Compliment of the season.
I am very optimistic to introduce myself to you .My names are Engr.Gaius
Gbene Obasike,The past Group managing director Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC)hdqts abuja. My office occupy's the office of the
petroluem minister,because the present government could not approve minister

And also i would like to go directly to inform you that because of the
suspecions in the government i need your assistance to use your foreign
entity as my financier after you have made claim of Sixteen million seven
hundred American dollars($16.7m) i kept with a finance & security company in
Dubai(U A E) and safe quard the funds into your private bank account or
company's account before 2007 general election in Nigeria.
Also i will details you about how the funds was made available to me.As a
result of the breakdown of the Nigerian refinaries,my ministry under the oil
sector exported quite number of crude oils to foreign country for refining
which the petroleum products would be imported back to Nigeria for
consumption.It was during this transactions that i entered into a deal with
an oil company which i usually over estimated the quantities of the barell
of oils to make my own profits.Recently i was appointed as the presidential
candidate of our newly formed party The Movement For The Defence Of
Democracy(MDD)the party that is hope to put challenge and win the ruling
party of President Olusegun Obasanjo peoples Democratic party(PDP).
The present government had order for the closure of my Company due to the
fact that i opposed their dictatorship regime and their failure to
infrastructure developments in the country, including the recent causes of
plane crashes which implies poor administration in Nigeria.
Hence as we proceed in the transaction you will be informed as soon as the
Campaign ban is lifted, the way you will be repatriating the funds bit by
bit through the bank account that should be provided to you.
Note that the national assemblies, the law makers has enacted law that
prohibit government officials serving and non-serving of running foreign
account, which will result the closure of my account if discovered right
here in Nigeria.
Therefore,if you agreed to indicate your trustworthiness in this request you
will be given 30% of the total fund.If you are capable and interested about
my request,send your names,bank account,phone/fax for easy communication.
