I WANT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO A SAFE FOREIGN ACCOUNT ABROAD BUT I DONT KNOW ANY FOREIGNER. I AM ONLY CONTACTING YOU AS A FOREIGNER BECAUSE THIS MONEY CAN NOT BE APPROVED TO ANY LOCAL BANK HERE BUT CAN

I NEED YOUR STRONG ASSURANCE AND TRUST.

IMMEDIATELY WE RECEIVE THIS MONEY LEAVING NO TRACE TO ANY PLACE. I WILL USE MY HIGHRANK POSITION AND INFLUENCE OTHER CO-STAFF TO EFFECT LEGAL APPROVALS AND ONWARD TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY TO YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE LATE ACCOUNT OWNER WITH APPROPRIATE CLEARANCE FROM PROBATE REGISTRY & FOREIGN PAYMENT DEPARTMENT, WITH ASSURANCE THAT THIS MONEY WILL BE INTACT PENDING MY PHYSICAL ARRIVAL IN YOUR COUNTRY FOR THE SHARING AND OTHER INVESTMENTS.
