This guy is sending via sgi email list, a common fraud crime that is so
numerous that he is as bad at spamming as a company dedicated to spam.
He is hiding the oss.sgi.com address via CC or BCC, making it look like
the email goes to someone else. I turn over one or two of these guys to
get email accounts removed every day, the Nigerian scam guys just don't
know when to quit.

Mr. Ben Okon,
Zennith Bank Ltd,
Lagos-Nigeria,
Email: benokon@xxxxxxxx
ATTN ,
I am Mr Ben Okon, Bank Manager of Zennith Bank, Lagos,
Nigeria. I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.
On June 6, 1997, a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with
the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr.Barry Kelly
made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar
months, valued at US$29,500,000.00 (Twenty Nine Million
Five hundred Thousand Dollars only) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employers, the Nigerian NationalPetroleum
Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile
accident. On further investigation, I found out
that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to
trace his next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry
Kelly did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in
my Bank.
This sum of US$29,500,000.00 has carefully been moved out
of my bank to a security company for safe-keeping. No one
will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five)
years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as an
Foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money I deposited
it in a security company in two trunk boxes though the
security company does not know the contents of the boxes as
I tagged them to be photographic materials for export.
I am writing you because I as a public servant i can not
operate a foreign account or have an account that is more
than $1m.I want to present you as the owner of the boxes in
the security company so you can be able to claim them
with the help of my attorney.All these are to make sure
that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into
the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple. I will like you to provide immediately your
full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary
documents which will put you in place as the as the owner of the boxes.
The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of
70% for me and 25% for you and 5% will take care of all expenses.There is no
risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the
Attorney and this will guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address. upon your
response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents
that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe with utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because
I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country,i will like
to forward to me your personal data on your reply for to make change of the
documents on your name.
Thanks and regards.
Mr.Ben Okon
