To: My Compliments. Please review this proposal with an unprejudiced mind-set. It is geared towards opening doors of financial opportunities to our mutual benefit. Itis also legitimate and will not require any financial commitment(s) fromyou. Your email contact was sourced via a casual inquiry of the internet wherein I sought for trustworthy business partners with whom I could builda relationship and thereafter go into business in the investment of some floating contract funds in the sum of 8.5 Million U.S Dollars currently trapped. It is my hope that you are trustworthy enough in helping me free the said trapped funds, transfer it, and put it to investment purpose. 10%of the funds will accrue to you for your assistance. To begin, permit me to explain the source of the funds: During the last dispensation in my country, government officials awarded contracts that were grossly over-invoiced to Foreign Contractors while other Contractors were not paid . The present Government set up the Contract Review Panel (which I am Secretary of ) and mandated it to use the instruments o fpayments made available to it by the decree setting up the panel, to review those contracts and if necessary pay those who are being owe doutstanding amounts.I have identified the above mentioned sum which have been lying unclaimed for several years and would like to transfer and invest it. However,my position as a serving Civil servant forbids me from operating foreign Bank accounts, this is why I need your assistance. Here is where you come in : I need you to respond and furnish me with the information hereunder which I need to get the project underway viz :
1.FULL NAMES
2.NAME OF BUSINESS / COMPANY
3.ADDRESS
4.TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS
With the above information, I will forward an application for payment inyour business favour and ensure that it is meets the approval of the Contracts Panel. Upon the transfer of the funds, I will meet with you in your country so that we can go into investment after sharing in the agreed percentages. FINALLY, PLEASE REST ASSURED THAT THIS IS VENTURE IS NOT FRAUDULENT OR ASCAM. AS STATED EARLIER, NO FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS WILL BE REQUIRED FROMYOU AT ANY POINT. I WILL UNDERTAKE TO PERSONALLY SETTLE ALL CHARGES BYHAVING FUNDS SENT TO YOU TO DO SO. Respectfully, Dr Phillips.

please email me with views,opinions.

Am new to this site but am going to say YES, that IS a scam - they might not be asking for financial help, but looks like they're after as much info. as they need for identity theft....
