Dear Friend,

I got your contact details from my search having in mind that friendship starts from a point in time. Friends today were once strangers.I am Engr.Omas Adun, a senior manager, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources (MPNR) Lagos, who has been delegated by my colleagues to seek the assistance of a reliable foreign company or individual into whose bank account we can discreetly transfer the sum of $16m USD (Sixteen Million U.S. Dollars Only) under our perfected modalities.
These funds arose from a deliberate over-invoicing of contract bills of contracts, awarded by the ministry of petroleum and natural resources (MP&NR) during the administration of the former military dictator late, General who died on 7th June 1998. Since then the money has been lying in the suspense account of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Resources with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)(Government bankers). However, the current favorable political/Economical climate in the country now presents an opportunity for this money to be transferred out of our country without any hitches - as we hope and believe it would be of mutual benefit to us all.
Already, we have put in motion the complete machinery and modalities to enhance successful commencement and completion of this transaction and further actions will commence the moment we hear from you. We have agreed that after the transfer of the money into your account, you shall be entitled to a cut of the total sum, which will be arrived at subject to negotiati! on.5% is earmarked for reimbursement on minor incidental expenses that may be incurred during the course of this transaction. Conclusively, the nature of your business is not particularly relevant for the success of this transaction.
All we require is your willingness to co-operate with us, and also an assurance that our Share of the funds will be given to us when the money arrives your account. Most importantly, we have taken all necessary precautions to ensure a no risk situation on the side of both parties as this transaction is expected to be through within 7 to 10 working days. Please if the proposal is acceptable to you, contact me immediately through this email address or my confidential email address(engromasadun@gmail.com)
