Subject: FROM PERSONAL LAWYER.
My Dear Friend,
I know this proposal may come to you as a surprise considering the fact that
we have not had any formal acquaintance before, but all the same I would
want you for the sake of God to give this an immediate attention in view of
the fact that the security of my Client and his possession is at stake.
My name is Barrister. FEMI RAYMOND. I am the personal Lawyer to Beyelsa
State Governor DIEPREYE ALAMIEYESEIGHA, who was arrested at Heathrow Airport
on his way from Germany where he had gone for medical check-up. Following
his arrest and search of his London home by two police team, One Million
Pounds sterling was found in his house. The Governor, whose travel documents
where seized by the police, was arraigned and granted bail by a magistrate
court couple of weeks ago but was immediately re-arrested by the police. The
Metropolitan police formally filed a One Million Eight Hundred Thousand
Pounds Sterling Three Court Criminal Change of Money Laundering and
Violating Criminal Justice Act.
A source close to the Governor and his Allies confirm the fresh search in
his house "Nobody knew what they took away" But they must have taken some
documents which they will use as fresh evidence against him. Again the
police discover two new houses belonging to the governor and it was also
gathered that One Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling was found in one of the
house.The Governor is to remain behind bar till when the case will come up
for hearing.
Back home, the current edition of the News Magazine circulating nationwide
published detailed facts of how the officials of the Bayelsa State
Government and their cronies have looted the states treasury with one of the
Governor's daughters, Mrs Preye Joy Ereboh (Nee Alamieyeseigha) allegedly
lodging N477,363,102.98 with Yenagoa Branch of Guaranty Trust Bank in just
three days. The Governor's cousin, Chief Abel Ebifemowei also allegedly used
his companies as fronts to stash hundreds of million of Naira and Dollars to
local and foreign banks.
The Governor and his family had been on the watch-list of the Federal
Goverment of Nigeria under President Olusango Obasenjo who set up committee
to probe the activities and companies of my client untill he was arrested in
London.
To avoid more discovery to his wealth, the Governor's wife came to my office
and directed me to quickly look for a trustworthy partner in whose account
US$49.5M (Fourty-Nine Million, Five Hundred Thousand United states Dollars)
with Global Finance Company in Nigeria will be transferred. This is very
important and urgent before the Committee set up by the Federal Government
of Nigeria swing into action. My Client intend investing this fund in
building of refinery in future and l hope you will be part of this dream
come through by assisting us with this fund transfer.
All I required is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through and my Client will be very happy to reward you with 25% from the
total sum as soon as this deal is over. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further.
Remain Blessed.
Yours sincerely,
Barrister Femi Raymond.
