DEAR SIR,MADAM
I KNOW YOU MUST BE SURPRISED AT THIS DEVELOPMENT BUT I CHOSE TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH BECAUSE OF MY SINCERE WISH TO TREAT EVERY MAN OR MADAM AS I WOULD EXPECT TO BE TREATED. AFTER THOROUGH INVESTIGATION ON CONTRACT PAYMENT FILE AS DIRECTED BY THE PRESIDENCY, I DISCOVERED THAT IT WOULD TAKE A LONG PROCESS FOR YOUR MONEY TO BE RELEASED DUE TO SOME IRREGULARITIES DETECTED IN YOUR FILE. DURING OUR INVESTIGATION, WE FOUND OUT THAT YOU HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY IN TRYING TO REALIZE YOUR CONTRACT PAYMENT, WHICH DID NOT EVEN REFLECT IN YOUR FILE, BUT I HAVE AN OFFER, WHICH WILL AT LEAST HELP YOUR FINANCIAL STAND UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR CONTRACT PAYMENT. THIS OFFER IS AN AMOUNT FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LEFTOVER. IT IS A TOTAL SUM OF US$15,000.000 (FIFTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY), WHICH WILL BE SHARED BETWEEN YOU AND I IN THE RATIO OF 50%-50%.
THIS AMOUNT IS NOT FROM YOUR CONTRACT SUM OR HAVE ANY THING RELATED TO YOUR CONTRACT SUM, RATHER IT IS A LEFT OVER FROM THE AMOUNT USED IN PAYING LOCAL
CONTRACTORS AND IT IS DIRECTLY UNDER MY CUSTODY. I AM OFFERING YOU THIS BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THAT YOUR CONTRACT FUND WILL NOT BE RELEASED ON TIME UNTIL ALL THE ANOMALIES ARE RECTIFIED AND ALSO BECAUSE YOU ARE A GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR.
THE ONLY THINGS NEEDED FOR THIS US$15.MILLION TO BE TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT UNDER 48 HOURS ARE AS FOLLOWS;
FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THIS IS NOT A CONTRACT PAYMENT. THEREFORE THERE WILL BE NO BUREAUCRACY OR MISFORTUNE.PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU ARE WILLING TO MAKE THIS DEAL WITH ME, YOU SHOULD CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY ON THE ABOVE TELEPHONE AND E-MAIL.FURNISHING ME WITH YOUR NEW ACCOUNT. ALSO BE INFORMED THAT THIS TRANSACTION WILL TAKE US JUST 48 HOURS TO ACCOMPLISH.
NOTE: All communication with this office must be authenticated, This business must be kept secret NOTE
THAT I AM NOT A NIGERIAN THAT SCAMS PEOPLE OF THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY BUT ALSO CAME FOR MY CONTRACT SUM BEFORE I STARTED WORKING WITH NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT. I AM FROM AUSTRALIA AND WILL SEND YOU MY INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT AS SOON AS YOU GET BACK TO ME AND YOU CONFIRM YOUR INTEREST. My direct mail: bruce_smith566@indiatimes.com
YOURS TRULY,
DR BRUCE A SMITH
