Nigerian Scams- Ever had one of these pop in your E'Mail?

Dear Friend,

Transfer involving US$ 7.5M.

Pardon me for not knowing your mind before making you this offer which is very confidential and genuine.

I write for your assistance in a funds transfer deal involving US$ 7.5M. (Seven Million Five Hundred United States Dollars Only). This fund has been stashed out of the excess Profit made the previous year by my branch of the (STB) STANDARD CHARTERED BANK which I am the manager. I have submitted an approved end of the year report for the year 2009 to my head office here in Accra-Ghana and they will never know of this excess.

I have since then, put this amount on a Non-Investment Account without a beneficiary. If I receive your positive reply. I will guide you on how to apply to my head office for the Account Closure/ bank-to-bank remittance of the funds to your designated bank account. If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain 35% of the funds while 60% shall be for me which i will use for investment in your country and 5% will be set aside for expenses both local and international.

I am waiting for your urgent reply so that we can commence.
Regards,
Patrick Ade.
