very gently and tell me what you think, if we can transact it together or

Lagos headquters Federal Republic of Nigeria. I got your information when i
was searching for an oversea partner among other names. I propose this to
you in good faith; I am 52 years old, married with four lovely kids.
I have a very important business which i would like to execute with you
which involves some reasonable amount of cash and no risk involve, i have
packaged a financial transaction that will benefit you and I, as the OPS
manager in this bank it is my duty to send in a financial report to my
headmen office in Abuja at the end of each business year. On the course of
the last year business report, i discovered that we made SIXTEEN MILLION
U.S. DOLLARS(USD$16,000,000.00 ) which our head office do not know about,
and no single staff is aware of this oversurplus extra cash and will never
be aware of it since i have wisely parckaged an arrangement to move out the
money for myself as i intend to retire from service soon. I blinded the
files. I have placed this funds on what we call escrow account with no
beneficiary and awaiting data, so that it would be simply easy for anybody
to claim peacefully.
As an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money, so
my aim of contacting you is for you to apply and stand as the beneficiary to
this money and order the bank to transfer it into your account with
immediate effect.
As soon as you receive it in your bank account, i agree that you will take
40% of the total funds as your commission. There are practically no risks
involved in this event, it will be easily evacuated into your account and
all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of the fund
who made the deposit with this bank so that my head office can order the
transfer to any of your bank account that you shall indicated. I assure you
that hence you apply as the beneficiary of the fund it shall be vividly
released to you.
If you accept to work with me I will appreciate it very much. I awits for
your kind response so that we can go over the details and i will give you my
full information and relay to you more information on the money and explain
to you how we should start the claim.
Remember there is no risk involved, i promise.
Thank you in advance and May God bless you and your family.
Yours truly
MR.HAROLD FANBOR.
