this particular email,the better for you.I noticed this abnormalities in your payment file
just last week when I was going through several out-going payment files on my payment desk.
I have decided to contact you through this important medium because CBN as the Apex bank and
under my desk has intercepted your payment as a result of fraudulent activities noticed
among those that claimed to be helping you.
I'm contacting you on trust and with complete confidence that you should as a matter of
utmost importance pay urgent attention to this particular e-mail and stop any further
contact to anybody,person or group including your so-called representing attorney because
apart from me,no other person can help you get the fund transfered to your account in your
country.
All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for a smooth actualization of the
transaction and transfer of the funds into your account in your country without any problem
within the next few working days of commencement provided you stick to my own advice and
instructions.
REQUIREMENTS:
I want you to contact me upon reciept of this mail on my private cell phone number 234 803
7405020 or email (kentas20001@yahoo.com).I will personally get any complications corrected
using my good office as soon as possible and ensure a successful transfer of all the funds
into your account without any problem.
MY CONDITIONS:
1.After using my good office/position to accomplish the needful on your behalf,you shall
give me 20% only of the total fund after transfer of all the funds into your

2.Due to my position in the bank of Nigeria here,I will prefer that you keep my involvement
100% secret and confidential even after the transfer is executed.I intend to go back to my
country as soon as I conclude this important deal with you.
A stitch in time they say saves nine.
This is the only reliable channel for you to recieve your payment otherwise all other
efforts MUST be in vain.
