Good Day.
For Security Reasons contact me through this Email, johnsoniweka1@yahoo.co.jp
My name is Mr. Johnson Iweka, a banker here in Abidjan, Cote D 'Ivoire.
I would like to transfer 15000000 pounds sterling belonging to one Mr. John Hughes who was among the victims here during the political crisis here in the year 2003. You can provide a bank account of your choice for this amount and
the percentage that you want to take for nominating an account for this purpose.
If we agree on the terms, you will keep the balance of the said fund with you in
confidence, after deducting your percentage, until I am
able to join you with all my family for investment.

Mr. Johnson Iweka
