I'm sure you've received numerous bogus offers from someone in a 
foreign country who has been trying to contact you to give you a 
fortune if only you would give them an administration fee or your 
information. Some of it even looks legit. Most is in broken English 
which I guess is supposed to lend authenticity. However, I think I've 
finally found one that really is! Check it out and let me know what you 
think!

Dear Friends,

My name is Ndugood. I am a wealthy Nigerian prince who loves the jazz 
of music. I am seeking your help to move $200,000,000 from my checking 
account here in Nigeria to the United States.

I too love the jazz of music and am planning to flee to America to open 
many jazz clubs at which I would like you to perform. You will receive 
$42,000 a night, plus a meal. My new "Tribal Village Vanguard" clubs 
will be of great success and you will become rich like the rest of  
American jazz musicians. I have already applied for building code 
exemptions to allow thatched stages and the spearing of live animals.

But I desperately need your help. My tribe, the Swindlisi, a peaceful 
jazz-loving people, has been horribly oppressed by the ruling military 
junta, which despises the jazz of music. My father, an exiled king and 
booking agent, was recently imprisoned under the Draconia n "three gigs 
you're out" law. And now I must flee my beloved country with all of my  
improbable wealth. But I need help in moving it. I have so much money 
that it will not fit in the allotted two checked bags and one carry-on. 
I am therefor want to transer the money through your ATM system. (The 
Nigerian ATM system cannot exchange international currencies; it only 
converts "antelope to money").

So please to just provide me with your full name and address, social 
security number, bank account and PIN numbers. And you will become 
incredibly (literally) rich from playing many jazz gigs. (Note: normal 
Nigerian Musician's Union rules apply: three hour performances, two 15 
minute breaks allowed, musicians to provide their own mosquito nets, 
one open fire per bandstand, one free meal plus anything you kill).

Act now. The first ten musicians to respond will receive a free copy of 
the Nigeria's Greatest Jazz Hits CD, by our beloved 'Disoriented' 
Gillespie Band, which contains the hits:
              The Night Has A Thousand Flies
              Goodbye Shrunken Head
              Here's That Rainy Season
              Just Tribesmen (Lovers No More)
              Take the 'A' Trail
              When I Fall In Quicksand
              Half-Nelson Mandella
              Blue Monkey
              Leopard Skins and Moonbeams
              Blue Mombossa
              Almost Like Being In Lagos
              Sunny Side of the Goatpath
              I Didn't Know What Century It Was

  Thank you for your many help.

Your inordinately wealthy Nigerian brother,

Prince Ndugood
