Dear friend
My name is Senator Spiff Rufus Inatimi, the chairman of the Senate committee
on Pension,insurance and manpower development in the National Assembly of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I am writing you to earnestly Solicit for
your assistance in helping to receive some sum of money into your account
for safe keeping.
I got your profile through an internet marketing firm while searching for a
reliable and reputable person to handle this transaction.
THE PROPOSITION:
I have the sum of US$29,000,000.00 (Twenty Nine Million Dollars) that I
intend to transfer overseas through theassistance of a foreign partner. This
money came as a result of Over provision in the budget for unclaimed pension
and accident insurance.
This over provision was done by my committee, but all payments have been
made to beneficiaries leaving behind the over budgeted amount which amounts
to US$29,000,000.00 which is deposited in the Nigeria Deposit Bank here in
Nigeria but as civil servants we can not make claim of the funds or operate
any foreign account which is against the code of conduct of my country hence
I am calling for your assistance to et this fund into your acount at the
shortest period.
I have agreed to transfer the funds overseas for my campaign funding and
other investment purposes, private use and for investment purposes with your
help.
I am contacting you therefore, to stand in as the beneficiary to process
this fund into your custody. As soon as you consent to this I will
immediately send you title documents to the fund in your name so you can
make claim for it. I will provide you with 30% for assisting us and 10% to
be set aside for reimbursement,for expenses that may arise during the
process of concluding the transaction.
The fund shall be transferred to you legally in accordance to all laid down
procedures governing transfer of funds. I have perfected all modalities for
the successful transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary.
Finally, I have to reassure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and
should be kept
absolutely confidential. Presently, you can reach me by return mail, you
should also include your telephone numbers if any, for secured communication
between us.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
I await your response. Also Note that we need to conclude this transaction
before the end of next month as we can still make payments on last years
budget till this time.
Best Regards,
Senator Spiff Rufus Inatimi
