Subject: Waiting to hear from you
Dear friend.
This letter may come as a surprise to you since we do not know each other
personally. However, I am compelled by my present predicament to seek your
assistance.
To start with, I am Dr Peter Odili, the Executive Governor of Rivers State
of Nigeria, one of the richest Oil Producing State in the country, In the
course of international Transactions; I had $15 .5 Million (fifteen million
five hundred thousand us dollars) lodged in my account in Europe.
Unfortunately, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo, Not quite long ago declared a full-scale war against
corruption.
His anti graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Has
shifted its search light to Europe, America and other countries, with the
mandate to discover foreign account owned by those in Governments as well as
other Paralstators.
A bill had been passed since 1979 prohibiting government offices holders
from operating foreign banks accounts. Because successive Government since
their have not taken issue of corruption seriously, that law had remained
dormant, but the presidency under Obasanjo has given it an added impetus.
With these new developments, I am in fix. I therefore seek your assistance.
All you have to do is to provide me with your personal or company's account
number to enable me write a letter to my bank in Europe odering them to
close my account and transfers this money into your account pending for my
2007 presidential election.
I will be brought to book if they discover this money in my name.
You may have heard the case of the Governor of Bayelsa State of Nigeria who
is currently being held by the London Police because he was caught with a
cash of One Million Pounds within London metropolis. His fate is still
dicey. He may likely face severe jail term.
I do not intend to run into the same predicament. Such discovery will bring
me to gross disrepute and rain my political career for life.
If the transfer is successful, you will be compensated with 15 % of the
total sum. I have been on this seat six years intending to run for 2007
Presidential election.i must jealously guard against anything that will kill
this bright political future.
I am counting on your co-operation, and looking forward to hearing from you
as soon as you read this letter.
Thanks
Dr. Peter Odili.
The Executive Governor of Rivers State Nigeria
