CAN I TRUST YOU IN KEEPING Us$19.9million
I am a canadian based in nigeria , i work under the federal government of
Nigeria, I am an accountant under the ministry of works and housing and
i help in tranferring funds for payments for the nigerian government .
I Have been in nigeria working for the government since febraury 2003 and
i am likely to be tranferred by febraury next year and i don't know where
to , but i plan to return to canada .
I only need your full assistance in tranfering this overpaid funds of Us$19 9million.
In febraury 2004 , the government had an estimated budget to be allocated
to the ministry of works and housing, but the funds allocated was a surplus
budget and after all neccesary expense had been made , there was still Us$19.9m
remaining .
i was ordered to pay in this money into Guarantee trust bank on 22nd febraury
2004 as overpaid funds and since then i have not updated the balance sheet
for each following year with the information of the overpaid funds in that
account as i know that the government have forgotten the overpaid funds
in that account .
I know that i might be tranferred to another location by next year febraury
and right now as the accountant under the ministry of works and housing
, i am in position to tranfer this overpaid funds into a foreign account
, i already have a lawyer who is willing to help in the processing of other
legal document neccesary in the tranfer of the money into your account .
After the money is tranferred into your account , your commision is only
30% of the Us$19.9m , when the money is tranferred to you , i would give you
my account information in canada where you can tranfer the remaining 70%
my share .
We don't have much time left , i need to tranfer the money before this year
runs out , the money can be tranferred to you in 3 weeks upon reply from
you .
Note that this deal is confidential , I need a trustworthy person who is
willing to help out should reply ASAP .
