DEAR GOOD FRIEND
DO NOT BE SURPRISED AT RECEIVING THIS MAIL. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO HARM
IN TRYING SOMEONE TRUSTWORTHY AT HEART. A NEW RELATIONSHIP WILL GO A LONG
WAY TO HELP ME. I NEED YOU TO COME AND STAND AS NEXT OF KIN WITH THIS PERSON
MR.MANSOUR WHO DIED IN 2001 OF A HEART CONDITION HERE IN AGOS.SOME YEARS
AGO, MR. ROBBERT MADE A NUMBERED (OR FIXED) DEPOSIT OF US $18,000,000.00
MILLION IN MY BANK.
UNFORTUNATELY, HE DID NOT MENTION A NEXT OF KIN IN ANY OF HIS PAPERS WITH US
OR HIS CONTRACTORS - TEXACO OIL.SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN NO RESPONCE TO
OUR INTERNATIONAL ADVERTORIALS CALLING FOR ANY RELATIVE TO CONTACT US. IT IS
FIVR YEARS NOW AND STILL NO RESPONCE. BY DECEMBER ENDING, THE INTEREST WILL
BE ROLLED OVER, BRINGING THE TOTAL CLAIMS TO 20,000,000.00MILLION.
MY DEPARTMENT HAS THE MANDATE TO OVERSEE THE INTERNAL CLEARANCE FOR CLAIMS
SUCH AS THIS AND THE FINAL APPROVAL SIGNATURE FOR PAYMENT IS MINE. YOU HAVE
NO RISK. BY LAW, YOU ONLY NEED TO SHOW-UP ONCE BEFORE THE MONEY WILL BE PAID
INTO YOUR ACCOUNT ABROAD.
HOWEVER, PLEASE KNOW THAT THE MONEY WILL BE SHARED BETWEEN US; I WILL TAKE
60% AND YOU: 40% (OR US$8,000,000.00 MILLION). THERE ARE REASONS WHY WE NEED
TO CLAIM THIS MONEY FAST. I WILL GIVE YOU MORE COMPREHENSIVE DETAIL WHEN YOU
