This over-invoiced perpetrated by the past top government functionaries in the last regime and such claims are normally recommend for forfeiture back to federal government treasury. I am contacting you based on the fact that you are aforeigner so that we can share this great benefit.
But I must confess to you that the antecedence of this claims are almost perfect, forthis I have develop a lot of interest to work with A foreigner who will act as one of the real contractor deserving payment and have part of the sum of money in question $32.500.000.00 USD released to you while the balance will be tendered to the Government as a result of our findings,if you are willing to work and share this amount with me 60-40%, 40% to you and 60% to me.I have political ambition in the nearest future and with this I am sure of building up a strong political empire .
