Dear friend,
This mail may come to you as a surprise but I plead with you to patiently
read through it before making a decision whether to assist me or not.
I am Barrister Fidelis Oditah, solicitor at law. I am a friend and private
attorney to the family of the Bayelsa State Governor, Dieprieye
Alamieyesiegha who is now been held in London for possessing One
Million,eight hundred thousand Pounds mearnt for investment to support his
political ambition in the forth coming election come 2007. He is presently
facing charges in court for money laundering.
I have been contacted by some members of his family to contact any reliable
person who is capable of handling and keeping some large sum of money which
was hidden and kept in a Finance/security Company here.The family believes
that the government
are behind all these, to put a stop to his political ambition, so that they
would not have strong opposition from the south-south of Nigeria where they
have been maginalised for years and their resources which the nation
depends on (CRUDE OIL) duly maginalised.
It's against the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for any
civil servant or government official still serving to operate or keep any
foreign account.
Please if you wish to help and keep it a secret,please indicate your
interest,
so that more detailed informations will be sent to you. Before the
government who are behind
his arrest begins deeper investigation into the family's investment and
properties, please
act fast so that this money can be transferred or moved from here without
the government's notice.
I require your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. There is no risk at all as all
the paperwork for this transaction will be done by me and my position here
will guarantee you a successful execution of this transaction.lf you are
interested in giving the required assistance, kindly reply this mail stating
your Telephone/Fax numbers for further action.
Due to the secrecy surrounding this transaction,l suggest that you
contact me only via my private email:barrfidelisoditah@yahoo.com
Yours Trully,
Barr. Fidelis Oditah
