Subject: TREAT AS URGENT
FROM: ELVIS MARTINS(PHD),
GRAND FINANCE AND TRUST BANK.
125 WESE BANK ROAD WUSE FCT-ABUJA
NIGERIA
My Dear Friend,
In Other to transfer overseas $28.5 million(USD) from GRAND FINANCE AND
TRUST BANK,ABUJA NIGERIA.I want to ask you to quietly look for a reliable
and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing
bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this
money, even an empty a/c
can serve to receive this funds quitely.
I am Dr.ELVIS MARTINS(PHD), the accountant/auditor of the above Finance
Corporation in abuja Federal republic of Nigeria and personal confidant to
Mr.Alvaro Quesada of Dominican Republic in Caribbean Island who died in a
Plane Crash accident(2002-04-19) on his way to attend a weddind ceremony
together with his
wife and only Child (Alvaro Jr).
Mr.Alvaro Quesada, is From Dominican Republic in Caribbean Island, and a
prosperous Tobacco merchant, he died in the year 2002 without having any
beneficiary to his assets including his account here in Nigeria which he
opened in the above stated bank in the year 2001 as his personal savings for
the purpose of expansion and developement of his company in Africa before
his untimely death in 2001.Until his death,he was the president of the
Dominican Tobacco Exporters Association. And from my Investigation,i found
out that No other person knows about this account because he( Mr.Alvaro
Quesada )never knew that he is going todie so soon, and so his purpose was
not achieved. If i don't remit this money immediately, it will getlost(may
be it will go into the pockets of the corrupt government officials who will
never use it for any reasonable thing at all).I dont want to miss this
opportunity because it comes ones in a life time.
The amount involved is $28.5 million(USD)Twenty eight milion,five hundred
United States Dollars and no other person knows about this account. I am
contacting you for us to transfer this funds to your account as the
beneficiary, I want to first transfer
$16,000.000.00(Sixteen million USD) from this money into a safe account
abroad, after which we will transfer the remaining (12.5M). I am only
contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a
local person here, without a valid
foreign international passport, but can only be approved to any foreigner
with valid international passport or drivers license and foreign a/c, this
is because the money is in US Dollars and the former owner of the a/c,
Alvaro Quesada is a foreigner too,
and as such the money can only be approved into a foreign account.
However, I am revealing this to you with belief in God that you will never
let me down in this business.I don't know you and have never seen you
before,i only got your contacts from an international directory which my
secretary provided for me.
You are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this
business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step
to take. Send also your private telephone and fax number.
I need your full co-operation to make this work because the management is
ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information
of this account,which I will give to you, upon your positive response and
once I am convinced that you are
capable and will meet up with instruction of a key bank official who is
deeply involved with me in this business.
I want to tell you that this transaction is 100% risk free and legal because
all the documents that will back up this transaction will be available, so
that no body will question the fund when it is finaly tranfered to your
account.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 40% of the total
amount and 60% will be for me. I look forward to your earliest reply through
