Dear Friend,
My name is ANTHONY ELUMELU, the Managing Director of STANDARD TRUST BANK PLC. I am using this medium to solicite for your assistant regarding FUND TRANSFER ABROAD. At my disposal, I have an over-invoiced sum of $25m USD (Twenty Five Million United State Dollars) which can only be claim by a foreigner. This fund came as a result of over-invoiced cost of the Rehabilitation and Renovation of Passport Immigration Offices in Lagos, handled by a German Contractor WOLFGANG POHL ENGINEERING GMBH, GERMANY; and after receiving payment, the left over could only be claim by an alien citizen. Hence, I want you to make this claim so that the fund could be release to your chosen account abroad where I will join you for onward disbursement. I have all the necessary certified back-up documentations that will prove you as the ownership of the fund. You will be receiving 35% of the said fund for your assistance, 60% will be mine as the initiator of this business while 5% will be use for any ex!
penses that may be incur as this transaction progresses either from telephone bills or fax messages.
As soon as you receive this message, indicated your interest by sending me your telephone and fax number through my direct email anthony_stbank@yahoo.com for effective communication.
I look forward working with you.
Best regards,
MR. ANTHONY ELUMELU
MD (STB)
