5TH FLR.11/20 IDOLUWO STR, IDUMOTA LAGOS
NIGERIA..W/AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
My name is Barrister Sajid Mohammadu (SAN), I am a Private Attorney and I
have a client who is interested in investing some good money in your
country. My client is a very important and prominent person who has mandated
me to contact you for a very important business transaction.
My client is by name Mrs. Maryam Abacha and she is the wife of a Late
Military Head of States in my country. Her husband Late General Sanni Abacha
made a lot of money through oil proceeds during his tenure in office.
infact, it was discovered after his death that he was worth well over
$500,000,000.00 Million United States Dollars and some of this money was
retrieved after he died while some was recovered from officials that served
under him during his reign as President of Nigeria. The truth of this case
is that my client despite the problem she is going through now, she still
has a lot of money in her possession, which she intends to invest outside
our country.
What my client needs from you now is a reliable account where she can
transfer some of the money but mind you, all the money in her possession
cannot leave at once because she needs to build confidence and trust in
someone who would not expose her plan to remit and possibly invest in your
company. So she has agreed that I should make arrangement for the transfer
of $2.5 Million United States Dollars and you are free to negotiate your
mode of compensation even as she intends to invest the money in your
country.
All I required from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this
transaction goes through, you shall reply me immediately to enable us
proceed.
On your reply send to me the following,
1. your full name and company name
2.Your home and office addrss where we can easily locate you.
3.Your bank information where this money can be transferred into.
4.Your picture or international passport for us to know you physically.
5.Your direct telephone number and fax number for easy communication.
Please, do not hesitate to indicate your view of this request by contacting
me immediately you receive this mail, so that the necessary arrangements can
be made for the money to leave immediately. Due to the present situation of
my client, I would be happy if this request can be kept a secret. I would
also like to note that there is no risk involved.
I await your immediate response.
Best regards,
Barr.Sajid Mohammadu (SAN).
