#1 (URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL)

Good Day!

The Nigerian Navy is adding to its inventory about 49 different types of warships and 42 combat helicopters. I am writting you this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to carry out this transaction. We discovered some abandoned warships and helicopters lying about. Since this development,we have advertised for any close relation to these ships to come forward to claim them,but nobody came yet to apply for the claim.

To this effect,i and other official in my department have decided to look for a trusted foriegn partner who can stand in as the next of kin of the ships as we cannot do it only ourselves and claim them. We need a foreign partner to apply for the claim on our behalf because of the fact that the ships was a foreign and we don't want this ships to go into the treasury as unclaimed.

You have nothing to worry about and we have agreed that 30% of this ships will be for you,while 10%will be for any expenses incured on both sides wihile 60% will be for my colleagues and me. If you are willing to help us,please indicate by replying this letter....

#3 I was going to say that it looks like all those Nigerian scams finally paid off, but Bunyip's comment is much better.
