you without your prior consent and writing through this channel.
My name is 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

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.
