Subject: Using the Internet to Unlock Your Child's Learning Potential

Date: Monday, 9 August, 2010, 3:37 AM

A great deal of coverage is given to the issue of online safety and protecting children from the less desirable elements of the internet. Just as important, but less talked about, is the value of teaching your children how to use the internet as a learning and research environment, providing them with the tools needed to take advantage of this new technology and to succeed in the academic and economic environment of the future. For younger children, a number of public and privately-funded groups have examined the best practices and opportunities for early childhood education in classroom settings and at home.

CABLE: NGINFO60

DEAR FRIEND,

PERMIT ME TO SECRETLY TRANSFER THE SUM OF $6MILLION USD INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, I GOT THIS $6MILLION USD FROM VARIOUS CONTRACTS WHICH I SUPERVISED FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA IN THE YEAR 2009. THE CONTRACT WAS VALUED AT $31MILION USD DOLLARS BUT I USED MY POSITION AND INFLUENCE TO INFLATE THE CONTRACT VALUE TO $37MILLION USD. THE CONTRACTS HAVE BEEN EXECUTED SUCCESSFULLY AND ALL THE FOREIGN CONTRACTORS HAVE BEEN DULY PAID. NOW THIS $6MILLION WAS NOT KNOWN TO THE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA.

ALREADY, THE $6MILLION USD WAS LODGED INTO CENTRAL BANK  BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA. THIS IS BECAUSE CENTRAL BANK IS THE FIRST RECOGNIZED  BANK IN NIGERIA WHICH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA USES TO PAY FOREIGN CONTRACTORS. NOW THE $6MILLION USD IS LEFT IN A CODED ACCOUNT WITH THE CENTRAL BANK  AND IT WILL BE PAID INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WITHIN A FEW DAYS. YOU WILL BE MADE ONE OF THE CONTRACTORS AND A CONTRACT FILE WILL BE OPENED IN YOUR NAME. PLEASE NOTE THAT CENTRAL BANK  DID NOT KNOW THAT THE $6MILLION USD BELONGS TO ME. THEREFORE, KEEP THIS TRANSACTION VERY CONFIDENTIAL. IN FACT, MY WIFE IS NOT AWARE OF THIS TRANSACTION. 40% FOR YOUR  ASSISTANCE, 60% FOR ME.

KINDLY FURNISH ME WITH YOUR CONTACT DETAILS SUCH AS YOUR HOME ADDRESS, DIRECT PHONE NUMBER ETC AND GIVE ME A CALL AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE THIS EMAIL FOR MORE EXPLANATION. +23419548658

REGARDS,
PHILIP JAMES
