I know this will come to you as a surprise because you do not know me. I am
Mr. David Williams, I work in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), packaging

and some one I could trust. Can I trust
you?
I want you to help me clear this package that is already in Europe which I
shipped through our Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) accredited courier agent
but the contents of the package is $26,000,000.00 all in $100.00 bills, but
the courier company does not know that it is money
that I have in the package.
All I want you to do for me now is to give me your mailing address, your
private phone, and I
propose that you will have 30% and 70% will be for me . My identity must not
be
revealed to anybody.
If this arrangement is ok by you,e-mail me.
For security reasons other modalities will be discussed.
Warm regards to your family,
