Dear Blam,
Yes — I have been extremely fortunate and Allah has shown great favor to me in providing this priceless treasure into my hands.
However, due to the laws on “antiquities” I can not remove this vast fortune from my country...without outside assistance.
You have been referred to me as a honest man - so I wish to place my total trust in you...
If you will send me all the particulars about your bank account, name, address, mother’s maiden name, social security number and $50,000 in cash as proof of earnest intent - I will transfer all the gold coins, jewels and artifacts to your bank in your name...
If you will hold everything safe, until my exit from Nigeria — you may retain 40% of the total value for your appreciated assistance and I will ask you to return to me - only 60% of the treasure..
Of course at that time - I will also return your $50,000 cash earnest money.
Please respond promptly -— hiding this huge treasure is a problem...
It's unfortunate that I must inform you that I just invested the last of my resources on this $1M tree.
