--ello my dear friend,forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and writing through this channel
My name is Falilat Aisha Haruna a daughter to the present Head of the Foreign Affairs Committe of Nigeria.
My father deposited US$20.5 Million in my name in a security company here in Nigeria.This funds I intend to transfer it abroad so that I will come over and then invest this money in real estate.
To be frank and brief,the funds with which i intend to carry out my proposed investments in your country is presently in a coded security company and i need your assistance to transfer the funds to your country in a convenient bank account that will be provided by you before we can put the funds into use in your country.
The total money to be transfered is US$20.5 Million, of which your share shall be 25% if you agree to help in the transfer.
As soon as payment is effected, and the amount mentioned above is successfully transferred,
i intend to use my own share in acquiring some estates abroad. For this too you shall also serve as my agent. In the light of this, I would like you to forward to me the following information:
1.Your personal telephone number for easy communication
2.Your personal fax number
3.Your contact address
You are requested to communicate your acceptance of this proposal through my above stated email address after which we shall discuss in details the modalities for seeing this transaction through.
All you have to do now is to get intouch with the security company that he deposted the boxes with,i will also inform them that you are the recipient of the boxes which my father deposited in my name with them.
Your assistance is really required in getting this funds transfered as soon as possible.
I would also want you to keep this secret as the security company do not know that the boxes contains,money rather than valuable documents and art work of my late gran pa.
So you dont have to tell them that the boxes contains money while emailing them.all you need to tell them is that you want the boxes which miss Aisha Haruna deposited with them as personal effect to be shipped to your home as soon as possible.
I dont want my dad to know about this,I am contacting you to assist me because my father has ordered my bank manager to watch my bank account and monitor its transaction so that i may not touch that which he deposited in my name.
I want you to know that only my father and myself knows about this money,which he moved from the national tresury as he is the present Head of the Foreign Affairs Committe.
I tell you all this in confidence so that you can understand the origin of this large sums. Your respound will be highlg appreciated.
Best regard,
Miss. Falilat ,Aisha Haruna
