    Subject: Greetings My Dear Friend,

    Greetings My Dear Friend,

    Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. This letter must

    come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. Please I

    want you to read this letter very carefully and i Must apologize for barging this message into your mail box without any formal

    introduction due to the urgency and confidentiality of this business and I know that this message will come to you as a surprise. Please this is not a joke and I will not like you to joke with it ok, with due respect to your person and much sincerity of purpose, I make this contact with you as I believe that you can be of great assistance to me. My name is Mr.Al-Aziz Mohammed, from Burkina Faso, West Africa. I work in United Bank for Africa (UBA) as telex manager, please see this as a confidential message and do not reveal it to another person and let me know whether you can be of assistance regarding my proposal below because it is a top secret.

    For more information, please contact me with this my private email address: mr.al.azizmohammed@outlook.fr

    I am about to retire from active Banking service to start a new life but I am skeptical to reveal this particular secret to you as a stranger. You must assure me that everything will be handled confidentially because we are not going to suffer again in life. It has been 10 years now that most of the greedy African Politicians used our bank to launder money overseas through the help of their Political advisers. Most of the funds which they transferred out of the shores of Africa were gold and oil money that was supposed to have been used to develop the continent. Their Political advisers always inflated the amounts before transferring to foreign accounts, so I also used the opportunity to divert part of the funds hence I am aware that there is no official trace of how much was transferred as all the accounts used for such transfers were being closed after transfer. I acted as the Bank Officer to most of the politicians and when I discovered that they were using me to succeed in their greedy act; I also cleaned some of their banking records from the Bank files and no one cared to ask me because the money was too much for them to control. They laundered over $5billion Dollars during the process.

    Before I send this message to you, I have already diverted ($10.5million Dollars) to an escrow account belonging to no one in the

    bank. The bank is anxious now to know who the beneficiary to the funds is because they have made a lot of profits with the funds. It is more than Eight years now and most of the politicians are no longer using our bank to transfer funds overseas. The ($10.5million Dollars) has been laying waste in our bank and I don’t want to retire from the bank without transferring the funds to a foreign account to enable me share the proceeds with the receiver (a foreigner). The money will be shared 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no one coming to ask you about the funds because I secured everything. I only want you to assist me

    by providing a reliable bank account where the funds can be transferred.

    For more information, please contact me with this my private email address: mr.al.azizmohammed@outlook.fr

    You are not to face any difficulties or legal implications as I am going to handle the transfer personally. If you are capable of

    receiving the funds, do let me know immediately to enable me give you a detailed information on what to do. For me, I have not stolen the money from anyone because the other people that took the whole money and did not face any problems. This is my chance to grab my own life opportunity but you must keep the details of the funds secret to avoid any leakages as no one in the bank knows about my plans. Please get back to me if you are interested and capable to handle this project, I shall intimate you on what to do when I hear from your confirmation and acceptance. If you are capable of being my trusted associate, do declare your consent to me I am looking forward to hear from you immediately for further information.

    Thanks with my best regards.
