Subject: ARE YOU READY?
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIAFederal Ministry of AgricultureDirector General OfficeAbujaDear Sir,
I am the Director General of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and I reliably got your contact from the Nigeria Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
I want to put a business proposal that you have to gain as much as $3,000,000.00 if you corporate.
The business is that I am looking for one who has a large heart that will help me to divert the sum of $10M into his account.
This money was an excess of over inflation of contract we had last year which the full payment has been made to the Austrian Agro Firm and now the excess is what I want to send across so that no person will know about it while I invest part in your country and the rest I use it to fund my political race that will be coming up next year.
I would love to here from you either in support or against please just get me posted on this my private email:
st_morritz3@yahoo.co.ukSincerely,
Captain Nitatiko
