--Dear friend
I am sorry for this unsolicited manner of approach, it is borne out of dire necessity
Permit me to introduce myself; I am barrister Bruce Alabi. Counsel to an undisclosed governor in Nigeria and personal assistant in charge of his offshore accounts. On the 15th September 2005 a fellow governor Gov. Chief Diepreye Alamieyesiegha of Bayelsa state, Nigeria was apprehended in the U.K pertaining to the untimely discovery of his foreign accounts in that country and was consequently detained for questioning and is seriously liable for impeachment from office and persecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on his return to the country (that is if he escapes a prison sentence in the U.K)
The main purpose of this approach is to save my boss from the embarrassment that may follow if his foreign accounts are discovered therefore he has appointed me to oversee the transfer of his funds safely out of your country to save him any embarrassment and subsequent disgrace and expulsion from office…hopefully with your assistance. The details of these transactions are highly confidential and must therefore be handled in utmost discretion, but I can assure you that arrangements have been made to make it impossible to trace or link any relationship between you and the Governor to this funds in any way as we also have our backs to cover and a reputation to protect we also have our contacts in the banks so this deal is considered 100% risk free, you will surely be adequately rewarded and compensated in form of a stipulated and agreed percentage from the transfers. I thank you in anticipation of your positive and favorable response
Yours faithfully
Bruce Alabi esq.
