Dear Sir,
Compliment of the season; I am glad to write you and to discuss this important business transaction to you. How are and your family? I hope it is well?
I am Mr. Franklin Martins, the Chairman of a 9 man Committee set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria to investigate the cause of the recent Lagos Bomb explosion, and compensate the victims of the Bomb explosion that killed and destroyed lives and properties worth millions of Dollars.
We have so far received about $500million US Dollars from international Communities and some indigenous multi-millions companies in Nigeria as donations and gifts. And we have also settled about 250 thousand affected homes to the tune of $130 millions US Dollars.
We want to solicit for your kind assistance to transfer about $15.2 million US Dollar as part of the money into your private Account for our personal use.
All security measures for a successful transfer of this money have been perfect ed from our side through our associates in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The only thing we require from you is your private account No. Address, Telephone and Fax No. And E-mail Address of your Bank and Company.
We will compensate you with 25% of the total money upon the successful transfer of the money.
Please keep secret and treat as most urgent and through e-mail Jpdouglas01@yahoo.com
Please note- this committee will be dissolve as soon as we handed over by December, 2004.
Yours faithfully
Mr. Franklin Martins
