Department of Sport and Recreation
Pretoria

ATTENTION: Sir/Madam

I write, asking for your indulgence in re-profiling funds to tune of Twelve Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$12.8m), which we want to keep safely overseas under your supervision.

In other words, we would like you to receive the said funds on our behalf. The Funds were derived over time from a project awarded to a foreign firm by my Department, and presently the actual contract cost have been paid to the original project executors, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we have in principle obtained approval to remit overseas.

Kindly pardon the use of a medium informal as this for reaching out to you to make a request of great importance to us.

Currently, I work as a Director of Projects at The Department of Sport and Recreation here in Pretoria.

I have the authority and approval of my partners involved in this transaction to negotiate a suitable compensation for your participation and I propose 22.2 percent, while we also propose that we receive 46.6 percent and 31.2 percent be earmarked for purposes of taxation.

This endeavour has a minimal risk factor on your part provided you treat it with the utmost discretion. You are advised to reach me through email for further clarifications.

I am available for further clarification via alternative email:
michaelsipo00@gmail.com

I kindly wait to hear from you.

Yours Sincerely,
Engr.Michael Sipo

A few days ago I got a Message from Sam Odogwu using the exact same message as this one which came today.

Seeing they both call themselves Sam, I think it’s pretty likely that they are one and the same person.

I imagine most Bible readers will know what is written in Malachi 3:10. But if you don’t, here’s a modern translation for you:

GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995)
“Bring one-tenth of your income into the storehouse so that there may be food in my house. Test me in this way,” says the LORD of Armies. “See if I won’t open the windows of heaven for you and flood you with blessings.

So basically, what Sam is saying is, he has a pile of cash and wants to invest (or should I say donate?) it in my ministry or church.

The Christian scam has been often the downfall of true Christians, who believed that they could use the promised money to do good for the community. All of them ended up with losing a lot of money, which was usually community or member’s money.

A couple of them ended up in jail for embezzlement as a result.
