Subject: hello
Dear Sir,
First I will like you to take your time to go over this mail carefully and
with patience. Please, this is a matter of urgency, this is because I need
your help and I need it very quickly too. At this stage I will like to
introduce myself. I am Dr. Dera Martins. I am 65 years old, a Nigerian.Today
I am formally retired as the personal accountant to the late head of state
of this country Late General Sani Abacha. Since his demise things have never
been the same for us who served under his regime. I cannot leave the country
for now because the present government is still investigating huge amounts
of funds embezzled by the Late Head of State and remains hostile to his
family and properties.
Shortly before his death the General gave me a very huge amount of money to
be transfered to an off-shore Security Company abroad and this I did with
the help of his eldest son who is presently being held in detention for
human rights violations. You can check the internet to confirm these
facts.In any case the funds was successfully transfered and it is currently
in a safe deposit abroad. All the papers to legally claim the funds is with
my attorney for security purposes and the amount involved in this transfer
is US$21,320,000.00 (Twenty One Million, Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand
U.S. Dollars). The present government of my country has so far recovered
most of the funds transfered by the Late General but they do not and will
not have access to this one. This is because the funds is not in a bank like
the others already recovered but rather, in a security company and all
documents relating to it's existence completely unknown except by me. I have
thought about this and I have decided to invest this funds abroad. You can
check this story out at the following webages:

<http://www.jubileeplus.org/worldnews/africa/court_uk_ahead_abacha_loot.htm>
However, for now I sincerly want your help in the area of investment
opportunities in your country in Research, Real estate and properties,
computers and other things that will bring real returns for my investment
worth. Please, can you help me by recieving the funds as the beneficiary?
There is no risk involved as the funds is already out of Nigeria. All you
need is just the papers to put forward before the Security Company and the
funds will be released to you promptly.
These papers I am ready to send to you as soon as I hear from you with
personal information about your self. Please, be informed that you will be
compensated with US$1,300,000.00 (One Million,Three Hundred Thousand U.S
dollars) of the funds upon collection if you agree to help me, and the rest
we can put into business.
I await your urgent response. I will furnish you with more information when
I have heard from you.
Thanks and God bless as I look forward to your favourable reply.
Yours sincerly,
Dr. Dera Martins
