Subject: Hello, Urgent please
Hello
My name is Maxwell Ugochukwu Daniels, a Nigerian and I am also a Civil Servant in the Nigerian Civil Service Commission.
During the course of my service i was appointed to serve in the Mineral Resource and Allocation Commission and also as political facilitator for the president. General Abacha before his death has the ambition to succeed himself as the Civillian President of Nigeria. This ambition he intended to see through by lobbying the leaders and people of each of the geo-political zones in Nigeria. So he made avaible funds that he lodged into banks in each of this zones for his aim with each account in the name of any of his trusted allies.
The South - South zone of the country has 6,000,000.00USD mapped out for them and the account was opened with my name for the fact that i am from that zone he has decided to make me the co-ordinator of the zone and therefore will deposit the money in my name. The plan was that i should claim that a foreign investor has deposited the money so that i will use it to facilitate some oil business for the investor as i am the secretary of the Mineral Resource and Allocation Commission. The 6Million USDollars was deposited and when i was consulted by the bank for as was the Civil Service Policy, i told the bank that the money was deposited by an investor who wants to invest in the Energy sector of Nigerian economy through me. But before we could distrubute this money for what it was actually deposited for, General Sani Abacha died and the 6Million Dollars deposited in my name in the bank has remained idle and unperforming for the past 7years. I have been making plans with the man!
ager of
the bank who all these while to have the money but the hitch is that i cannot claim the money because of my status as a civil servant and the current anti corruption campaign embarked be the government will probe such huge sum belonging to a civil servant. And the banks policy states that any funds that stays unserviced and unperforming for 7years and that is not a TRUST FUND should either be serviced by the account holder or be reclaimed by the depositor, and that if none of these people lays claim to the funds, it should be rmitted into the Federal Treasury as reserve funds, i would have let the money go to the federal government but for te fact that my daughter is terminal ill with cancer for the past 4 years and she has been undergoing surgery every 6 months which has been dwindling our financies, right now i cant even afford the upcoming surgery which has been scheduled to hold in Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre Australia.
This is the 7th year and if by the end of the year there is still no body to claim the funds it reverts to federal reserve, so you can understand my desperation, i dont have much time which is why i am contacting you to please pose as the foreign investor who deposited the funds and i will back your claim, and since i am the only one who should know who my partner is there will be no suspicion, i also have all the neccessary documents that will be required by the bank and promise to provide them at and when due.
If you agree to assist me, i will propose that after the money has been remitted into you account, we will share it thus: I will take 70% and you will have 20% and 10% to any charity organization.
There is no passport needed, all i will require from is your full names and address, phone, fax and when the bank request an account for the funds to be remitted into.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Maxwell U. Daniels
