Subject: LETTER OF ENQUIRY
Hello dear,
I am Mr Samuel Njoku, Personal adviser on project implementation to the governor, Delta State of Nigeria.
Chief James Ibori.
A foreigner is required to assist the governor in keeping custody to some of his assets over sea for security reasons,
following the Federal constitution on assets declaration by every elected government official.
Due to the rules that govern the present elected officers in this present democratic government here in Nigeria,
we are strongly been monitored by the office of the Presidency over fund management. For this reasons the
government has asked every Governor and elected officials to declear their assets before the end of this
present tenure.
Following this reasons I have been instructed by the Governor (Chief James Ibori) to contract a foreigner privately as
a custodian to some of his assets abroad, while he is still in power. The reasons is because most of this assets where
aquired while in power.
Presently, the Governor has valuable assets deposited in a security company in Europe with his name, this includes
Precious stones exchanged with Crude oil last year and some money.
So, if you can assist us in keeping this assets under your custody, to avoid traces, you will be entitled to 20% of the
total value. We have our way of handling this, that is the more reason we have choosing to use a foreigner whose
information is not known here by anybody unlike other contractors or citizens of this country already known by the
security officials.
Having got your contact, I decided to enquire from you believing you will be interested in this
appointment.
Details of this shall be forwarded to you on request. Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours truly,
Samuel Njoku.
