I Wish to inform you that I have received unconditional instruction from the presidency federal
republic of Nigeria to release part payment of $40 (Fourty million united states dollars).into
your nominated bank account.
Your name and company was discovered as next on the list of the outstanding contractors who have
not received their payments. Also note that from my record in my file your outstanding contract
payment was not $40 million USD but the Government decided to compensated few foreigners base on
the promise our president gave to the united nation on anti-corruption.
This is a huge sum which can it be broken down into smaller blocks? Please re-confirm to me if this
is inline with what you have in your record and also re-confirm to me the followings,
1) Your full name.

What about bank to bank transfer? Just today on our local news a business person was given bogus
bank draft from Nigeria,$23,000,00 from Hunt Oil Nigeria and ended up with over $1300.00 in bank
handling fees. I want to avoid this.You must call me on my direct number as soon as you receive
