through the international trade and commerce (ITCC).

general of police(IG)federal Republic of Nigeria under the civilian
government of president Olusegun Obasanjo, I don`t know to what extent you
are familiar with events and current news in Nigeria about the

As I am writing you this mail I have in my hand a deposit certificate in
which some funds (15million US Dollars) was deposited in my name to a
security/finance company in a nearby Africa country, Guinea Conakry. This
very money was allocated to the police force during the last presidential,
governorship and senatorial elections by the federal government to mobilize
policemen to all strategic location in the country and the money was
converted to our personal money bag in which we took to this little country
and deposited it in my name and handed over to me all necessary documents,
since the retirement of my husband he has be under surveillance and he
currently in court over the huge funds in his account I have decided to
solicit for the participation of an honest and trustworthy person or company
that will assist in acting as my representative who I can entrust this money
for safe keeping in the security/finance company.
This very money deposited in my name is not known bythe government at the
moment because it was in my name solely The security/finance company
doesn’t know the content of the little boxes they believe that it is
African artifact; I will need your assistance to relocate this fund to your
country and for re-investment while the rest will be kept in any account of
your choice for investment purpose. I would have make this transfer myself
if only my husband was not arrested and array before the high court of
justice any move I make now will be monitored by EFCC. Handing such money
will be a risk at the moment. These are the reasons why I need your
assistance and advise. If you are interested in helping me out of this my
present situation, contact me immediately through my email and I will
furnish you with other details you need to conclude this transaction, I
cannot make calls now for security reasons because my calls might be under
surveillance. This transaction is absolutely risk free and of bilateral
benefits as I have all necessary legal documents backing it up.
Please get back to me soon to enable me introduce you to the
security/finance company as my representative/partner."Trust is good but
proof is better"
Best regards,
Angela (Mrs.)
