I Am Mr. Mark Obiora. a computer scientist with the central bank of Nigeria. I
am 26 years old, and I just started work with C.B.N. I came across your file which was
marked X and your released disk painted RED, I took time to study it and found
out that you have paid VIRTUALLY all fees and certificate have been paid, but the fund has not
been released to you. The most annoying thing is that they cannot tell you the
truth that on no account will they ever release the fund to you, instead they
let you spend money unnecessarily.

I do not intend to work here all the days of my life, I can release this fund to
you if you can certify me of my security, and how I can run away from this
Nigeria if I do this, because if I don't run away from this country after i made
the transfer, I will be seriously in trouble and my life will be in danger.
Please this is like a Mafia setting in Nigeria; you may not understand it
because you are not a Nigerian.

The only thing I will need to release this fund is a special HARD DISK we call
HD120 GIG. I will buy two of it, recopy your information, destroy the
previous one, punch the computer to reflect in your bank within 24banking
hours. I will clean up the tracer and destroy your file, after which I will run
away from Nigeria to meet with you. If you are interested.

Do get in touch with me immediately, You Receive my email for more details
tell/fax numbers for easy communications and also confirm your banking
details, so that there won't be any mistake.

Regards,

Mr. Mark Obiora
Computer programmer CBN

Dear

Greetings to you, I am very sorry for my late reply, which was due to I was away to attend the 2026 world ITT seminar in Geneva Switzerland and just return back to country last Monday, being 27th of April, 2026. It is therefore my privilege to respond to your reply to my proposal to you. Like I stated in my first letter to you, which I hope you actually understood very well, which is assistance or help I wanted to use my position to give you as a Computer Scientist, here at the Central Bank of Nigeria.

I am Mr. Mark Obiora, a computer scientist with the central bank of Nigeria and as I started work with C.B.N. I came across your file which was marked X and your released disk painted RED, I took time to study it and found out that you have paid VIRTUALLY all fees, your fund has not been released to you.

The most annoying thing is that nobody is ready or willing to tell you the truth that on no account will they ever release the fund to you, instead they let you spend money unnecessarily. As I do not intend to work here all the days of my life, I can release this fund to you if you will certify me of my security, and how I can run away from this Nigeria if I do this, because if I don't run away from this country after i made the transfer, I will be seriously in trouble and my life will be in danger, as this is like a Mafia setting in Nigeria; which you will not understand it because you are not a Nigerian.

It was on the cause of my duty and my routine check on the systems that I discovered your file and your inheritance payment sum of US$10.5M, which has over stayed for release and was lingering because of corrupt attitude of some CBN officials, who their ambition was to divert your fund to a different account. In fact from my finding, so many unlucky beneficiaries have lost their funds through this criminal attitude of some CBN officials.

The only thing I will need to release this fund is a special HARD DISK we call HD120 GIG. you will buy two of it, I will use it to recopy your information, destroy the previous old one, punch the computer to reflect in your bank within 24banking hours. I will clean up the tracer and destroy your file, after which I will run away from Nigeria to meet with you.

I decided to take the risk and contact you, because I will not need any fee or any form of tax from you than two diskettes, which I will use to reprogram your fund and transfer it immediately to your account. If you can provide me with the two diskettes, I will use it to move your fund to your account within 24 banking hours.

Once you buy the two diskettes and send them to me, I will use them to transfer your fund to your account without any trace or anyone noticing it. I will use the two diskettes to recopy all your information that was in the old diskettes, destroy the old diskette, and punch the interswitch Quick Teller Online Instant credit chrome guide swift, to enable your fund reflect into your bank account instantely. Upon confirmation of the transfer into your account, I will clean up the tracer and destroy your file, thereafter; I will come over to meet you for my share of 25%.

However, if you are not interested, you should not bother to reply me again, because our communication will not be unnecessary, since you are not under any obligation, to accept my honest and sincere offered assistance. In other words, you can forget all about my proposal and pretend as if we never had any discussion of this nature, because furthering our communication, will be useless.

If you want to take advantage of this opportunity, I assured you that the transfer will be executed under a security arrangement that will guarantee your security and uninterrupted transfer fund to your account, as it will be back up with legal documents that will be transmitted to your bank, confirming the legality of the fund as an inheritance legitimate fund. Do get in touch with me again, if you are still interested in my proposal, by providing me with your telephone numbers and wasap number for fast and private communications and also reconfirm your full names, address, banking details and copy of your identity card or international passport. The choice is yours. Thanks for your understanding and have a great day.

Regards,

Mr. Mark Obiora
