Hello Dear,
It is with trust and confidence that l make this urgent business proposal to you.I got your contact through my former secretary
that operates computer. I am Mr .George Carbe,former Director of special Task Force in charge of sales of Petroleum product in the Federal republic of Nigeria in West Africa.

hundred thousand dollars).This money was diverted from the excess allocation of crude oil to the foreign dealers.
The present regime of President Obasanjo last year arrested and probe all former government parastatals of the National Petroluem Cooperation,due to loot and mis-management of Government fund by some
group of former workers.This action by Government is wildly interpreted to be selfish and act of envy because it affected both the innocent.Regardless of my enormous contribution for the sustenance of peace among the oil producing states that has been on war for 15years now.What l recieved as a reward was only to confistcate all my properties and all my account frozen.

appreciated if this fund can be well utilized and invested.

operate foreign account and cannot travel out of the country for safe
keeping of the money. Based on this,l need you as a partner whom l can
entrust and channel this money to,for a proper investment and in a joint venture platform in your country.
As soon as you contact me and we fianalize,my wife or my son will be coming to your country to meet with you in order to have a meeting with you on the proper investment we can go into with you, once this is done and there is understanding,you will sign a TRUST BOND OR AGREEMENT with my family concerning the safety of the entire transaction. l would therefore want to have information on the areas of lucrative sector of
investments in your country you intend or you wish us to go into.I will be relaying on your advise as regards to investment on a lucrative sector of investment in your country for this is very important to me please.
For your assistance and advise in identifying a lucrative sector of
investment that will be of good benefit to my own family and your own family even from generation to generation.l will be willing to offer you 15% of the total fund,while 65% of the total fund will be used
for the joint venture investment and the remaining 20% will be kept in your account for my private use.
