He warned me not to INVEST this money in any African country to Avoid trace.
He reiterated that i should invest the funds overseas where the tax policies
are not so harsh, and the economy is stable and predictable

The Government of the federal Republic of Nigeria is in search of any
misappropriation of fund by my late Dad.Fortunately,this consigment is made
known to my Mom and I alone.Because of this search,she gave me the idea
that i should look for a foriegner who could invest this money for us in a
very lucrative venture.

I therefore solicit for your kind assistance in helping us invest this funds
in your country. The CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT given to my father when he
deposited the funds with the safe security firm is with me. I will forward
to you the certificate of deposit for your perusal immediately i receive
your response.
Both of us will travel to EUROPE together to CLAIM this funds from the safe
security firm. After which we shall travel to your country for the
investment plan.

Your commision will be 40% of the total money while i invest the remaining
60%. PLEASE treat this as urgent as possible,You can call me through
