- Dear Sir/Madam, Please don't see the under stated text for amount of US$10,500,000 as one of those scam mails you do receive atimes. This text message is not scam mail in any way, neither does it has any breach to law. It is absolutely legit and real to the core for you and I to secretly share. My name is BERNARD OBI, Managing Director with Railway Transport Corporation (RTC). This amount of US$10,500,000 (Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) actually came as a result of a deliberate Over Invoice from an awarded and executed supply contract of first pharse of new modern Luxury Train with its parts for the Corporation. This US$10,500,000 is already been deposited in an Escrow Account with a bank in Europe with a statement that the rightful owner of the money will request for the wire transfer of the money to his account this month. In other words, I will present you as the owner of the mentioned amount and in this regard you are required to foward send account info to it. My sincere reasons and genuine intentions to deposit the above amount in Europe before getting you informed is to avoid been quarried by the ADHOC FINANCIAL INSPECTORATE COMMITTEE of the Senate who approved that the money should be transferred to its beneficiary, based on the payment memo I sent for them for endorsement, which they did endorsed and instruct the Central Bank to comply to it to wherever bank I might instruct them to do so, due to the fact that the supply contract was executed in my Corporation. The other contractor who did the contract had actually been paid off as well and he had also sent an acknowledgment letter of appreciation to my office for onward to the Senate for approving and paying him in time through my office where the contract was awarded to him. The proof of risk free in this legit transaction is the endorsement of it by the same ADHOC FINANCIAL INSPECTORATE COMMITTEE and the entire Senate House. The Senate also had given me a clean bill of stewardship for Excellency and Accountability in handling Government funds and its properties. Upon your urgent return mail, I will send you an issued receipt with Reference Secret Payment Code and Pin Numbers issued for the Deposited fund by the Europe Bank for easy claim of the money by you as the sole beneficiary of it. You and I will share the money as follows: You as my foreign partner shall be entitled to 45% and 5% for settlement of any cost during the transaction while 50% shall be mine. On your return mail please do include your reachable telephone number for an urgent communication. Your interest is being awaited as I hope you will. Best Regards, BERNARD OBI, MANAGING DIRECTOR, RAILWAY TRANSPORT CORPORATION (R.T.C)
