Subject: URGENT ATTENTION
ATTENTION Sir/mandam
I am Dr.Chukwuma Emeka a former special adviser on petroleum and
economic matters to the late Head of State Federal Republic
of Nigeria General Sani Abacha. Because of my strategic position
in the former Government,and also being a close confidant of the
Head of State.
I was able to acquire personally, the sum of $10,000,000.00USD
(Ten Million United States Dollars) presently lodged in security
company Europe.
I made this money legally through "CONSULTANCY FEE" and GoodFaith
Fees"paid by foreign oil companies prior to Allocation of Deep Water Oil
Blocks and other Lifting/prospecting Right. Nigeria is the 6thlargest
Producer/Exporterof Crude Petroleum in the World.As you are probably aware
Nigeria is prone to Political/Economic Instability,hyper Inflation, and
among other problems,I have therefore resolved to invest my money abroad,
preferable in Real Estate Properties and Importation of Goods for safety and
optimum returns on Investments. However, straight transfer of this money
into a bank abroad will present two major problems:
1. The tax incidence will be too high, as much as 40% of this
money will go up in Taxes, Levies, Penalties etc.
2, As an Ex seviceman in a former military government on which the
presentdemocratic government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is fighting very
hard to freeze the accounts of the men that served in the government of
General,Sani Abacha.
So as a resultof Government deliberate restrictions on flight of
capital Abroad. The solution I had was to package the money in a Diplomatic
IRON TRUNK BOXES tagged family persoanl luggage.This system is secret and
the money is thereforeuntraceable.
The system is used by most top Government officials in Nigeria to
remove their fortunes to safety abroad.
All I now need is a honest partner who can receive the money on my
behalf and help me to invest it as aforementioned. There is absolutely no
risk involved in this transaction as the money will be delivered to you in
United States Dollars. If you are interested in assisting me, get back to me
for more detailed informations.
For your help and assistance in this transaction, you will receive 40%
oftotal sum of the money in cash, 10% will be set aside to offset all
expenses while the remaining 50% is for me.
Finally, you should urgently email your personal phone and fax numbers
for aneasier means communication. Expecting to hear from you.
Best regards,
Dr. Chukwuma Emeka.
