Urgent business proposal.
Personal and confidential.
Dear Sir/Madam,
This letter may be as a surprise since it is coming from someone you may not have met before. My name is Kenneth Lay. I and my close and trusted colleagues need your assistance in the transfer of funds for the purpose of purchase of stock in return for which you will be receiving incredible returns of hundreds of percent for your stock in this remarkable company which is the Energy National Resource Organisation of Nigeria, Enron. For full, honest disclosure purposes, we in the Enron have begun recently a remarkably successful business which is so amazing as to be hard to define, but that in a shell's nut, is in the trading of energies commodities contracts, and have been so much a success that we're having no reportable losses, and so are awash in too many profits. Unfortunately the present civilian government of Nigeria does not allow us as civil servants to be the only ones taking advantage of this business opportunity, and so has demanded that we are immediately sharing this great wealth in stock form with trusted individuals of discretion who are not ever wanting to talk with class action attorneys.
I was therefore delegated as a matter of urgency by my colleagues, to look for an overseas investor partner who could remit small sums of money into Enron stock and thereby become very wealthy. All that is needed is your bank account's number and exact name of signatory to account, and your deposit in small sums, to purchase of said stock before given return on investment as will seem too good. But this will not be noticed for longest time. For your proof and peace of mind that this is above board, our audit firm, the very famous respected Arthur Andersen, did not disapprove of this method of accounting at the time of its doing, and so this is proof. Thank you for your anticipated co-operation while we look forward to a mutually benefiting business relationship with you. Best regards,
Mr Chairman, Kenneth Lay,
Energy National Resources Organisation of Nigeria, Enron.
