Cool Massive Wind up Potential...

I normally just click on "report junk mail" when I get email from someone I dont know but today I did differently and read this...

Re: BUSINESS PROPOSAL.

Sir,

Grant me the indulgence of this unsolicited mail to you. I am DR.JOHNSON MADU
the Director, Foreign Contract Payment Department Federal Ministry of
Agriculture. I wish to express my willingness to transfer an overdue contract
sum of US$15.3m to your Account through the Central Bank of Nigeria, resulting
from debt of contract & services rendered to agricultural development project
(ADP).

This money emanated from over invoicing in a contract awarded to a foreign firm,
for supply and installation of Agricultural Equipments and Fertilizer to
Agricultural Development Project (ADP) by the former minister of agriculture for
his personal purse but unfortunately, he was unable to transfer this fund to his
purse before the emergence of this present civilian administration.

I discovered this amount from the manifest recently and secured a payment
authority to authenticate the transfer. Your Co-operation is highly required for
this project, note that you will be entitled to share 30% of the fund, 60% for
me and 10% has been mapped out for any incidental expenses incurred in the
process of the transfer.
This Deal is 100% covered from any form of enquiry, the approvals obtained will
be dispatch to you, informing you extensively the progress on the transfer. You
are requested to send the following information urgently:

(1.) Name and Address of Your Bank (2.) Account No. and Account Name
(3.) Company’s Name or personal name and Address (4.) Office Telephone/Fax No.
(5.) Mobile Phone / Residential Phone No:

I have successfully worked out a solution to effect transfer within seven (7)
working days. Finally, Note a High Degree of Trust and Confidentiality is
required from both parties. Looking forward to your timely response.

Your urgent reply is highly anticipated.

PLEASE REPLY ONLY ON THIS EMAIL ADDRESS;johnsonmadu@masrawy.com

Best Regards,

DR.JOHNSON MADU.

Director, Foreign Contract Payment (FMA)
I know many scoobynetters have had these before, often with hilarious results, but should I just delete it or wind the ****** up?

Also - maybe we should make it a scoobynet wide wind up - I'll post the emails and we can send replies based on whoever can think of the biggest pile of **** to feed this bloke...

Considering how many people know about this, I should think about 75% of the people that get one delete it. Of the remaining 25% about 95% will send some "get lost" or wind up type message and a few muppets will think it is genuine. If you want to waste your time trying a wind up feel free. I suspect the people at the other end would soon work it out and would have you signed up on every SPAM and **** mailing list known to man.
