Dear Peoples of China,
I am President Goodluck Jonathan. I am conversant with world news and have found your high repute, trustworthiness and contact details through personal research.
On the 21st of June 2012, a Mr. China, his wife and their extended relatives were involved in a fatal car accident along Lagos – Ibadan express road. I repose great confidence in you that you can help repatriating their 200,000 barrels of crude oil before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank. I have secretly deposited a key to the oil in a metal box consignment with Security Deposit Number 00SUCKER56. I have all necessary legal documents; all I require from you is your pin number, naked photos of your wife.

Big Hugs
The Xi Man!
