Subject: Meaningful Relationship.

Dear Beloveth,

Compliments of the day.  Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have not met, permit me for this meaningful relationship. I seek your assistance for investment in your country .

 

I am Mr Dikko Maman,the Director of accounts and finance  with the  Delta development commission. My  commission is established under cap 10,act 21 of the 2000 constitution,of the federal government.
 
This commission was empowered and charged with the developmental, contractual and medical awards and payments in  the niger delta  oil region. You may be aware of this commission.

I am contacting you for a financial  business opportunity in my commission (NDDC) READY now.  It is strictly confidential and stress free.(IT DOES NOT POSE ANY RISK) Bearing in mind.

 

I appreciate your attention as a foreigner to use your personal or company account to wire out a sum of $15.5 million USD for our benefits and investment in your country, since as civil servants here we are not allowed by law to open foreign accounts.
 
This is a deliberate over-invoiced settlement fund with dully appropriated and constitutional approvals. This means you have no fear about this transaction as it is constitutional based and every thing  legally is put in place to ensure success.

 

I am looking forward to be investing in your country as i retire early next year.

Considering our meaningful positions and relationship in this concern, let us keep this fund confidential.

Thank for your understanding and help.

 

MORE IMPORTANTLY:

Please respond quickly via: dikkomaman_private@myway.com

for full details and wishing you a wounderful day.

 

I  can assure you we can effect this fund in the next 7 banking days , for seeing is believing.

 

Very Regards
 
Mr,Dikko Maman,
Director of  Accountant/ Finance.
