(RE: TRANSFER OF US$ 21.3 MILLION US DOLLARS IN TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.)
I am Prof. Charles Soludo, the Executive Governor of Nigeria apex Bank
(Central Bank Of Nigeria) CBN. Since my assumption of office on appointment by
the present Democratic Government, I have been able to ream the image of this Nation by offsetting most over due 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 in your particulars through a Foreigner who describe as an honest man. The fund originated from the balance of an over-invoiced sum of which the principal sum had been paid to foreign company that executed the contract some years ago Mr. Miller Robinson.
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 Executive Governor of Nigeria apex Bank (Central Bank Of Nigeria) CBN in the course of my duty discovered this fund and decided to transfer it outside Nigeria through a trustworthy partner who will share the fund with me on 30% to 70% basis. Therefore, what is required from you is to forward in your confidential bank particulars where this fund will be transferred.
As you will have 30% of the 21.3 million US dollars after a successful transfer into your account abroad, part of my 70% will be used on importation of valuable goods and purchasing of cars through you in Nigeria. Note: that this transaction is risk free and will be concluded within 21 working days and the money will be remitted in to your account. Also send me your
(1) Your full name.
(2) Direct Phone Number.
3) Recent company's name, position and address.
4) Profession, age and marital status.

interested in this proposal, as well as if not, do not hesitate to let me know in time.
