Three more today. I am approaching 200 million dollars. And, they don't
even know me.

"Dear Friend,

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I
believe everyone will die someday. My name is VICTORY ODEH, a merchant
in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer
which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in carrying for my
health. It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only
about a few months to live, according to medical experts.

I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was
the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that
there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in
the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this
world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.

Now that God! has called me, I have willed and given most of my
properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as
well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept
my soul and so, I have decided to give arms to charity organizations and
give succour and confort to the less priviledged in our societies, as I
want this to be one
of the last good deeds I do on earth.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
US$25.3 Million. Unfortunately that I have with a Security Company in
Europe for safe keeping. I will want you to help me collect this deposit
and disburse it to some charity organizations and to the less
priviledged.

I have set aside 10% for your time and patience.

LAGOS LIAISON OFFICE, P.M.B. 1279

Dear,

I am the Director of Telex International remittance department of the
Central Bank of Nigeria. Your e-mail address came to me as a matter of
urgency on the transfer of this money, that amounted to $25.5 Million
U.S. Dollars, at the course of my final verification and payment of this
said amount to the contractor that was presumed to have executed the
contract,during the past Military regime, with contract number
NNPC/PED/FGN/02/96 and file Number NNPC/122, I found out that the
contractor could not adequately defend the contract he executed in
Nigeria.

**Further to my investigations, I found out that one Captain Umaru
Usman of the Nigeria army, wanted to use his influence as a friend to
outsted Central Bank Governor (Paul Ugwuma) to move this money out of
this Country into this contractor's account overseas but the Captain was
sent on ECOMOG peace keeping where he was killed in Liberia by the rebel
group led by Charles Taylor. Since then, this money has been unclaimed.

As the Obasanjo democratic regime now in place wanted to pay up the
genuine contractors. A total sum of $285 Million U.S.Dollars has been
paid to contractors, mostly foreign contractors so that he can redeem
Nigerians image abroad. In this his kind gesture, somany contractors has
benefitted. Following the said $25.5million U.S. Dollars now in my
possession. I will like to remit it into your account as all modalities
has been put in place to trasfering this money into your account. I must
strongly remind you that you have nothing to fear, it is risk free.
etc. etc.

I am willing to share my good luck. Would any of you like me to forward
your address to these generous fellows?
