Subject: Hello

Dear Sir,
I have been directed to contact you after due consideration and consultation to assist us in a proposition for the benefit of both parties involved (Your side and mine). We have an enormous amount of funds that we are hoping to put into a very viable venture in your country with your assistance. As soon as I receive a response from you regarding your willingness to assist us with this proposition, I will proceed immediately to provide you with further details about how we intend to make you our overseas partner. Bear in mind, this does not have anything to do with Terrorism or Money Laundering. This is completly [sic] LEGAL. I will await your urgent response. Regards,

=====

BTW, the above actually traces to ripe.net, which is based in the Netherlands... so I'm not "completly" sure if it has Nigerian origins.

- Jeff
