Subject: Dear Sir/Madam
George Amons
Managing Director
Gulf Bank Nigeria Plc.
44, Broad Street, Lagos, Nigeria
Attn: Managing Director/CEO
CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL OF 25.3 MILLION U.S. DOLLARS
I am George Amons the managing director of Gulf Bank Of Nigeria Plc, the
banker to the late head of state of Nigeria who died on June 8th 1998 under
mysterious circumstance.
I got your contact through commercial department of your country's embassy
in my search for a reliable and trustworthily person to handle this top-secret
transaction. You must therefore keep this transaction a VERY TOP SECRET.
THE SOURCE OF THE FUND The late dictator General Sanni Abacha deposited
the sum of $825.3 million U.S. Dollars in his private account means which
I am the managing director, but with serious conferment in me that I would
never reveal this to anybody apart from his wife Mrs. Maryam Abacha, which
he go as an over invoice from the Ajaokuta Steel Mill the proposal largest
steel Mill in African continent.
The contract was awarded to a Russian firm, but after his mysterious death,the
new military government that emerged then set-up a commission of enquiries
into all contracts awarded by the late dictator, but could not complete
their mission due to the emergence of a democratic government headed by
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
who vowed to continue with the predecessor commitment by setting up commission
of enquiries to track down the account of the late dictator both in Nigeria
and overseas, through different ways by media and other means. In this cause
I have declared $800 million United states Dollars to the Federal Government
of Nigeria as the family have no knowledge of the total amount deposited
in my bank.
While I have transferred the balance of $25.3 million U.S. Dollars to a
subsidiary of Gulf Bank Plc. With the knowledge of three senior officers
of the bank. But we cannot lay claims to this found due to our position
in the bank. We therefore solicit your assistance in transferring this amount
to your private or company account, as this transaction is risk free with
our involvement. We thereby agreed to compensate you with 25% of the total
sum while 75% would be shared among us, the officials.
The said amount was transferred to SECURITY VAULT & FINANCE COMPANY IN ABROAD
through diplomatic immunities granted to banks in Nigeria and coded for
security reasons to avoid a re-occurrence of a past incident in London in
which 1.6 Billion Pounds Sterling belonging to the late dictator was siezed.
If you have any positive response toward my proposal, please contact me
without delay on the above e-mail address.
I look forward to your earliest response.
George Amons.
