Subject: Awaiting your urgent and positive response.
Attn,
My name is Alhaji j Gana, the ex-managing director of the Bank of the North
Nig.Plc. I am contacting you in a benevolent spirit utmost confidence and
trust to enable us provide a solution to a money transfer of $18M that is
presentlty the last resort of my family. I have just been released from
detention on allegation of embezzelment which i did not do and has also been placed under survelience of which I can not travel out of the country for
now due o allegations levelled against me while in office as the Managing
director of the bank of the north Nig. Plc of which I am facing litigations right now.
Durig the time i was with the bank i made several loans to various oil firms
and in return i was given various sums as gratifications . If you are conversant
with world news, you would understand better.During this
period I was able to make some good money for myself and kept in a private
security finance accounts overseas as persopnal effects . Out of the money I
made, left the sum of US$18M(Eighteen Mllion United States Dollars) which was kept in a Private security firm outsde my country and I kept it in the
vaults of this firm as personal effects. The reason is because no names were used to lodge in the vaults containing the funds. Instead, i used PERSONAL
IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (PIN)and declared the contents as Bearer Bonds
andTreasury Bills. Also the firm issued me with a certificate of deposit of the vaults.
All friends have deserted me after exploiting me on the pretence of
trying to help my wife while i was in detention.I do not trust any of them
that is why I had to look for a foreigner. As it is said, it is at the time of
problems that you know your true friends. So long as you keep
everything to yourself,we would definitely have no problems. For your assistance, I am ready to give you as much as 15% of the total funds after confirmation in your possession and invest a reasonable percentage into any viable business you may suggest in your country. Please, I need your assistance to make this happen and please do not undermine it because it will also be a source of up liftment to you also. You have absolutely nothing to loose in assisting us instead,you have so much to gain. I will appreciate if you can contact me at once for details.
Awaiting your urgent and positive response.
Regards,
Alhaji j Gana
