In appreciation of your esteemed contact received through a
reliable Source and the choice of your country I wish to
introduce

the oil
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
deal or have any terrorist origin.I will give you all proof
of deposit
and existence of funds once fully satisfied with your
capability and
honesty. I hope this will be the beginning of a prosperous
relationship between my family and yours Nevertheless if

any reason not interest, kindly inform me immediately so
