FROM: PRINCE OLUSOLA SARAKI
Sir,
This letter might surprise you because we have met
neither in person nor by correspondence. But I believe
it is one day that you get to know somebody either in
physical or through correspondence.
I got your contact through some discreet inquiry from
the chamber of commerce and industry, you and your
organization were revealed as being quite astute in
private entrepreneurship, one has no doubt in your
ability to handle a financial business transaction.
However, I am the son of His Royal Majesty, Iginawari
Solomon Olusola Saraki and the traditional ruler of
Eleme Province in the oil area of Rivers State of
Nigeria. I am making this contact to you in respect of
US 25,000,000.00 (Twenty Five Million Dollars), which I
inherited, from my late father.
This Sixty Five million United States money was
accumulated from royalties rapid to my father as
compensation by the oil firms located in our area as a
result of oil presence on our land, which hampers
agriculture, which is our major source of livelihood.
Unfortunately my father died from protracted diabetes.
But before his death he called my attention and
informed me that he lodged some funds on a two boxes
with a security firm with an open beneficiary status.
The lodgment Security Code Number was also revealed to
me, he then advised me to look for a reliable business
partner abroad, who will assist me in investing the
money in a lucrative business as a result of economic
instability in Nigeria. So this is the main reason
why I am contacting you for us to move this money from
the security firm to any country of your choice for
investment purposes.
So I will like you to be the ultimate beneficiary, so
that the funds can be moved in your name and
particulars to any country of your choice where it
will be claimed and invested. Hence my father had
intimated the security firm personnel that the
beneficiary of the Box is his foreign partner whose
particulars will be forwarded to the firm at when due.
But I will guide you accordingly. As soon as the fund
reaches, I will then come over to meet you in person,
so that we can discuss physically on Investment
potentials.
Based on this assistance I and my family have
unanimously decided to give you 25% of the total
money, 5% for charity homes and 5% for expenses, which
may arise during the transaction, fax and phone bills
inclusive.
The balance of 70% you will invest and manage for my
family. I hereby guarantee you that this is not
government money, it is not drug money and it is not
money from arms deal. Though you have to maintain high
degree of confidentiality on this matter. I will give
you all proof of deposit and existence of money once
assured and fully satisfied with your capability and
honesty. I hope this will be the beginning of a
prosperous relationship between my family and your
family. Nevertheless if you are for any reason not
interest, kindly inform me immediately so that I will
start looking for another contact.
I required also your private phone and fax numbers for
easy communication. I am waiting for your quick
response.
Thanks and GOD Bless you.
Regards,
PRINCE OLUSOLA SARAKI (FOR THE FAMILY).
