Subject: Urgent nconfidential
Dear Friend,
I write this letter to you with all sense of responsibility, My
name is Mrs. Eno Akete. My husband was involved in the $180,000,000.00
( One Hundred and Eighty Million Dollar) kick back involving
Harlliburton,TSkJ
consortium of France over the contract award for the contruction of the
NIGERIAN LIQUIEDFIED NATURAL GAS PROJECT ( NLNG).
Investigation into this matter is before a HIGH COURT and the public
petition committee of the
House of Representatives. Right now my husband is in custody and he is
facing trial with other officials for their alleged role in the bribery
scandal.
The court has therefore given the prosecutors access to the suspects bank
accounts.As if he had a PREMONITION of what might befall him, my husband
used my name and particulars to deposit the sum of $18,500,000.00(Eighteen
Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), to a Security firm
outside our country and hide the documents where no prying eyes can lay
hands on it. I would wish to invest the money in estate business in your
country hoping that it is going to be a profitable one and also believe that
you would be of good assistance to me in other to actualize that
plan..Security agents have interrogated me about the money, ransacked our
house, looked into my bank accounts and they found nothing
incriminating, they have also siezed my travelling documents, making it
impossible for
me and my siblings to travel out. Please feel free to varify, if what i have
told you is true or not. You can log unto this website:www.thisdayonline.com
and read their publication on this matter
on January 13th 2005.Front page and continued on page six. This will help
you to understand the situation better. I have no option than to safe guard
our future with this fund. Prior to the situation, I am in dire need of your
assistance in helping me retrieve the $18.5m USD from the Security and
Deposit Company in Greece where the money was deposited in with my
name as its beneficiary.I hope that you understand that this transaction
requires high secrecy and confidentiality.
Be rest assured that there are no risks involved as they cannot trace this
fund any more.I am also promising to offer you 15% of the $18.5m USD for
your assistance to me in this
transaction and also Note that any expenses which might be incured during
the period of this transaction would be calculated and subtracted from the
total amount as soon as it is released to you on my behalf.
Please I will be very grateful to receive your urgent and good response.
Feel free to ask any
questions where you have doubts.
I put all my trust in you.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Eno Akete
