Subject: HELLO,,,,,,,,,,,TRANSFER OF US$5MILLION INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
Dear Sir,
TRANSFER OF US$5MILLION INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
I am writing you following an oppurtunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us. my name is Mr.OLA OSHODI, In my department we discovered the sum of USD5Million(Five Million United States Dollars) deposited by the former governor of (BAYELSA STATE) D.S.P Alameisigha until he was impeached and arrested by the Federal Government.
He was arrested in London and charged for money laundering by the United Kingdom Government, his arrest was a political setup because in the political circle in Nigeria it is rumoured that he had acquired immense wealth from oil deals and that his financial status is worth $1.8 billion dollars, so he was made a scaped goat by the so called political godfathers. Stories about his travails can be read from these web sites
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4456300.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4478646.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4513172.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4462444.stm
Since we got the information about his arrest, The money was under a very high level coded arrangement deposited with Fidelity Bank Plc for safe keeping. As it is now, nobody knows about this money because if known it will be seized as all account belonging to the governor had been frozen.
My proposal to you is that I want to invest this fund as my own with you as my partner. Now, I want to set up Viable Business Ventures, which I hope you will advise me on. All Arrangement have been concluded with the Fidelity Bank Plc to transfer the funds into a foreign account after which i will travel down to meet the account owner for disbursement and to invest in any profit oriented business.
I am prepared to offer you 25% of the total sum if you assist me in receiving the funds on my behalf in trust for safe keeping, pending my arrival to meet with you in your country.
Please we need to act fast because all the modalities have been put in place awaiting an interested, honest individual to help me. If this is ok by you, get back to me with the following information below. 1. Your name in full 2. Residential address 3. Date of birth(Age) 4. Contact Telephone numbers for easy communication.
Please reply to this E-mail address:- olaoshodi@movemail.comThanking you in advance in anticipation of your willingness to help.
