Subject: From Don Morowey

Dear Sir,

My name is Don Morowey from Kaduna the northern part of the country; I
am the permanent secretary of the federal ministry of finance of Nigeria,
I got your contact and write to you after due consultation of a reliable
and trust worthy foreign business partner from our chambers trade and
commerce.I want to have you as my foreign business partner, due to my
position
with my ministry I am not allow to operate a foreign bank account, I will be
due for retirement by nest year June, and as such I have begin to have a
sleepless night about the rest
days of my life after my retirement.

I am a good Christian, and have tried to live according to the dictate
of Almighty God, I am not a corrupt Government official which has been
widely known all over the world that my Government official are corrupt
looting
and siphoning Government funds into their personal foreign bank accounts,
statistically the sum of US$100Billion has been siphoned out of the
country into various private accounts, this funds did not trek to this
various
private bank accounts, but was transfer with the help of foreign
partners.The country is facing a great political problem, it's the survival
of
thefittest, and this is so because everybody knows that Nigeria is a
three NATION living as one,some people have the oil, and some people did not
have anything, and
there's a lot of marginalize in all sectors including in my region, so they
can
never be good economy, unless the north go their way, the south go their
way and the east go their way, we are so rich, but even Mr. President is
steeling huge funds and have his privaterefineries in many African Nations,
everybody is involve in this. But in my case, I issue out contracts and the
contractors give me 10% because I
make sure that they receive there payment very fast and as when due, and
immediately after real examination of their jobs and ascertain that the jobs
are well done, so I have the total sum
of US$7.5M (Seven million five hundred thousand united stated dollars) in a
security company here in Nigeria my personal money. I want to transfer the
money into your bank account, while you will help me to invest 70% of the
fund into a profitable area of business, while 5% will be kept aside incase
of any expenses that might occur during the course
transferring the fund to your bank account, while the remaining 25% will
be for you for this great favor.

Thanks,
I expect your urgent reply,
Don Morowey
