Dear Friend I know that this message would come to you as a surprise since we have not met before, however, am Mr. Richard Thomas from England, am a contractor with Shell Petroleum. I want you to help me and receive the sum of $54 Million United States Dollars for our mutual benefits. First of all, let me make it clear to you that there is nothing illegal in this transaction or whatsoever, the funds will be transferred to your bank account in a legal manner. I made the funds from a crude Oil deal we (the executives of Shell) carried out during the 5 years Oil boom because we had information from crude Oil experts few years earlier, that crude Oil prices would crash drastically. To that effect, we decided to strike some deals with some Russian and Kazakh Oil and Gas companies so that could have some money to fall back on once we retire, as our retirement is around the corner. Its a public knowledge that the crude Oil prices have crashed, a barrel of crude Oil is now less than 50 USD, and it may still crash to perhaps 30 dollars or more. The reason am contacting you is also because the bank where the funds is currently has requested that I should provide an account to move out the funds as soon as possible. Alas, I can`t be able to receive the funds in my private bank account here in UK to avoid any problem with the UK authority or Shell security department who monitors our assets. I want you to help me and receive the funds in your region, am willing to give you 35% of the entire funds for your help. We can also invest the funds in your company or any project you have in your region for our mutual benefits. I wait to hearing from you for more details Best regards, Mr. Richard Thomas
