Sir,

A transfer deal of forty- five million five hundred thousand united
states dollars ($45.5m).

I got to know about you from your country trade center here in my country,
but i did not disclose this transaction to them due to the secrecy it
demands. I believe that you are the right person to do business with,
that's why I decided to introduce this deal to you. Would you help us
to secure this funds into your bank account and you will have 25% of
the total sum, we have mapped out 10% for any sort of expenses that
we might encounter in the course of transferring this funds into your
bank account, while the remaining will be for us over here.
This transaction is 100% risk free for we have taken care of it before
we decided to contact you on this life time opportunity. Note that we
are still civil servants and will not like any thing to jeopardize the
long time that we have put in active service. So please you have to keep
this transaction secret and strictly confidential for now till the funds
are successfully transferred into your bank account. I will furnish you
with the details of this transaction and the modality of how it is going
to be executed. But this is going to be upon your response .
Note that for some time now our government with the help of western media
have made foreigners to believe that transactions from Nigeria are fake
this is due to rapid siphoning of our oil money by the top civilians
that are connected within the government circle.

I will not contact another person till I am satisfied that you are not
going to partake in this life time opportunity, but note that we have
perfected a way of transferring this funds within the shortest possible
time. Also note that we have been protecting this deal since the regime
of our former late head of state Gen. Sani Abacha and now is the best
time to move the funds into a foreign bank account. Telephone number
[censored] you can call me for further discussion.Best regards.Musa
Idris.
