OKON MOMOH
Managing Director
Gulf Bank Plc
Attn:FRIEND,
CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL OF 25.3 MILLION U.S. DOLLARS
I am OKON MOMOH the managing director of Gulf Bank 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
usd$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 contact 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 contacts 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 tfxughboth in Nigeria and
overseas, through different ways by media and othermeans. In this
cause I have declared usd$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 usd $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
