I am nmirinma okezie, Telex/Money transfer Director of Nigeria apex
Bank
(Central Bank Of Nigeria). Since my assumption of office on appointment
by
the
present Democratic Government, I have been able to redeem the image of
this
Nation by offsetting most overdue 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 your particulars When I went through the internet. The fund
originated
from the balance of an over-invoiced sum of money which the principal
sum
had
been paid to the original company that executed the contract some years
ago.
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 Director of
Telex/Money
Transfer Department of CBN in the course of my duty,I discovered this
fund
and
decided to transfer it outside Nigeria through a trust worthy partner
who
will
share the fund with me on 30% to 70% basis.
Therefore, what is required from you is to forward to me your
confidential
bank
particulars where this fund will be transferred. As you will have 30%
of
the25million US dollars after a successful transfer of the money into
your
account abroad,part of my 70% will be used for investment in your
country.
Note: that this transaction is risk free and will be concluded within
(5)
working days and the money be remitted into your account. Please
contact me
on
my email as indicated above
Please if you are interested in this proposal, as well as if not, do
not
hesitate to let me know immediately.
