Mr. Parkins Salim an American national and a
contractor with the FEDERAL MINISTRY OF MINES who
unforuntately lost his life and family in the lndian
Earthquake. Have executed contract with our ministry
whose contract sum have been approved and the forex
allocation for the fund have also been issued ,but
unfortunately for him his death has have caused him
not to receive the fund and if the fund still remain
unclaimed the fund will be returned to the federal
government as unclaimed contract sum which I will
not prefer
My reason of seeking for your assistance is as
follows

person whom Mr Salim have transferred the ownership
of the contract to[I will provide all necessary
document to back it up]
Meanwhile the fund is presently in the Standard
Trust Bank Plc,
All relevant document relating to the contract that
will enable the remittance of the fund into your
nominated account will be provided on demand ..
The deal therefore must be confidential,and i assure
you of it's 100% risk free, but requires only your
co-operation. You will receive 30% of the total sum,
10% will be for expenses incidental to the
remittance, while the balance of 60% will be for me.
The Standard Trust Bank Plc in compliance with
Parliamentary directive has expressed readiness to
release the fund via payment advice. All modalities
for the transfer have been worked out and once
started, it will not take time with absolute
support of all concerned.
I shall need your full name as the director of the
company, telephone/Fax number for easier
communication. Finally i wish to inform you that i
will be going for my retirement very soon, so l need
this money to invest in viable project in your
country or it environ. You shall arrange for us to
