Dear Sir,

I am DR Abel Mmadubiko, the personal Assistance to the late Nigerian Minister
of Justice and the Attorney General of the Federal ChiefBola Ige, who was
murdered on 23rd of December 2001 by unknown persons. Before he became
the minister of Justice and the Attorney General of the Federation, he was
once the Minister of Mines and Power.

of Nigeria gave to his ministry the sum of US$200 Million, which is to
be used for the completion of the Ajaokuta Steel Industry and the purchasing
of electrical transformers and able for the Nigerian Electric Power Authority
(NEPA).

Then this jobs and the supply of the transformers and cables were done,
but of low Quality standard and the transformers he imported were of low
quality standard and of low power capacity.

Because of the low quality standard of this jobs, the sum of US$22 Million
was realized of which he deposited US$15 Million to a security company
abroad and was looking for a reliable person or company whom he willtransact
business with before he meet his un-timely death on the 23rd of December,2001.


He informed the security company about his foreign partner who will be
coming to pick the money although no company's name was given to the security
company before he died it was only I and the late Chief Bola Ige knew about
the money.

Therefore, if you can be trusted in fairness to your honesty to safe keep
the money pending when I will be coming to meet you in your country,kindly
indicate by your reply.

Please, if you are not interested with this business, kindly inform me As
soon as you received this proposals. At the same time, if you are interested,
kindly send me as a matter of urgency: your company's information,your

This will be used to send to you the fund deposit certificate which you
will use to claim the money from the Security company.
