Subject: Happy meeting you/very urgent
Dear Sir,
My name is DR. MOHAMMED.T.USENI the eldest son of Rtd General JEREMAIAH. J.
T. USENI who was the est. while Minister of the Federal Capital territory
Abuja in the late General Sani Abacha’s Regime of 1993-1998.
I am contacting you in a benevolent spirit; utmost confidence and trust to
enable us provide a solution to a money transfer of $60M that is presently
putting my entire family into great disarray. You may be quite surprised at
my sudden contact to you but do not despair, I got your contact from a
business site on the internet and following the information I gathered about
you, I was convinced that you could be of assistance to me. So, decided to
contact you at once due to the urgency required for us to immediately
transfer the said funds out of the country.
During the time my father was in the government with the late General Sani
Abacha as the head of state,they were both involved in several deals that
yielded Billions of Dollars. The prominent amongst the deals was monies that
emanated from funds set aside for the importation of Arms and Ammunitions to
boost the Nigerian Defense, funds set to embark on an oversea campaign to
counter the United States action to put a stop to the self succession bid of
the Abacha’s government to retain power, and monies set aside to
rehabilitate the ailing Nigerian Petroleum Refineries and the National
Electric Power Authority which supplies Electricity to the entire nation. If
you are conversant with world news, you would understand better.
During this period my father was able to make some good money for himself
and kept in his private bank accounts. The then head of state General Sani
Abacha transferred his share of the money through a Lebanese businessman,
Chagoury and a Jewish businessman, Mark Rissar to bank accounts overseas.
Unfortunately, all the secrets were revealed by the investigation agencies
set up by the successive governments and most of the Abacha’s loots were
traced and repatriated from the various accounts to the Federal Government
Treasury.
Out of the money my father made, he left the sum of N50 Million (Fifty
Million Naira) in the CBN escrow account for further transfer into a foreign
account and a sum of $60M (Sixty Million Dollars) was kept in a Private
security firm here in Nigeria. Through the confessions made by the Abacha’s
Family, the N50 Million was recovered by the investigating agency from the
CBN escrow account. But were unable to discover the $60M, which he kept in
the vaults. The reason is because no names were used to lodge in the funds.
Instead, he used PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (PIN) and declared the
contents as Bearer Bonds and Treasury Bills. Also the firm issued him with a
certificate of deposit of the consignments. Note that I have these
information in my custody.
Right now, my father has been arrested and detained for interrogation. As
the eldest son of my Father, I believe that I owe the entire family an
obligation to ensure that the $60M is successfully transferred abroad for
investment purposes. With the present situation, I cannot do it all by
myself. It is based on this that I am making this contact with you. I have
done a thorough homework and fine-tuned the best way to create you as the
beneficiary to the funds and effect the transfer accordingly. Is rest
assured that the modalities I have resolved to finalize the entire project
guarantees our safety and the successful transfer of the funds. So, you will
be absolutely right when you say that this project is risk free and viable.
If you are capable and willing to assist,contact me at once via email for
more details. Believe me, there is no one else we can trust again.
All my fathers’ friends have deserted us after exploiting us on the pretence
of trying to help my
father. As it is said, “it is at the time of problems that you know your
true friends”. So long as you keep everything to yourself, we would
definitely have no problems. For your assistance, I am ready to give you as
much as 20% of the total funds after transfer and invest a reasonable
percentage into any viable business you may suggest.
Please, I need your assistance to make this happen and please; do not
undermine it because it will also be a source of up liftment to you also.
You have absolutely nothing to loose in assisting us instead, you have so
much to gain.
Awaiting your urgent and positive response.
BEST REGARDS,
DR.MOHAMMED.T. USENI.
PLEASE CONTACT ME ON NUMBER IMMEDIATELY YOU RECIEVE THIS LETTER.
