Subject: Business Proposal
Joseph Sankoh
Managing Director
Gulf Bank Nigeria Plc.
44, Broad Street,
Lagos, Nigeria
Attn: Sir/Madam
CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL OF 25.3 MILLION U.S. DOLLARS
I am Joseph Sankoh the managing director of Gulf Bank Of Nigeria Plc, the
banker to the late head of state of Nigeria who died on June 8th 1998 under
mysterious circumstance.
In my search for a reliable and trustworthily person to handle this
top-secret transaction I contacted you. 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 $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 contract 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 other
means.
In this cause I have declared $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 $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 seized.
If you have any positive response toward my proposal, please contact me as
soon as possible. May Allah help us
I look forward to your earliest response.
Joseph Sankoh.
