Subject: Hello From Shehu Idris
From: Dr. Shehu Idris
Dakar - Senegal
Dear Sir,
Though some of these propositions are generally regarded as scams, I am
however obliged to write to you hoping that you will understand my
genuine intention of seeking help from you. I am seeking for an honest man
or woman with integrity and a high sense of discreet operation in
turning a potentially lucrative financial transaction into reality.
>From the outset, it was our belief that our administration, that of
late General Sani Abacha will perpetuate itself in office for an
unforeseen time. But some that were in the inner circle thought otherwise,
amongst them were I. The late General himself was also apprehensive of a
short - lived tenure taking into cognizance that the administration was
pursuing a dangerous agenda that of silencing opponents. Because of this
reasoning, the late General embarked on stashing away funds for the
“RAINY DAYSâ€. In other to cover up the leads to these funds, we the
trusted allies were used as fronts to stash these funds away from any
eventual regime that may want to probe us.
Events have proved us right since the untimely demise of the late
General and the subsequent democratization of the Olusegun Obasanjo regime.
Many of the Late General's funds in foreign accounts have been
discovered. But these funds discovered so far are a tip of the iceberg or a
fraction of the overall amount in discreet account.
I was alarmed when recently the Government went on the heels of one of
the trusted member of the inner circle the ex-governor of Lagos State
(General Buba Marwa) on the more than US$2,000,000,000.00 (Two Billion
United States Dollars) of the late general's money in his possession.
This has served as a wake-up call for me to get things done before
anything happens. I am in possession of US$38,000,000.00 (Thirty Eight
Million United States Dollars) which is the fund that was put in my care by
the Late General. I operated in the West Africa region and presently the
fund is in the Bank of africa in the Senegalese
capital, Dakar. I am seeking your help in transferring this fund into a safe
haven where we will decide on what areas to invest in.
Your speedy response will be highly appreciated. I can be reached via
the internet on shehuidris06@excite.com
upon receipt of your reply, we
will then discuss the modalities to adopt in transferring this fund. Let
me assure you that you will be highly rewarded should we agree to work
together.
Regards
Dr. Shehu Idris
