From: "OGORM OBI" <ogorm3@hotmail.com>
Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2005 08:27:01 +0000
Subject: Your urgent Assistance
ATTENTION:Sir/Madam
I am Dr.Ogor Muu a former special adviser on petroleum and economic matters
to the late Head of State Federal Republic of Nigeria General Sani Abacha.
Because of my strategic position in the former Government,and also being a
close confidant of the Head of State.I was able to acquire personally, the
sum of$20,000,000.00USD (twenty Million United States Dollars) presently
lodged in security company in Europe.
I made this money legally through "CONSULTANCY FEE" and Good Faith Fees"
paid by foreign oil companies prior to Allocation of Deep Water Oil Blocks
and other Lifting/prospecting Right.
Nigeria is the 6th largest Producer/Exporter of Crude Petroleum in the
World.As you are probably aware Nigeria is prone to Political/Economic
Instability,hyper Inflation, and among other problems,
I have therefore resolved to invest my money abroad, preferable in Real
Estate Properties and Importation of Goods for safety and optimum returns on
Investments.
However, straight transfer of this money into a bank abroad will present two
major problems:
1. The tax incidence will be too high, as much as 40% of this money will go
up in Taxes, Levies, Penalties etc.
2, As an Ex seviceman in a former military government on which the present
democratic government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is fighting very hard to
freeze the accounts of the men that served in the government of General,
Sani Abacha. So as a result of Government deliberate restrictions on flight
of capital Abroad.
The solution I had was to package the money in a Diplomatic IRONTRUNK BOXES
tagged family persoanl luggage.This system is secret and the money is
therefore untraceable. The system is used by most top Government officials
in Nigeria to remove their fortunes to safety abroad. All I now need is a
honest partner who can receive the money on my behalf and help me to invest
it as I have mentioned. There is absolutely no risk in volved in this
transaction as the money will be delivered to you in United States Dollars
Bills. If you are interested in assisting me, get back to me for more
detailed informations.
For your help and assistance in this transaction, you will receive 30% of
total sum of the money in cash, 10% will be set aside to offset all expenses
while the remaining 60% is for me. Finally, you should urgently email your
personal phone and fax numbers for an easier means communication. Expecting
to hear from you.You can get back to me with this email
adress=ogorm2@hotmail.com
Best regards,
Dr. Ogor Muu.
