This email is personal please and from Alhaji Mantu

Dear Sir/Madam

I got your contact after a careful study of your
country’s business/trade directory.

I am one of the Senior External
Auditors in the office of the Auditor General of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria. Four (4) months ago, I
led a three man audit panel to balance the books of
the Apex Bank (Central Bank of Nigeria). In the course
of our duties, we discovered that the sum of
(US$25,500,000.00) million (Twenty - Five million,
Five hundred thousand US dollars) has been lying in a
suspense account with the Apex Bank since 1998 without
beneficiary(ies).Further investigation revealed that
this sum accumulated as a result of over-invoiced
executed contracts influenced by past retired Military
Government personnel and was unclaimed due to
transformation of the new democratic government.

After careful deliberations, we (my colleagues and I)
unanimously agreed to transfer this sum of (US
$25,500,000.00) million into a foreign account for
investment purposes hence we are seeking your
assistance and co-operation to achieve this objective.
We have put all modalities in place to apply for the
transfer of this fund to you or your company as
contract payment having completed a contract we
purportedly awarded to you.

However, we have successfully transferred this fund
through diplomatic seal to our offshore payment bureau
in overseas on the grounds that it was meant for the
payment of a foreign contractor. We therefore,
solicit that you receive this sum into your account on
our behalf from the offshore payment office.

Note that we will arrange all the papers needed and
the approval for the release of this fund with a
documented evidence of the contract executed to enable
swift remittance into your account without any hitch.
Therefore, there is no risk whatsoever either now or
in future.

If need be for you to visit the offshore office, you
would be assisted by a protocol officer to open an
account were the money would be lodged after payment
then transfer to any account you wish thereafter. You
will get 20% of the entire sum, 70% for us, while 10%
has been earmarked to cover all expenses such as Tax,
Transportation, Telecommunication bills. etc incurred
by you in actualising this transaction. It is
important to state that all parties would be protected
by a silent but strong agreement which greatest tenet
would be strictly confidential, as we are civil
servants still in active service.
If you are interested, contact me through my e-mail
address or phone (234-8033117530). Please include your private phone,
fax and
mobile numbers to enable me call you for verbal
discussion.

I look forward to your prompt reply.

Best regards,

ALHAJI IBRAHIM MANTU.
