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(mouha_madou65@yahoo.fr).
Your's faithfully
Mr. Ouhoumoudou Mouhamadou.
