Subject: Can you
Hello,
Please pardon my unofficial channel of this letter,however, I have
decided to contact you for an exclusive, urgent and rewarding joint
business. My name is Aketi Dotimi, I am Personal Assistant to the
embattled Governor of the oil rich Bayelsa State, Diepreye
Alamieyeseigha, who was arrested by the UK Metropolitan Police for
charges ofmoney laundry in London on September 5th, 2005, having found the sum of # 1.8m pounds sterling on him. The allegation can be viewed on this website http://nm.onlinenigeria.com/templates/?a=5296&z=12
Unfortunately I was with him when the incident happened, and he ordered
me to return back to Nigeria to see what efforts could be made to
secure his release and the possibility of him retaining his position as
the Executive Governor of the state.
In view of the recent development, I hereby seek your trust and
confident to enable me save my boss who stands to face a minimum of 15
years in London Prison if convicted. He (Governor D. P Alamieyeseigha)
has asked me to make some transfer of some amount of money amounting to $26 million dollars deposited with a private security firm. But the security scrutiny within and outside Nigeria for travelers from Bayelsa state has posed a big problem to this transaction.
I have made enquiries from professionals on matters as this, and they
suggested that I seek for a foreigner that will be willing to accept
this fund for investment in your country, since I can not travel for
now,hence I am asking for your assistance to have this money in your
care for a joint investment in your country pending when the Governor can come over to your country. His aim of doing this is to make sure that his wife and children will not suffer unduly after his conviction
and period in Prison; when the Nigerian Government would have
ceased all his assets,already the Federal Government has ordered the
Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to seize $17Billion
foreign assets belonging to some Governors.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee you that this will be executedunder a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
If you accept this offer we shall adequately compensated you with 30%
of the total deposit. Be rest assured that it is free from all risk.
Please advise me on your position by e-mail
immediately, indicating your phone and fax numbers.
Please I await your prompt reply
Aketi Dotimi
