Attention:ceo
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction; this is
virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret.
I am the Executive Investigation Chairman Committee on Review of
Contracts Payments instituted by H.E. President Olusegun Obasanjo
to probe/review all contracts executed and payments made during the
regime of late General Sani Abacha. I have been mandated by my
colleagues on the Committee to seek your assistance in the transfer
of the sum of US$31.5Million.
As you may know, the late General Abacha and members of his
government embezzled billion of dollars through spurious contracts
and payments to foreigners between 1993-1998, and this is now the
subject of probe by my Committee. In the course of our review, we
have discovered the sum of US$31.5Million,which the former dictator
could not transfer from the dedicated account of the Central Bank of
Nigeria before his sudden death on June 8, 1998. It is this amount that
my colleagues and I have decided to acquire for ourselves through
your assistance. This assistance becomes crucial because we cannot
acquire the fund in our names.
We have thus developed a, fool proof, legal and totally risk free
arrangement through which the fund can be transferred within a very
short time, if you follow strictly our instructions. The plan is to use our
position and influence on the Committee to present you as a foreign
contractor beneficiary of the fund. We shall arrange all documentation
to support this claim and get Approval for the transfer of the funds for
your benefit on our behalf. The arrangement is perfected to be 100%
risk free and we are sure the transaction can be concluded within 7-10
working days from when you agree to assist us.
You should acknowledge the receipt of my mail through the above
Telephone and Fax numbers Or E-Mail address so we can further
discuss the modalities of your cooperation and negotiate the charge f
or your kindly assistance. You were highly recommended and You
definitely have a lot to benefit from this transaction as we are prepared
to give you 30% of the total funds as soon as you secure it in your
Account.
Please, endeavour to give me your telephone/fax number(s)including
a bank details for the transfer of the above fund,through which we
can communicate with you in confidence (in your response) as the
need for strict confidentiality is of essence to this transaction.
Please i want your reply from this email:<dr_mikechibuzor42@irangate.net>
We await your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully,
DR.MIKE CHIBUZOR.
