Dear Sir,
My name is MR John Wale Balogun the eldest son of Formal Inspector General of the Nigerian Police Force (N.P.F) Mr.Tafa Balogun
I am contacting you in a benevolent spirit; utmost confidence and trust to enable us provide a solution to a money transfer of $22M that is presently putting my entire family into great disarray. You may be quite surprised at my sudden contact to you but do not despair, I got your contact from a business site on the internet and following the information I gathered about you, I was convinced that you could be of
Assistance to me. So, I decided to contact you at once due to the urgency required for us to immediately transfer the said funds out of the country.
During the time my father was in the government with the Nigerian Police Force (N.P.F} as the police Inspector General, he was able to involve himself in several contracts and business transaction and deals that yield him several millions of United State Dollars.
The prominent amongst the deals was money that emanated from funds set aside for the importation of Arms and Security Gadgets to boost the
Nigerian Police Force, funds set to embark on oversea training of some young Nigerian Police officers to boost there strength in combating crimes in the Nigerian territory, if you are conversant with world news, you would understand better.

During this period my father was able to make some good money for himself and kept in his private bank accounts, with the help of Lebanese businessman Mr.Vassanni Chagoury and a Jewish businessman Mr. Mark Rizar who help him to transfer his share of the money to bank accounts overseas. Unfortunately, all the secrets were revealed by the investigation committee set up by the Government.
Out of the money my father made, he left the sum of $22M USD (twenty two Million Dollars) was kept in a Private security firm in Europe, through these businessmen; the other money was discovered but was unable to discover the $22M, which he kept in the security vaults of the finance company in Europe. The reason is because no names were used to lodge in the funds. Instead, he used PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (PIN) and declared the contents as Treasures and Family Valuables; also the firm issued him with a certificate of Deposit of the consignments.
Note that I have this information in my custody.
Right now, my father has been arrested and detained for interrogation. As the eldest son of my Father, I believe that I owe the entire family an obligation to ensure that the $22m USD is into a reliable accounts for investment purposes. With the present situation, I cannot do it all by myself. It is based on this that I am making this contact with you. I have done a thorough homework and fine-tuned the best way to create you as the beneficiary to the funds and effect the transfer accordingly. Is rest assured that the modalities I have resolved to finalize the entire project guarantees our safety and the successful transfer of the funds. So, you will be absolutely Right when you say that this project is risk free and viable. If you are capable and willing to assist, contact me at once via email for more details.
Believe me, there is no one else we can trust again.
All my fathers' friends have deserted us after exploiting us on the pretence of trying to help my father. So long as you keep everything to yourself, we would definitely have no problems.
For your assistance, I am ready to give you as much as 30% of the total funds after transfer and invest a reasonable percentage into any viable
Business you may suggest.
Please, I need your assistance to make this happen and please do not undermine it because it will also be a source of up liftment to you also. You have absolutely nothing to loose in assisting us instead,
You have so much to benefit in this transaction.
Awaiting your urgent and positive response.
