Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Ouhoumoudou Mouhamadou, the regional director of
WAEMU. I have an urgent and important outstanding transfer
of USD120,000.000.00 which i want to effect into a safe
foreigner's account abroad but I don't know any foreigner, I
am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can
only be approved to a foreigner with a foreign account since
the money is in US dollars and the former owner of the
account is a foreigner too.
If you are interested in this life time opportunity, kindly
send your phone/Fax numbers for immediate proceed.Please
reply back to my private email
address(mouhamadou65@yahoo.fr).
Your's faithfully
Mr. Ouhoumoudou Mouhamadou.
