RE: TRANSFER OF US$250,000,000 INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
I am Mr. Tunde Lemo, Telex/Money transfer Director of Nigeria apex Bank
(Central Bank of Nigeria). Since My assumption of office on appointment by
the present Democratic Government, I have been able to ream the image of
this Nation by offsetting most over due contract sums owed by the Federal
Government of Nigeria to foreign contractors in the past years. On the process
of these payments, I discovered through investigation that my predecessor
attempted to move out the above-mentioned sum outside Nigeria but was
unable as he was removed out of office unaware, Now, I have concluded
all necessary arrangements for the smooth transfer of the money to your account
on trust, that is while I am Contacting you on this issue. I am doing this on your!
good integrity and trustworthiness as a Foreigner.
The fund originated from the balance of an over-invoiced sum of which the principal
sum had been paid to foreign company that executed the contract some years ago.
This fund has been floating in a suspense account with Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
for a long period of time and I as the Director of Telex/Money Transfer Department of
CBN in the course of my duty discovered this fund and decided to transfer it outside
Nigeria through a trustworthy partner who will share the fund with me on 40% to 50%
basis. Therefore, what is required from you is to forward in your confidential bank particulars
where this Fund will be transferred. As you will have 40% of the US$250 million after a
successful transfer into your account abroad, part of my 50% will be use on importation
of valuable goods and purchasing of cars through you in Nigeria. Note: that this transaction
is risk free and will be concluded within 14 working days and th! e money be remitted into
your private personal account. Please contact me on this e-mail address (tundelemo_2008@yahoo.ie)
or you can call me on 234-8027598043. Also send me your telephone/fax numbers if you have. Also
include your street address. Please if you are interested in this deal, as well as if not, do not hesitate
to let me know in time.
Thanks in advance for a mutual and fruitful business association.

Mr. Tunde Lemo
