By virtue of my position in my bank, I have received dozens of /letters and fake certificate of deposits from various people one at one or the other claimed to have the legal backing to withdraw from an account with our bank. But due to the conflicts in their claims and documents myself and a colleague of mine in the computer department made some preliminary investigation in august 2003 and shockingly discover that indeed the sum of fifty seven million dollar ($57,000,000.00) was deposited in six separate lodgments with a company name (STRABAGGS NIG.LTD.). But our findings revealed that the said deposit belonged to the families of late Nigerian head of state Gen. sani abacha. And that the money was Embezzled and wired directly from the Citibank India via the Central Bank of Nigeria. As a duty to the Democratically elected Government and people of Nigeria, the Nigerian Government was contacted after a long thought by the management. Right now, we are at the middle of a v
ery important meeting on how the third and final face of the money will be remitted to the government and people of Nigeria. However, not all $57million was decleared. Myself and colleague in the accounts dept., withheld the sum of $9million($9,000000.00)
I am contacting with the hope that you will help us clear and secure the money before it is discovered. After the final face of the money has been sent to Nigeria, the banks auditor will have to go to work and if this money is not out of the bank legally, our effort will be a waste. That is why I need you to help.
We are prepared to share the money with you at a percentage so that we all are happy. If you want to help and you are capable of handling such large funds without drawing attention to your self, please reply through return mail, indicating your willingness to help and I will send you the more information regarding your role in this project.
However, if my proposal dose not Meet your moral ethics. Please feel free to disregard this massage.
Thank in anticipated co-operation
Mr. Ambrose A.Ubani
