Subject: From Dr Tony. Elumelu
Hello Dear,
Kindly give me a few minutes to explain the reason for my writing you.
Handle this mail with utmost urgency and confidenctiality, first let me
state that i do not mean to invade your privacy.
I am 'Dr Tony Elumelu' the present Managing Director of Standerd Trust Bank
Of Nigeria plc (STD), which recently merged with the Union Bank Of Nigeria
Plc (UBA), to form the "MEGA Bank Of Nigeria PLc" which i still retain the
position of Managing Director of the bank.
Now i write to make a business proposal to you. I had a client, a frontline
politician, He was the Chairman of Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) and
also member of Board of Trustees of PDP. He was also Chairman, Presidential
Committee of Trade Malpractices 'Mr Mohammed Waziri' who wanted me to
assist him with the transfer of the sum of $30,000,000usd (thirty million
Usa Dollars) to one Mr George Muton, in Switzerland, to which extent he
promised to compensate me with the sum of $300,000usd (three hundred
thousand Usa dollars) unfortunately Mr 'Mohammed Waziri' was involved in
the october 2005 Belview Aircrash in Nigeria in which 117 lives were lost.
To this extent this has stalled the transfer of this fund till date.
Now i do not wish to continue the transfer of this money to the original
beneficiary Mr George Muton, since he was only helping 'Mr Mohammed Waziri'
to have this money transferred into his account by acting as the real owner
of the money. I need you to work with me so that i can have you receive this
money as the original beneficiary, after which we would have the money split
based on the agreed proportion which you and i would have reached before the
transfer is concluded.
If you are capable of handling this transaction,write me through my private
email address dr_elumelu01@myway.com and also let me have your private phone
number.
Let me also assure you that this transaction is risk free, you will have
nothing to fear about as your personality would be properly protected.
Mr Mohammed Waziri died in the Belview aircrash, for record purpose please
kindly referr to,http://nm.onlinenigeria.com/templates/?a=5887&z=17 check
