very confidential business transaction, which involves the transfer
of
a huge sum of $25,000,000.0( million US dollars) which was
deposited in a finance house ,the former president gave him this
money for safe keeping when he got information that the civilance
were planning to over throw him(ABACHA).Unfortunately,my farther was
killed
in that coup detract, and I am the only person who has all
the legal documents to claim this money.
My late farther gave me all the legal documents that covers this fund
days before his death. I was waiting for things to cool down before
making my move but the recent crisis in my country has forced me
to make the move now.For now, i and my mother is in refugee camp in
south Africa.
Right now, the money is in a safe place.I am using this opportunity
to
seek for your assistance to transfer this money into your account to
be
invested in your country.
All you need to do is to forward to me an account
where this money will be sent to so that I can come down to your
country,
to invest the money in your company product for investment.
We don't have any business to cover-up, that is why we need your
assistance. If you agree to this proposal, we shall discuss on the
parcentage and I will also forward to you all the legal documents
that
covers this fund for confirmation.Please reply with this email
