Subject: RESPOND URGENTLY
From:Mr.Gabriel Wabara.
Dear Sir,
I know this will come to you as a surprise but never ind, I got your contact
in my search for a reputable and trust worthy person/Company,who can stand
confidently with me in this successful
business arrangement. Before I proceed,I will like to introduce my humble
self to you.
I am, the Auditor General of a Government Accredited Oil Company here in
Nigeria. Certainly, the prompting of this letter to you is anchored on my
strong desire to solicit your sincere understanding
and co-operation in this transaction that would certainly boost the
financial stand of both parties
involved when completed.
As a matter of fact, We want to transfer to your account
(US$52,000.000.00USD) Fifty two million United States Dollars) from the Oil
company's operating Bank account here in Africa, I want you to quietly work
with me in this transaction as a reliable and honest person who will be
capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a
new Bank A/C immediately to receive this money, even an empty account can
serve to receive this money,as long as you will remain honest to me till the
end of this important transaction,trusting in you and believing in God that
you will never let me down either now or in the near future.
In all honesty, during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating
fund of the above mentioned amount in account opened with the bank in 1990
and since then, nobody has operated on this account again,after going
through some old files in the records I discovered that the money in the
account was mapped out for the refurblishment of the Oil Company's
Machineries.
Meanwhile, Mr.Stanley brooks, the President of the Oil Company was the only
signatory to the account, but unfortunately he died after a brief illness in
1993.And no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning
it, and the account has no other beneficiary. And my
investigation proved to me that Mr.Stanley brooks, until his death had
wanted to siphoned that
money into his personal account in New York hence he did not disclose the
operating devises of the account to the Board of Trustees.
I am only contacting you in this regard, based on the fact that you are a
foreigner because,this money can only be approved to any foreigner who can
present all documents that will prove that he/she is the Next of
Kin/Beneficiary to the account base on the fact that Mr.Stanley brooks the
owner of this account is a foreigner, and the money can only be approved
into a foreign bank account.
Therefore, if you are capable of handling this transaction with me,lets make
the necessary arrangement for the hitch-free transfer of this money to any
safe bank account that you may nominate, on a share percentage bases.
However, we shall sign a binding agreement, to bind us together as partners
in this regard.I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will
never let me down in this business, you are the
first and the only person that I am contacting for this business, so please
reply urgently and
indicate your sincere interest, so that I can inform you on the modalities
already mapped out for the hitch-free transfer of the money out of Africa
here.
I will require your direct phone and fax number for easy contacting you I
need your full co-operation to make this work adequately. Upon your positive
response and once I am convinced that you are
capable and Willing to meet up with the instructions of the top bank
official that is deeply involved
with me in this business, I shall commence actions immediately to process
the payment of the money in your favor as the beneficiary.
With my influence and the documents in my pocession,I can change all the
documents to your name and then summit it to the bank and the money will be
transfered into any reliable foreign bank Account,which you can provide.
I am looking forward in anticipation to hearing from you soon as possible.
Yours truly,
Mr.Gabriel Wabara
