Dear Brandi
I am Peter Eze,working in the Audit Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria.while auditing the account of the Federal Government, I discovered that there was a contract awarded to one oil firm which the Government is yet to foot the bill.
The problem is that the Government could not pay the firm after the firm completed the contract because of lack of fund. Now the Government is ready to settle the debt, but the problem is that the contractor is dead. So I need someone who can help me to pose himself as the contractor so that we can claim the money.
The Amount of money in question is about US$88.2880M. I am ready to provide all the Documents necessary for the deal if only you can help me claim the money for 30% will be for you, 65% for me while 5% will be for miscellaneous expenses incurred during the transaction.
I look forward to hearing from you immediately you receive this email,(dr_p_e1@o2.pl)Best Regard.Dr Peter Eze
