Subject: ASSISTANCE
Dear friend,
I wish to contact you regarding very important situation that is of great
important to me. I am Anthony muyiwa Ige. The first son of late chief Bola
Ige former minister for justice in Nigeria who was assassinated on 23rd
Dec.2001 by agent of government. During his tenure as the minister for power
and steel before he became minister of justice, he was involved in debt buy
-back at Ajeokuta steel complex where a large sums of money was realized.
However, the government in power wasn't interested in depositing greater
percentage of the fund into federation account.
This led to misunderstanding between my father and the authority. Though, at
this point he had however, paid in substantial amount of the fund into the
designated account before he realized government intention.When it became
obvious that my father wasn't ready to release the remaining fund to
government probably for them to share among themselves. They threatened him
with all manner of blackmail. It was at this juncture that my father through
his contact and connection where able to find a security company and
deposited this fund outside Nigeria through a diplomatic cover. We were
informed about this few months before he was killed. It is our believe and
finding that it was due to his refusal to release this fund that led to his
untimely death.
Our fear that he was killed by government was prove right when the authority
allowed the principal suspect in his murder Dr. Omisore to context
senatorial election even when in detention. Well 5yrs after his death, it
was the intention of the family to find a suitable foreign partner who will
help us transfer this fund which has been with this security company for
years. It was on this process we were when the unfortunate thing happened
again. My mother also died. The inability of government to trace this money
was due to the nature of deposit where conventional bank were not used
rather, he settled for Security Company though more expensive but more
secure. Information available to us indicate that government having tried
everything possible to compel us hand over the money which we denied having
any knowledge of will likely drop all the charges against Omisore.
Now since the death of my father, things have not been easy for us. We have
now decided that 5yrs after his demise, it is time we take control of
anything he had. We have immediately she died informed the security about
that. What the entire family agreed on was to source for a foreigner whose
name would be sent to the sec. Company's head quarter in GhanaIndicating our
intention to effect change on the name of the beneficiary of the fund
through our lawyer and subsequent payment of the fund into his account or
nominated account. This idea was agreed on so that even if the government is
still interested in knowing what happened to the fund, it will be difficult
for them to trace it. The fund was deposited with the name; chief Bola Ige
and the beneficiaries are my mother, my 2 siblings, with the power to
include or exclude any beneficiary we may deem necessary in future and
myself.
This is the clause I want to explore in this transaction, which authorizes
us to effect any change in the beneficiary. We equally agreed to compensate
who ever helps in this transaction with twenty percent of the total money
seventy percent for me and my family while ten percent will be used to
settle any expenses incurred on both side. The amount that is involved is
TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS.It is important that you are informed about the need
to maintain some level of secrecy to avoid raising unnecessary suspicion. We
will not rush any of the process so that mistakes will not be made. My phone
number and other relevant information would be made available to you pending
the time you reply indicating your wiliness to help.
While responding, please endevour to send your phone\fax number as well
other relevant data that will help in early comclusion this deal.
I wish to assure you that any thing needed to be done locally to facilitate
the smooth transfer of this fund has been taken care of. I wish to stop here
hoping that my request will receive favorable consideration and with the
impression that all you need to know about this transaction has been made
available to you, but do not hesitate to enquire on any issue that you need
explanation on. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
Anthony M.Ige
