RIVERS STATE,NIGERIA
Dear Friend
My name is Mr. Timi Alaibe, the Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). 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 some roads and our Offices in the Niger Delta Region and is being handled by a foreign 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 expenses that may be incur as this transaction progresses either from telephone bills or fax messages
As soon as you receive this message, indicate your interest by sending
me your telephone and fax number for effective communication.
I look forward working with you.
Best regards,
MR.TIMI ALAIBE
