Here's to the happy couple!

Seriously though, spammers and fraud artists don't care if what they send out makes any sense, as long as you do whatever it is they are trying to get you to do, usually send them your money.

And that just means that there are people actually stupid enough to respond to such things. Go humanity!

Attention Sir,

Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is
not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it as urgent as with
seriousness. I am a Director in Procurement Department with Ministry
of Works and Housing here in Ghana . I obtained your email while
searching for a reliable person, who could assist me in receiving
transfer of a supposed contract awarded funds.

This fund came as a result of over estimated contract awarded sums
executed by foreign contractors in the Ministry. The concerned
Ministry has approved these over invoiced funds for payment. The
contracts which the over invoiced sums was created from has been
executed and commissioned. What I am about to receive now, is the
over estimated funds which was added during the process of obtaining
the contracts for my own interest. This is a normal deal that goes in
my Ministry by top officials.

On my part, all modalities have been worked out in ensuring a smooth
conclusion of the contract payment to your bank account within the
next few days. My department approves payments to contractors, and I
happen to head the department. All I want from you is to receive
these funds on my behalf as a Sub-Let Company, because as Government
Official I cannot collect the funds directly from my Ministry,
neither I am allowed by Law to operate/ run foreign bank accounts. If
you are trustworthy and can assist me in receiving the fund, do not
hesitate to respond back to me immediately.

Please note that there is no risk involved in receiving the over
estimated contract funds in your account. I want you to state in
percentage what you shall have for participating in assisting me got
this transaction done. As soon as you indicate your interest, further
details and the amount involved shall be given to you once I receive
response from you. I hope I can trust you to treat this proposal with
utmost confidentiality.
Looking forward to hearing from you soonest.

Best regards,
Mr.John Makati
