HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Friend,
Good Day And Compliment of season. I am Dr.Dele Micheal, {a Civil servant in
the ministry of
Health} here in Nigeria. I know this letter would come to you as a surprise
because we have not met before either physically or through correspondence.
I got your contact
from our chamber of commerce here in Nigeria and have no doubt in your
ability to handle this proposal involving huge sums of money.
The Subject: My father chief MIchael Muhamade {Now late} was the Royal head
of my community, Eleme {an Oil rich town} in Nigeria. My community produce
5.8% of the total
annual Oil production in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrel
is paid to my father as royalty by the federal government. In his position
as the royal head and
chairman of the Eleme Oil trust fund, he made some money which he kept
behind for his children. The money is ten Million, Five Hundred thousand US
Dollars {$10 .5m}.
This money originated from the accumulated royalties between 1998. Due to
poor banking system in Nigeria and political/economic instability as a
result of past military
rules {1985-1999}, he deposited this money in a "Box" with an open
beneficiary in a security Vault in Accra, Ghana.In the name of a foreign
firm. He told the security Company
that the content of the box is Gold worth $10.5m. And the box will be
safeguarded until he finishes arrangement to transfer it abroad. He was
planning this when he died last
year of heart Attack. The Proposal: Just before my father died, he called
my
attention in confidence to the money and charged me to look for a foreigner
who would assist me in the transfer/investment of the fund. So I would be
very grateful if you could accept to help me achieve this great objective. I
promise to give you 25% of total fund
transferred as compensation for your assistant. Five percent {5%} will be
set aside to take care of all expenses we may incure during the transaction.
To indicate your interest, contact me urgently and confidentially for more
information and the roles you will play in the transaction.
I will like if you to add your phone/fax number on your reply for easy
contact.
God bless you.
Dele Micheal,
For the family.
