Quest To Invest In Real Estate Properties/Imports"
I am Mr Atan Usman Brown,I am a former special Adviser on Petroleum matters
to the late Head of State
Of Nigeria Gen. Sani Abacha. Because of my strategicPosition in the former
Government and also
being a Close confidant of the late Head of State.I was able to acquire
personally the sum of
$12,500,000.00 USD (Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars only) presently lodged In Security Company inform of Gold Bars in
a security company here in Nigeria. I did not want the management of the
Security Company to know the content of the consignments; therefore I registered
the content of the consignments as Gold Bars. Now, the security
company believes that what I deposited with them was Gold Bars.
I made this money largely through "CONSULTANCY FEE"And "Good Faith Fees"
paid by foreign Oil companies Prior to Allocation of Deep Water Oil Blocs
and other Lifting/prospecting Rights (Nigeria is the 6th largest Producer/Exporter
of Crude Petroleum in the World. As you are probably aware Nigeria is prone
to Military Coups and the resultant Political/Economic Instability has fueled
hyper Inflation, amongst other problems.I have therefore resolved to invest
my money abroad,
preferable in Real Estate Properties and Importation of Goods from your
country for safety and optimum returns on Investment.
However, straight transfer of this money into a bank abroad will present
two major problems one, the tax incidence will be too high, as much as 60%
of this money will go up in Taxes, Levies, Penalties etc. as a result of
Government deliberate restrictions on flight of capital Abroad. And also
been accused of money laundering.
and terrorism, The solution is to Courier this money cash abroad in form
of consignment, through Courier service Company here in Nigeria in Conjunction
with an embassy here in Nigeria, the money will be packed in a "Diplomatic
Bag/Carton" tagged Diplomatic luggage that will be address to you. This
system is secret and the money is therefore Untraceable. It is system used
by most top Government officials to remove their fortunes to safety abroad.
I have therefore concluded every arrangements with a Courier Company in
Nigeria to Courier this money abroad using the courtesy and safety of Diplomatic
Bag. All I now need is an honest partner who can receive the money on my
behalf and help me to invest as aforementioned. There is absolutely no risk
involved in this transaction as the money will be delivered to you in United
States Dollars Bills.
If you are interested in assisting me, please send to me by email immediately
your preferred contact address where this money will be delivered to you,
upon delivery, you are to lodge this money in a bank account and contact
me for necessary arrangements for the investment.For your help and assistance
in this deal, you will receive 15% of this money in cash or Equity if you
wish to join the proposed company. I have notified the Security Company
where I deposited the consignments that contained the fund, that I am moving
the consignment abroad and the security company has since been waiting for
my authority for the consignment to leave my country and move to abroad.
So if you know that you will use this fund honestly as I have instructed
then do urgently contact me back.
and the details will be given to you on how you will be able to receive
the fund in your country through the security company. You should also forward
to me your telephone and fax number for easy communicationand to fax you
the documents concerning the consignments.
Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Best regards.
Atan Usman Brown.
