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 overinvoice 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 both 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 asubsidiary 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 , 70% would be shared among us, the officials while 5% IS MAPED
OUT FOR ANY EXPENSES. 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.
