Dear friend,
I wish to contact you regarding very important situation that is of great important to me. I am Anthony muyiwa Ige. The first son of late chief Bola Ige former minister for justice in Nigeria who was assassinated on 23rd Dec.2001 by agent of government. During his tenure as the minister for power and steel before he became minister of justice, he was involved in
debt buy -back at Ajeokuta steel complex where a large sums of money was realized. However, the government in power wasn't interested in depositing greater percentage of the fund into federation account.
This led to misunderstanding between my father and the authority. Though, at this point he had however, paid in substantial amount of the fund into the designated account before he realized government intention.When it became obvious that my father wasn't ready to release the remaining fund to government probably for them to share among themselves. They threatened him with all manner of blackmail. It was at this juncture that my father
through his contact and connection where able to find a security company and deposited this fund outside Nigeria through a diplomatic cover. We were informed about this few months before he was killed. It is our believe and finding that it was due to his refusal to release this fund that led to his untimely death.
Our fear that he was killed by government was prove right when the authority allowed the principal suspect in his murder Dr. Omisore to context senatorial election even when in detention. Well 5yrs after his death, it was the intention of the family to find a suitable foreign partner who will help us transfer this fund which has been with this security company for years. It was on this process we were when the unfortunate thing happened again. My mother also died. The inability of government to trace this money was due to the nature of deposit where conventional bank were not used rather, he settled for Security Company though more expensive but more secure. Information available to us
indicate that government having tried everything possible to compel us hand over the money which we denied having any knowledge of will likely drop all the charges against Omisore
Now since the death of my father, things have not been easy for us. We have now decided that 5yrs after his demise, it is time we take control of anything he had. We have immediately she died informed the security abou that. What the entire family agreed on was to source for a foreigner whose name would be sent to the sec. Company's head quarter in Ghana Indicating our intention to effect change on the name of the beneficiary of the fund
through our lawyer and subsequent payment of the fund into his account or nominated account. This idea was agreed on so that even if the government is still interested in knowing what happened to the fund, it will be difficult for them to trace it. The fund was deposited with the name; chief Bola Ige and the beneficiaries are my mother, my 2 siblings, with the power to include or exclude any beneficiary we may deem necessary in
future and myself.
This is the clause I want to explore in this transaction, which authorizes us to effect any change in the beneficiary. We equally agreed to compensate who ever helps in this transaction with twenty percent of the total money seventy percent for me and my family while ten percent will be used to settle any expenses incurred on both side. The amount that is involved is NINE MILLION DOLLARS.It is important that you are informed
about the need to maintain some level of secrecy to avoid raising unnecessary suspicion. We will not rush any of the process so that mistakes will not be made. My phone number and other relevant information would be made available to you pending the time you reply indicating your wiliness to help.
While responding, please endevour to send your phone\fax number as well other relevant data that will help in early comclusion this deal. I wish to assure you that any thing needed to be done locally to facilitate the smooth transfer of this fund has been taken care of. I wish to stop here hoping that my request will receive favorable consideration and with the impression that all you need to know about this transaction has been made available to you, but do not hesitate to enquire on any issue that you need explanation on. Looking forward to hearing from you
Yours sincerely,
Anthony M.Ige
