area of Rivers State of Nigeria. I am making this contact to you in
respect of US ($10,000,000.00) TEN MILLON which I inherited from my late father.
This funds was accumulated from royalties paid to my father as
compensation by the oil firms located in our area as a result of oil
presence on our land which hamper agriculture which is our major source
of livelihood. Unfortunately my father died from protracted diabetes.
But before his death he called my attention and informed me that he
lodged some funds with a security firm and Security Code Numbers and
other documentations was also revealed to me by my late father before
his death, he then advised me to look for a reliable business partner
abroad, who will assist me in investing the funds in a lucrative
business as a result of economic instability in Nigeria.So this is
the main reason why I am contacting you to seek your assistance for us
to move this funds from the diplomatic security firm to any country of
your choice for investment purposes. So I will like you to be the
person taking delivery, so that the funds can be moved in your name
and particulars to any country of your choice where it will be claimed
and invested. Hence my father have had intimated the security firm
personnel that the owner of the consignment is his foreign partner
whose particulars will be forwarded to the firm when due.But I will
guide you accordingly. As soon as the fund reaches, I will then come
over to meet you in person, so that we can discuss physically on
Investment details. Based on this instance I and my family have
unanimously decided to give you 20% of the total funds, 2% for charity
homes and 3% for expenses, which may arise during the transaction, fax
and phone bills inclusive. The balance of 75% you will invest and
manage for my family. I hereby guarantee you that this is not
government funds, it is not drug funds and it is not funds from arms
