GOOD DAY
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSFER OF US$40,000.000,00 (FORTY MILLION U.S DOLLARS ONLY).
I fervently pray that this letter soliciting for your kind assistance will not cause any embarrassment to you. I am aware that we have never seen each other before, neither have we exchanged any form of formal contact or correspondence before. I am also, aware that this world is full of dishonest people but I sincerely hope that my humble letter will touch your kind heart to assist us and give us the opportunity of being future inseparable.
I, on behalf of my other colleague in the office (NNPC) have decided to solicit your assistance as regards to the transfer of the above stated amount into your bank account. This fund arose from the over-invoicing of various contracts awarded in my parastatal to certain foreign contractors sometime ago.We as holders of official position in our various parastatals, were mandated by this new civilian government to scrutinize all payments made to certain foreign contractors, and we discovered that some of these contracts executed were grossly over-invoiced, either by omission or commission.
Also, we discovered that the sum of $40.000.000,00.(Forty million US Dollars) was lying in a suspense account, although the foreign contractors were fully paid their contract entitlements after executing the said contracts.
We all agreed that the over-invoiced amount will be transferred (for our own use) into a bank account provided by a foreign partner, as the code of conduct of the Federal civil service does not allow us to operate with foreign accounts. We are therefore seeking for your assistance based on the agreement been made within our selves the documents of this fund will be speedily processed for immediate remittance of the fund into your bank account.On successful remittance of the fund into your account, you will be compensated with 30% of the total amount for assistance while 70% is for me and my colleague.
We will avail you with our identities as regards our respective offices when relationship is fully established and smooth operation commences. we are at your disposition to entertain any question from you in respect of this transaction, so, contact me immediately through my e-mail or the above telephone numbers for further information on the requirements and procedure.
Please, note that this DealL needs utmost confidentiality.
Yours faithfully,
DR.BRIAN WILLIAMS
VERY URGENT (DEAR FRIEND)

This is the 2nd time this scam email has arrived in my inbox, in the last week. The only variation being that it is signed by a different name (the previous one being Martin Mase).
