There is an un-traced amount totaling $22.5m he deposited with our security firm in the name of his foreign associate.
After consulting with his Excellency we decided to seek a trust worthy individual that will stand as the” BENEFICIARY" so that the security firm can transfer the said funds as it was deposited in the name of his late business partner/close confidant (Mr. James Polla Leak) now late. Unfortunately Mr. James Polla Leak died of heart attack on the 12th of July 2006 in Nigeria.
We both concluded that you would retain the sum of US$6.750,000.00 (30%) for your assistance and then his wife will give me his Switzerland account information which I will forward to you for the transfer of the balance of US$15,750,000.00 to his Switzerland account.
On receipt of your positive reply with your contact information, I will detail you further.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kareem Adams
