Dear,
How are you and your family. From the mail I wrote to you, you may be
wondering why should such a mail come to you. I am sorry for any
inconveniences this may cause you but I believe that is how it has been
destined by nature that we should meet. By reading my mail, I know you will
understand that I am a banker, head of operations.
Listen I would like to explain to you very confidential matter concerning
the consignment I have cargo out through the diplomats without your
information. Yes I am working with the bank where I have put in thirty six
years of service, that means I am among those that started the bank,
now the bank has started growing the new approved board of directors all
turned against me to retire me just because I came from the minority in my
country.
Now there is some money in my possession which is thirty Million United
States Dollars ($30,000,000.00) which I packaged in a box kept in my house,
yes the money belongs to the bank but I do not want to disclose this money
to the bank because of what they are trying to do to me. I kept it in my
house planning how to take it outside the country to start a new life
with my family.
Surprisingly, the board of directors brought in an auditor without my
knowledge, now they have finished with their auditing discovering that a
huge sum of money was missing which part of it is this that I cargo out.
The information that reached me on Sunday by a friend of mine that works in
the same bank with me, told me that the bank is trying to bring police to my
house to conduct searching immediately I carried the box to the diplomat
office because I have a friend there but I did not disclose what was in the
box. There the box was weighed and the weight was 220kg, I was able to pay
half of the charge, which is $75,000.00 that was in my possession. The cargo
has left Nigeria shores to London.
Now I want you to send to me:
1. Your full name.
2.Your address, and the nearest airport.
3.Your mobile telephone number and fax number.
This is to enable me forward the in formations to the diplomat to deliver
the cargo to your house, then when I am through with the police here by then
you would have retrieved the cargo from the diplomats.Please I believe in
you and my whole life depends on this money.
Thanks for your understanding.
Best regards,
Thanks for your understanding
Dr MICHAEL JAMES.
