FROM: MR JUSTIN GERALD (PHD),
BANK OF AFRICA.
TEL +234 8057080884
125 ABIOLA WAY VICTORIA ISLAND LAGOS NIGERIA
My Dear Friend, In Other to transfer overseas $28.5 million (USD) from BANK
OF AFRICA NIGERIA.I want to ask you to quietly look for a reliable and
honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing
bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this money,
even an empty a/c can serve to receive this funds quietly.
I am DR JUSTIN GERALD (PHD), the accountant/auditor general of the above
Finance Corporation Lagos Federal republic of Nigeria and personal confidant
to Mr. Alvaro Quesada of Dominican Republic in Caribbean Island who died in
a Plane Crash accident (2002-04-19) on his way to attend a wedding ceremony
together with his wife and only Child (Alvaro Jr). Mr. Alvaro
Quesada,is From Dominican Republic in Caribbean Island, and a prosperous
Tobacco merchant, he died in the year 2002 without having any beneficiary to
his assets including his account here in Nigeria which he opened in the
above
stated bank in the year 2001 as his personal savings for the purpose of
expansion and development of his company in Africa before his untimely death
in 2001.Until his death, he was the president of the Dominican Tobacco
Exporters Association. And from my Investigation.
I found out that No other person knows about this account because he
(Mr.Alvaro Quesada) never knew that he is going to die so soon, and so his
purpose was not achieved.If I don't remit this money immediately, it will
get lost (may be it will go into the pockets of the corrupt government
officials who will never use it for any reasonable thing at all). I don¢t
want to miss this opportunity because it comes ones in a lifetime.
The amount involved is $28.5 million (USD) Twenty eight million, five
hundred United States Dollars and no other person knows about this account.
I am contacting you for us to transfer this funds to your account as the
beneficiary, I want to first transfer $16,000.000.00(Sixteen million
USD)from this money into a safe account abroad, after which we will transfer
the remaining (12.5M). I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this
money cannot be approved to a local person here, without a valid
foreign international passport, but can only be approved to any foreigner
with valid international passport or drivers license and foreign a/c, this
is because the money is in US Dollars and the former owner of the a/c,
Alvaro Quesada is a foreigner too, and as such the money can only be
approved into a foreign account. However, I am revealing this to you with
belief in God that you will never let me down in this business. I don't know
you and have never seen you before, I only got your contacts from an
international directory,which my secretary provided for me.
You are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this
business; so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step
to take. Send also your private telephone and fax number.
I need your full co-operation to make this work because the management is
ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information
of this account, which I will give to you, upon your positive response and
once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with instruction
of a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in this business.
I want to tell you that this transaction is 100% risk free and legal because
all the documents that will back up this transaction will be available, so
that no body will question the fund when it is finally transferred to your
account. At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 40%of the
total amount and 60% will be for me. I look forward to you rearliest reply
