Dear Partner to be,

My committee - The Niger Delta Development Corporation(NDDC)-which is in charge of managing and supervising the disbursement of oil sales revenues for the Nigerian government which covers payment to foreign and local contractors who has executed contracts for our country.The revenues under our control runs into several hundred of millions of dollars monthly.My self and other colleagues in the NDDC are currently in need of a foreign partner with whose bank account we shall transfer the sum of Forty Nine Million Five Hundred Thosand United States Dollars($49.5m).This fund was accrued from various over invoicing of foreign contractors payments made over the years.
The Total fund is presently waiting in the Government Account named CBN/FGN INDEPENDENT REVENUE account number 400-939134 with J.P.MORGAN CHASE BANK,New York.You can do your independent verification of this. However, by virtue of our position as civil servants and members of the NDDC, we cannot acquire this funds in our name. This is because as top civil servants, we are not allowed by law of the land to own or operate bank accounts outside our country for now.

That's been out there for at least 25 years! Now it has just made it's way to e-mail from hardcopy.
Seems your especially suspectible to bombardment if you are involved heavily in import/export.
At least it's fun to think it MAY be true! LOL
