CBN ESTATE, TINUBU SQUARE LAGOS

Dear Friend,
I am deputy governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). I am responsible for
all wire remittance transaction at CBN.
I am canvassing for a businessman of international repute and worth dealing
with. Who by virtue of commitment and experience possess qualities that are
necessary to initiate and conclude a high-class business venture. Your
patience, resilience, confident and honesty must be admirable. It will be a
great privilege and pleasure to introduce you to this business from where
you will benefit immensely by virtue of my position.
I was approached by Mrs. Jumai Kwarzo, the wife of my friend Alhaji Ismaila
Kwarzo, the former chief security officer to our late Head of State, Gen.
Sani Abacha who is presently under house arrest in financial crime/looting
of government treasury. She informed me about some huge amount of money
amounting to sixty million united state dollars ($60,000,000.00) cash lodged
in a security company for safe keeping pending the release of her husband.
She said the money was part of what her husband made when he was the chief
security/financial adviser to our late Head of State. After her last
discussion with her husband Alhaji Kwarzo, she was instructed to contact me
to use my office to assist her look for a reliable/trustworthy person who
will provide an account and collect the cash, and also assist her look for
viable business investment opportunities.
For me, I find it pertinent to involve you because of the qualities I
believe you posses. I asked her the logistics of the transaction, and what
you are supposed to do. She said that you would be required to visit the
security company where this money is, to open a non-residential account
through which the money will be transferred to your overseas bank account
and that will also give you the opportunity to meet with her face to face to
discuss other formalities. She made me to understand that there is no
bureaucracy at all. She said the transaction is risk free and less
expensive. The only expenses she foresees are:
(1). The money you will use in opening an account.
(2) Your flight fare to where this money is.
I am writing this message to help out because of the woman’s condition.
Therefore, I will advice you to do this business and be handsomely rewarded.
She said as soon as you indicate your interest. Everything will be over
within seven (7) working days.
Please, endeavour to reply me immediately via my contacts above on receipt
of this message to enable me notify her if possible, I will hold a telephone
meeting between you and her to discuss the sharing modalities.
Regards,
Dr. Shamsudeen D. Usman
