it still remains the fastest, surest and most secured medium of
communication.
However, this correspondence is purely private, and it should be treated as
such. I also guarantee you that this deal is hitch free from all what you
may think of.

contacting you based on Trust and confidentiality that will be attached to
this deal. The Management and the Legal department of our BANK (GUARANTY

He is a foreigner based in Nigeria, unfortunately He is late as he was
amongst those that was Killed in the recent WARRI CRISIS as you can confirm
through this website http://www.worldpress.org/Africa/1083.cfm
He is an account holder in my branch, he owns a dollar account with the sum
of US$5.5(five million five hundred United States Dollars Only) deposited in
