I hope this is for real, cos if it is, you've just posted it to a
public mailing list that's archived on several websites :-)

If it's fake, and you're a spammer, then I hope other spammers grab
your email address and send you adverts for viagra.

And I'm not apprehensive or worried, since I'm not the one that's
possibly made a big mistake...

I AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE

[igho john]

Dear Sir,

Firstly, I must solicit your strictest confidentiality
in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature
as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL. 

Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude
will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am
assuring you that all will be well at the end of the
day. We have decided to contact you first by your
email due to the urgency of this transaction, as we
have been reliably informed that it will take at least
two to three weeks for a normal post to reach you. So
we decided it is best using the email. 

Let me start by first introducing myself properly to
you. I am Dr. igho john, a director general in the
Federal Mininstry Of Works and Housing (FMWH) and I
head a Six-man tender board in charge of Contracts
Awards and payment Approvals. I came to know of you in
my search for a reliable and reputable person to
handle a very Confidential Business Transaction which
involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a
foreign account requiring maximum confidence. 

However, i and my colleagues are top officials of the
Federal Government Contract Review Panel; our duties
include evaluation,vetting, approval for payment of
contract jobs done for the Housing Ministry, etc. In
order to commence this business, we solicit for your
assistance to enable us transfer into your account the
said funds.

The source of this funds were gotten from an
Over-Invoiced Government Contract during the last
military regime here in Nigeria. The excess of the
funds, Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars (US$12.5Million) is what my colleagues
and i have decided to transfer into a safe and
reliable account for disbursement amongst all. 

Reasons, being due to the fact that as Civil Servants,
the laws of my country, prohibits us "Civil Servants"
from owning foreign accounts and moreso, as members of
this panel, we cannot do this by ourselves.

In the light of this, my colleagues and i have agreed
that if you/your company can act as the beneficiary of
this funds on our behalf, you or your company will
retain 20% of the total amount of US$12,500,000 00).


Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free,
as all documentation for success will be duly
procured, and we hope to conclude the business in
Seven (7) Bank working days from the date of receipt
of the necessary information and requirement from you
which will enable us commence this transaction fully. 

Kindly do make all correspondence through  my "PRIVATE
CONFIDENTIAL EMAIL ADDRESS":ighojohn@engineer.com

I will bring you into the complete picture of the
transaction when I have heard from you. 

Thank you and God bless.

Yours faithfully,
Dr. 	Igho John.

This is the old Nigerian Bank scam.
Forward this to the FTC, and whatever spam-cop type places are appropriate.
