Apparently, I have hit it big.
I'm glad Paul Jones of Nigeria - yes, the one in Africa - was able to track me down. All I have to do to collect on my big payday is to fork over a bunch of personal information and then click on some innocent looking link that will, no doubt, allow whomever to either hack into my computer or infect it with a virus so that it ends up relinquishing all the pertinent information that I was trying to keep close to my vest.
You gotta hand it to the Nigerians for being persistent. I'm sure they'd stop all this nonsense if there weren't enough gullible marks to make it worth their while.

I was instructed to initiate contact with you by my boss the executive governor of the central bank of Nigeria (C.B.N) on an urgent issue, kindly note that your funds were re-called and re-deposited into the "federal suspense account" of the cbn last week, because you did not forward your claim as the right beneficiary.
My boss the executive governor of the central bank of Nigeria (C.B.N), was visited in his office by three gentlemen today, really these men were unexpected by him because their visit was impromptu. He had to ask them why they came to see him in person and they said that they came to collect the inheritance/ contract funds bill sum of us$20 million which rightfully belongs to you as shown in your file with us, on your behalf and by your authorization. Note that they actually tendered some vital documents which proved that you actually sent them for the collection of these funds. Below is list of the documents which they tendered to this bank today:
1. Letter of administration.
2. High court injunction.
3. Order to release.
Due to the nature of his job, he cannot afford to make any mistake in releasing these funds to anyone except you who is the recognized true beneficiary to these funds. Note that my boss has asked these men to come back tomorrow so he can verify this fact from you first. Kindly clarify us on this issue before we make this payment to these foreigners whom came on your behalf.
