Subject: Urgent and Confidential.
My name is Barr George Phlips the present Deputy Governor of Gombe State, one of a renounce State in the South-Northeren Nigeria. I have been in active politics for three decade as a successful political in Nigeria. I am blessed with two kids, a boy and a girl with my lovely wife beside me as my strength. I contacted you based on an emergency situation around me, hence went through information systems via INTERNET where I got your information as a result of my careful search. Based on the ultimatum by our newly elected President, Alhaji Musa Ya'radua who has constituted a formidable committee to tackle Corruption and Anti-graft problems followed by asset declaration, and account auditing of all the Ministers, Governors, and deputy Governors in all the ties of Government. Sequel to all this, as the deputy governor, I have done my asset declarations accordingly but there is a particular domiciliary account which is only known by me and the amount there is $8,200,000.00.I was able to withdraw the fund from the bank and have deposited it With a private depository company. Sincerely speaking am not an Angel and I cant allow my family to suffer for sake of old age or when retired from office. Hence, I decided to make this smart withdrawal from one of my domiciliary account using my office and position as the deputy Governor, before the account auditing and asset declaration. If things goes well between you an I as partners, by the grace of Almighty God I pray we will do more of the investment processes together in your country as long as am still in the office as Deputy Governor. I have 4 years to spend in office and have just spent six months in office. Also note that, as public servant the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria does not allowed us to own a foreign account out side our country that is why I Want to use you as my foreign partner/business associates in this transaction. I want to let you know that I have made all the necessary arrangements with the diplomatic department of the private depository Company where this fund is been deposited for now, and I have finally come into a confidential agreement with them and they have Assured me that the funds can be move out of my country, Nigeria and delivered it to any part of the world as a personal effect To whom so ever I have instructed them to deliver it to. They have also guaranteed me of the risk free delivery to any part of the world concerning the consignment, as this is what they have been doing for the past years for top government officials in my country under confidential arrangement. It would have been better through Bank to Bank transfer, but because of the prevailing anti graft Law, asset declaration and Auditing processes that are currently going on, all international transfer have been suspended by the President of our country for the Time being. If you are willing to assist and want to be my partner in this transaction, please kindly furnish me with your information's like Telephone number, fax, and mobile line, for further discussions. You're faithfully Best Regards, BARR.GEORGE PHILIPS Deputy Governor- Gombe State Nigeria NOTE: IN ACCEPTANCE TO ASSIST ME IN THIS TRANSACTION, WE WILL CERTAINLY REACH AN AGREEMENT ON SHARING RATIO 15% OF THE TOTAL FUND
