From: MUHAMED BAMALI <muhamed_bamali1@yahoo.com>
Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2006 12:34:56 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: FROM MUHAMED BAMALI
Greeting,
This letter may come to you as a surprise but I really prayed to Allah to help me choose somebody that will be my true partner.
My name is Muhamed Bamali.I am the first son of late General Nuhu Bamali,Commanding 2 Division of the Nigerian Army, and also the former Aide-de Camp (ADC) to former military president Ibrahim Babangida,
. May be you know that my father died in the recent plane crash.
Two weeks before he died (May be he knows he will die), he called me and showed me a box containing US$5 million . He sent the box to a security company in Middle East for safe keeping with a false name.
He give me the certificate of deposit and the code number. With that I
can collect the box anytime I want. Now that my father is dead and I
need the money to take care of the family left behind of two wives
and six children.
I am now hiding as the government of Nigerian is desperately looking for me to assasinate and also the former assistance to my father wants to get me at all cost.Also, I have to be very careful of my movement hence my search for you to help me to get the box and keep it until I can escape and meet you and you will also help me to invest the money in your country or where it is good.
I will give provide you with all the power(necessary documents) to
collect the box on my behalf when you tell me in your reply that you
will help me and I can trust and count on you. I don't trust anybody in
Nigeria and with the certificate and the code which I will give you,
there should/will be no problem in collecting the box.
You don't have to worry,as this is 100% risk free to you as only me, my
dead father knows about this deal even the security company don't know this box to be money but as diamond.
But I want you to keep this secret as there are some enemies of my
father scattered all over the whole Nigeria who are friends to the
government of Nigeria. The name of the country where the box is in Middle East and how much I will give you for help shall be revealed upon your response to my mail.
In addition, i believe that this information will intrest you as
the true story of the death of my father late General Nuhu Bamali
