of this account valued at 10.5Million Dollars can be paid to you.

you. I have secured all necessary legal documents that can be used to back
up this claim we are making. Hence you are not expected to pay any cent here
.
All i need is to fill in your names to the ducuments and legalise it in the
court here to prove you as the legitimate beneficiary. while we have made
arrangements with Diplomatic Envoy in service to move the money through
diplomatic process to your country with all the necessary papers to enhace
depositing the money into a bank in your country.
All I require now is your honest Co-operation, Confidentiality and Trust to
enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee you that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. Please, provide me the following: as we have 5 days to
