Hello Dear,
First and foremost I apologized using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business
of this magnitude, but this is due to confidentiality and prompt access
reposed on this medium.
I am the Deputy Governor(Operations) Central Bank of Nigeria.
I am contacting for the consummation of a lingering transaction for me to
be able to be part of the Relief Effort to the Tsunami wave victims
that affected 2 continents and over 12 countries.

http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2004/tsunami.disaster

The current trend in the country to fight official corruptions in high and
low places left so many funds abandoned with my Bank particularly, some
over invoiced contract payments and payment belonging to foreigners who
died intestate.Right from the implementations of the ICPC -Independent Corrupt
Practices and miscellaneous offences Commission Act and the EFCC-Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission Act 2004; so many countless payment of this
manipulations have been forwarded to my office for data updates and
review.Some are verified and paid out to the illegitimate claimants while
others out of fear are outrightly abandoned for lack of proper
documentation.Allthese funds goes into the Federal Reserve account as unclaimed.
Over 150 Million United States Dollars have been realized and signed
out by my office to the Central Bank account as unclaimed following this
trend.

I am contacting you in a similar payment review of a lingering
transaction of a foreign business mogul who died intestate amidst an uncredited

approved payment of USD18.3Million United states Dollars. This payment is
certified legal and updated in backing papers.This money has been abandoned
long ago owing to the sudden demise of the actual beneficiary.I want you
to
lay claim to it. I cannot write off this payment into the Federal reserve/treasury
account but in dictate of my conscience I decided to be part of the
Tsunami relief project hence mapped out 10% of the funds to help Tsunami

victims,which is my divine priority. We will share equally the remaining
90%.I have
reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me.
Presently, you can reach me by return mail
(drshamsuddeenus@yahoo.co.uk)


NB: This payment have already been approved before the death of the
beneficiary,all you need do is to fill an Indemnity application Form for
transfer of
rights and privileges for the legalization of the transaction at the Federal

High Court. The above document with a certificate of ownership issued by
the
court will be authorized by my office and forwarded for immediate
payment.All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for a smooth

actualization of the transaction within the next few working days of commencement.
You should also include your telephone, fax and or cell phone numbers
if any, for secured and effective communication between us.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
I await your response.

Deputy Governor, Operations
Central Bank of Nigeria
