for investment purposes in your country of a large volume of fund in the
amount of $35.5million. This said funds is presently not at my disposal and
this is my main reason of contacting you for assistance. Since we are not
authorized to operate Foreign Bank account hence I went into search for a
reliable and honest person who will handle this business very effectively
and our decision to use your account on full trust and confidence to
transfer this money outside Nigeria. Most importantly, having in mind that
this deal will take sum money to pull and we do not have enough resources to
facilitate this transaction, we have jointly agreed to transfer the funds

of the funds. I hereby advise that you should try and send to me your

3) Your company's address or home address for documentations
Moreover, it is pertinent to note that it is not risky and does not require
much engagement since we have taken care of the transaction in full
capacity. If this proposal is acceptable to you, please get back to me via
this email address or call me via my secured and direct phone anytime
+234-1-47036153 so we can discuss in details about this transaction. Do not
hesitate to contact so that we can work out the procedure for the execution
of this transaction. I am anxiously waiting for your response with the hope
that you understand the confidential nature of this transaction so as to
