Subject: YOUR REPLY IS NEEDED URGENTLY
My dear friend in need,
Good day and God bless you. In my widest imagination i could not have
thought of what my family are i nto now but God knows best. I am not lost on
how to commence my feeling and intension over what fate has handed to me now
and please, kindly advise on how to go about it if you are not interested
because i am damn afraid to confide or trust any body here in Nigeria. God
will bless you.
I am Lucky Alamieyeseigha , the eldest son of the deposed governor Deprieye
Alamieyeseigha of Bayelsa State of Nigeria, in west africa. Beyelsa State is
an oil rich state where Nigerian 70% crude oil is gotand most of the foreign
oil companies in Nigeria are situated here. Nigeria is one of the major oil
producing country's in the world.
Sometime last year my father then as the executive Governor of Bayelsa State
was cought with 1million Punds Sterling which he intended to lodge in a bank
in cash in London. The security agent acted on a tip off given to them by
one of my father's aid who traveled with him to London. His house in London
was searched and that amount was got in his house in cash with him. He was
arrested, charged and detained for money laundering. Some how he escape back
to Nigeria and resumed office just to cover up all his deals since May 1999
his admistration started. You can make enquiries about this particular
incident of last year 2005 from CNN or BCC. He was re-arrested in Nigeria
after about three month by the Nigeria Police when he had been duelly
impeached by the State House of Assembly.
During my fathers seven years in office, 1999 to 2006 he awarded several
contracts of various nature to many foreign companies which had been
completely executed and the contractors paid in full and signed off
completely. Most of these contract were over invoiced into millions of
Dollars, secondly some of the foreign oil companies pay him privately for
some secrete deals he allows them to transact in domain of authority.
Because of my fathers present predicament and coupled with the fact that it
is only a foreigner can claim those over invoice Dollars in coded account
here in Nigeria, hence this proposal to you. Note that you area of business
does not matter in this transaction since the modalities of transfering
those fund have been accessed and re-accessed severally before contacting
you now. You are assured that it is 100% risk free.
I want us to first of all transfer the $15.7Million Dollars in Zenith Bank
International here in Nigeria before the other three will follow up and
therefore, these requirements are needed from you urgently to enable me
transfer the funds to your account immediately.
1) Your private phone number
2) Your Bank account where this money will be transfered to
3) Your age and country of origin
This transaction most be completed within fourteen working days from the day
i get these requirements from you.
Mode of sharing:
65% for my family
30% for you
5% for any expensis incured by me and you
Reply to mesegha_original1@yahoo.ca for security reasons
Your sincerely,
Lucky Alamieyeseigha
