Dear,Sir
RE: TRANSFER OF US$25,000,000 INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
I am TONY FRANK, 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 redeem the image of this Nation by offsetting most overdue
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. Contacting you on this issue became imperative owing to
recommendations through an acceptance of your good integrity and
trustworthiness as I came across your particulars When I went
through the internet. The fund originated from the balance of an
over-invoiced sum of money which the principal sum had been paid to
the original 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,I
discovered this fund and decided to transfer it outside Nigeria
through a trust worthy partner who will share the fund with me on
30% to 70% basis.
Therefore, what is required from you is to forward to me your
confidential bank particulars where this fund will be transferred.
As you will have 30% of the25million US dollars after a successful
transfer of the money into your account abroad,part of my 70% will
be used for investment in your country. Note: that this transaction
is risk free and will be concluded within (5) working days and the
money be remitted into your account. Please contact me on my email
as indicated above
Please if you are interested in this proposal, as well as if not,
do not hesitate to let me know immediately.
ALL REPLY SHOULD BE FORWARD TO MY PRIVATE E-MAIL

Truly yours,
Tony Frank
