The scam here relies on the victim being so awed and intimidated by the prospect of receiving $20.5M that they simply obey all directions and not question the authority of the person calling themselves "Eric Philips".

In the extremely improbable situation where a member of the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Finance does contact you out of the blue, they will not be using a free email service such as sify or gmail.

TRANSFER OF YOUR $20.5M APPROVED PAYMENT
FROM: MR ERIC PHILIPS
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE
FOREIGN EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT
EXCHANGE CONTROL DIVISION
FEDERAL SECRETARIAT, LAGOS , NIGERIA .

DEAR SIR/MADAM

RE: APPROVAL OF $20.5 MILLION PAYMENT

I am a director with the Federal Ministry of Finance and was
instructed by the Hon Minister of Finance of Nigeria to find
out before the end of this month, WHY your contract payment/
claim of your fund have not been credited to your account,
after instructions has been passed to all various Government
quarters that all over due contract/claim payments should
be released as a lot of petitions by beneficiary's has been
received by the Minister.
Your bank details are what this office want you to
reconfirm, with your telephone and fax numbers, and any
other information on WHY you have not received your payment
up-till date?. However I will give my assistance to make
sure your file is in order for payment as two people came
for the claim of the fund and submitted account saying that
you are not well and no longer interested in the fund.

Do get back to me as soon as you get this mail.

Yours faithfully

MR ERIC PHILIPS
