Subject: Dear Friend,contact me
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Jude Emmanuel and I am in charge of the Foreign Contract Payment Settlement Division, Nigeria. The reason why I am sending this mail to you is to inform you that the Federal Government of Nigeria have decided to pay all owed persons/companies their contract payment/inheritance funds that have been outstanding since the last regime, the new President of my country made a promise to the International community that all local and International debts must be settled in his tenure. My office is charge of final clearance for payment to any individual/person that is to be paid so I want to use the opportunity to include your name/company name in the list of Government contractors that is to be paid by the Nigerian Government so that you can receive the payment of US$10Million as one of the foreign contractors that is o wed by the Nigerian Government.
The US$10Million came into existence as a result of an over-invoicing of funds which I did on another contractor's payment; the contractor's payment was actually US$65Million but I intentionally raised it to US$75Million, the contractor from Malaysia have been paid the sum of US$65Million as his original contract amount leaving me with the top up balance of US$10Million which I have set aside for myself pending when I make contact with a sincere and trusted person that I can entrust the money to for investment purposes. The money is in a secret and coded account in one of the Nigerian banks and can only be transferred to a foreign bank account as a contract payment. I am a Government official still serving the Nigerian Government and I am not supposed to operate a local or foreign bank account with huge deposit of US$10Million hence the reason why I decided to contact you for assistance. if you accept my proposal and agree to be my partner, I shall present your name to the Government of Nigeria and the office of the Presidency in conjunction with the Senate committee on Foreign Contract Payment shall approve the US$10Million with your name as a Nigerian contractor for immediate payment of the funds to you provided you are cleared and authorized by me.
After the deal is concluded and the money in your custody and care, I will travel and meet with you in your country for us to share the money thus: 30% of the money shall be for you, you shall also give 10% to the less privileged, orphanages and charity organizations in your country while 60% shall be for me. I will like you to contact me as soon as possible my private email address: judeemmanuel@sify.com
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Jude Emmanuel
Chairman, Foreign contract Payment Settlement Division
Federal Republic of Nigeria
