Subject: Dear Friend......................
Dear Sir/Madam,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am Miss Tina Ige the eldest daughter to Late Federal Attorney-General and minister of justice (Nigeria) Chief Bola Ige who was assasinated by hired assassine.
I got your contact through Nigeria Chamber of commerce and Industry hence I decided to write you.
Before the death of my father and the death of my mother, my father had notified us about the money $26.5m (Twenty-Six Million,Five Hundred United States Dollars) he deposited in Cotonou Repblic of Benin West Africa with one of the private security companies, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Nigeria . This money was deposited in a Garbanised box as personal valuables for a foreign partner to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company.
It is against this background that, my brother and I who are currently staying in Cotonou decided to transfer our late father,s money to a foreign country since the law of Cotonou (Benin Republic) prohibits refugees from opening any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zones of Cotonou Benin Republic.
I am now saddled with the responsibility of seeking for a genuine foreigner who can provide us with a reliable account where this money could be transferred into. All I seek for is an honest person, whom we can entrust with my future and that of my brother. I must also let you know that this transaction demands absolute confidentiality. If you accept to assist me and my brother, all we want from you is to help us with an account in your name, which will aid us in transferring the money into any account, you will nominate overseas.
This money we intend to use for investment and growth in your country. For your efforts we are prepared to give you 20% of the total funds or you can go into Partnership with us for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify us. We have also mapped out 5%
of this money for all kinds of expenses we might incur in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you the percentage proposed above.
If you are really capable and willing to assist us please contact my elder brother Mr. Adeyemi Oni Ige on this email address (adeyemioni@myway.com) who is currently staying in Nigeria/Cotonou boarder for security reasons.
Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible I am in need to leave this country soonest with my brother.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
Best Regards
Miss. Tina Ige
