
It ticked us off when we called to see if they had received the money, and the guy sounded drunk and said they were having a celebration in a big resort drinking champagne. (On our hard earned money).
The FBI agent said "Do not go there to try to get the money back". He said some people have tried and have not returned.
Believe me, there is no money coming to America, it only goes out. There are no people who come to look at investments or to get their percent from you (there is NO MONEY sent to you). There are no investments, it's a diversion tactic. (They play games with your mind).
All they truly want is your money sent to them. Do not believe a single thing they say. Do not send them any money. Do not give them your bank account number. Above all do not feel guilty or bad.
If you're already involved with this scam, call the FBI, find out for yourself what we hated to learn.
