by the present Democratic Government, I have been able to redeem the
image of this Nation by offsetting most overdue contract sums owed by the
Federal Government of Nigeria to foreign contractors in the past years.
On the process of these payments, I discovered through investigation
that my predecessor attempted to move out the above-mentioned sum outside
Nigeria but was unable as he was removed out of office unaware,Now, I
have concluded all necessary arrangements for the smooth transfer of the
money to your account on trust. Contacting you on this issue became
imperative owing to recommendations through an acceptance of your good
integrity and trustworthiness as I came across your particulars When I
went through the internet. The fund originated from the balance of an
over-invoiced sum of money which the principal sum had been paid to the
original company that executed the contract some years ago. This fund has
been floating in a suspense account with Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN)
for a long period of time and I as the Director of Telex/Money Transfer
Department of CBN in the course of my duty,I discovered this fund and
decided to transfer it outside Nigeria through a trust worthy p
artner who will share the fund with me on 30% to 70% basis.
Therefore, what is required from you is to forward to me your
confidential bank particulars where this fund will be transferred. As you
will
have 30% of the25million US dollars after a successful transfer of the
money into your account abroad,part of my 70% will be used for
investment in your country. Note: that this transaction is risk free and
will be
concluded within (5) working days and the money be remitted into your
account. Please contact me on my email as indicated above
