Hello,
I send you this mail with all due respect for your advancement and position,
knowing fully well you might have gotten a similar mail to this in the past.Please
kindly direct your response to my account at (vincent.duru@mail.ee), and
i will attend to you expeditiously.
I am pleased you are educated and as such will have access to the internent
news as i will want you to confirm what i will propose to you. I am one
of the cabinet members of the suspended Governor of Plateau State in Nigeria
(now reinstated), Chief Joshua Chibi Dariye. My name is Mr. Vincent Duru.
Our Governor was susupended as a result of his inability to control a tribal
war in my State that resulted in the death of many individuals. Well that
news will not interest you. The headquarters of Britain's Metropolitan Police
Service, Scotland Yard, on thursday 2nd of September last year arrested
our suspended Governor at Marriott Hotel in Central London. He was arrested
along with a woman and both of them were charged for money laundering.
Our suspended Governor had in his possesion over 2 million pounds.Now this
is my proposal, i have access to the sum of 11 million United States dollars
with which our suspended Governor has amassed from over invoice and this
sum is presently deposited in a security firm in my country.I am looking
for a solid and business minded individual that can open or provide an account
that is to be credited with the sum of 11 million dollars or someone who
will be able to provide a property/properties which we will buy up with
the money. It will be most convenient for this funds to be transferd via
an account or the funds used to buy up a property, all to avert a reoccurance
of what happened to our Governor. Therefore, can you provide an account
to receive these funds?
You are not under any obliagtion to respond to this mail as i believe that
if you are discerning you will know that this is no joke. Understand that
i have two of my colleagues involved with me. Please if you are not matured
or if you feel you are not up to this offer, do not bother responding to
this mail.This is a deal that will be approached only by legitimate means.
At no point will we step out of law.
At your response, i will tell you what we will do. Please if you deem it
fit to respond, then include your personal phone number with country code
and i will give you a call immediately. Let us avail ourselves of this situation.
