STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

I am Mr. Paul Andy from Apex Bank of Nigeria on contract/Inheritance
matters, I decided to contact you because of the prevailing security
report reaching my office and the intense nature of polity in Nigeria.

Security report reaching me reveals that some top officials within the
Nation Civil Service ploy to resend initial agreement / documentation
you have with my government. From what I learn they indicated they
contacted you to ship/transfer some funds on an agreed sharing ratio
and you have send funds repeatedly to Nigeria to secure this "WHITE
ELEPHANT" payment with no avail.

The worse still, they have involved a Canadian firm, which they feel
more comfortable dealing with in other to cut you off.

As it is I don't know exactly what to believe but I simply want to
help you get this money and make sure you get paid as they will be
requesting you to send more and more money in other to use it to
finance this change and make you believe they are working for your
interest. We are tired of this kind of cases and as such I want to
help you by making sure you and only you get paid and it is left for
you to compensate them if you want.

I am telling you this for your own interest so that you don't get
deceived. They confirmed you spent some money too but you really
pissed them off and they don't want to work with you any more. I am
sure this will surprise you. I felt concerned that is why I went this
far in contacting you and I hope, you will understand and keep this
confidential.

What I simply want you to do is to first be strong about this by
pretending you don't know what is going on.I assure you with me you
will get paid. To show you how important this is I had to type this
letter to you personally so that no one reads it.

I am ready to help you and without me they will simply use you because
your file has being confiscated due to this development. I want to
hear your side of the story before I move on as I have basic things
you need to get this fund ASAP on every confidential level. Feel free
to call me on Tel: +2348082872169 any time.

I have been approached by this firm to schedule a meeting with the
Budget and Appropriation Financial Unit of the Apex Bank of Nigeria as
a matter of National Security since he is the only one who can approve
such a change,Help us fight Corruption in Nigeria and uplift our
dented image internationally.

Regards,

Mr. Paul Andy
