Dear Sir,

I am Mr.ike obi an Auditor with the national bank of Nigeria.(NBN) Four months Ago I led a three man Audit panel to balance the books of the Apex Bank (national Bank of Nigeria) In the course of our duties we discovered that the sum of (us $4,600,000.00) Million (Four  million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) has been lying in a suspense account with the Apex Bank (NBN) since 1998 without Beneficiary. Further investigation reveals that this sum accumulated as a result of over - invoiced executed contracts influenced by past Retired Military government personnel's and was unclaimed due to trans formation of new democratic government after careful deliberations, we (my colleagues and I) unanimously agreed to transfer this sum of (us $4,600,000.00) out of Nigeria for investment purposes. Hence we are seeking your assistance and co-operation to achieve this goal.

We have put all modalities in place to apply for the transfer of this fund to you or your company as contract payment having completed a contract we purportedly awarded to you.
