Attention:
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction;
this is virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top
secret.
I am the Executive Investigation Chairman Committee on Review of
Contracts Payments instituted by H.E. President Olusegun Obasanjo to
probe/review all contracts executed and payments made during the
regime of late General Sani Abacha. I have been mandated by my
colleagues on the Committee to seek your assistance in the transfer of
the sum of US$31.5Million.
As you may know, the late General Abacha and members of his government
embezzled billion of dollars through spurious contracts and payments
to foreigners between 1993-1998, and this is now the subject of probe
by my Committee. In the course of our review, we have discovered the
sum of US$31.5Million,which the former dictator could not transfer
from the
dedicated account of the Central Bank of Nigeria before his sudden
death on June 8, 1998. It is this amount that my colleagues and I have
decided to acquire for ourselves through your assistance. This
assistance becomes crucial because we cannot acquire the fund in our
names.
We have thus developed a, fool proof, legal and totally risk free
arrangement through which the fund can be transferred within a very
short time, if you follow strictly our instructions. The plan is to
use our position and influence on the Committee to present you as a
foreign contractor beneficiary of the fund. We shall arrange all
documentation to support this claim and get Approval for the transfer
of the funds for your benefit on our behalf. The arrangement is
perfected to be 100% risk free and we are sure the transaction can be
concluded within 7-10 working days from when you agree to assist us.
You should acknowledge the receipt of my mail through the above
Telephone and Fax numbers Or E-Mail address so we can further discuss
the modalities of your cooperation and negotiate the charge for your
kindly assistance. You were highly recommended and You definitely have
a lot to benefit from this transaction as we are prepared to give you
30% of the total funds as soon as you secure it in your Account.
Please, endeavour to give me your telephone/fax number(s)including a
bank details for the transfer of the above fund,through which we
can communicate with you in confidence (in your response) as the need
for strict confidentiality is of essence to this transaction.

We await your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully,
