Office of the Permanent Secretary,
Federal Ministry of Finance
Abuja, Nigeria
Hello Dear,
First and foremost I apologized using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business
of this magnitude, but this is due to confidentiality and prompt access
reposed on this medium.
I am the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Finance and also a Board
member of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
I am contacting for the consummation of a lingering transaction for me to
be able to be part of the Relief Effort to the Tsunami wave victims that
affected 2 continents and over 12 countries.

The current trend in the country to fight official corruptions in high and
low places left so many funds abandoned with my Ministry. Particularly,
Some over invoiced contract payments and payment belonging to foreigners
who died intestate.Right from the implementations of the ICPC -Independent
Corrupt Practices Commission Act and the EFCC-Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission Act 2004 so many countless payment of this manipulations have
been forwarded to my office for data updates and review. Some are verified
and paid out while orthe illegitimate claimants arte outrightly abandoned
for lack of proper documentation.Allthese funds goes into the Federal Reserve
account as unclaimed.
Over 150 Million United States Dollars have been realized and signed out
by my office to the Central Bank account as unclaimed following this trend.
I am contacting you in a similar payment review of a lingering transaction
of a foreign business mogul who died inte state amidst an uncredited approved
payment of USD16.3Million United states Dollars. This payment is certified
legal and updated in backing papers.This money have been abandoned long
ago owing to the sudden demise of the actual beneficiary.I want you to lay
claim to it. I cannot write off this payment into the Federal reserve/treasury
account but in dictate of my conscience I decided to be part of the Tsunami
relief project going on hence mapped out 15% of the funds to help Tsunami
victims, which is my divine priority. We will share equally the remaining
85%.I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint
me.
Presently, you can reach me by return mail,dr_harunausman2000@yahoo.co.uk
NB: This payment have already been approved before the death of the beneficiary,
all you need do is to fill an Indemnity application Form for transfer of
rights and privileges for the legalization of the transaction at the Federal
High Court. The above document with a certificate of ownership issued by
the court will be authorized by my office and forwarded for immediate payment.
All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for a smooth actualization
of the transaction within the next few working days of commencement.
You should also include your telephone, fax and or cell phone numbers if
any, for secured and effective communication between us.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
I await your response.
