My Friend, Please do not ignore my request or find it offensive because of
numerous scam emails you receive daily,I wish to use this medium to
communicate with you on a very private, sensitive and important issue. This
is very sensitive and private in the sense that it relates to my career as a
politician in my country.
I am Mallam Abubakar Danladi, a senator and a renowned politician in Nigeria
the most popular country of Africa.
In the forthcoming general election in my country in April 2007, I am
contesting for another political office as a senate president of the country
in the federal house of assembly. Last two years, I deposited some funds in
a bank vault abroad and now I want to use the funds for my political
campaigns and to lobby my way through the senate president seat in the
federal house of assembly.
As a measure of the federal government to curb corruption in other to insure
a free and fair election in April 2007, the economic and financial crime
commission under the federal government has put an embargo to stop all the
politicians in elected offices to involve in the movement of funds
internationally. For this reason, it has become difficult for me to have my
funds from the financial company abroad for my political campaigns.
Therefore, I want you to work with me as a brother and a closest confidant
so that you can claim the funds from the bank vault on my behalf and then
channel 80% of the funds to my country in the name of investment with your
name while keeping 20% of the funds to yourself for your assistance. All I
have to do is write to the bank abroad and present you as the sole
beneficiary of the deposited funds for them to transfer the funds to
you,thereafter, i will direct you on how to transfer the money to my country
in your name as an investor.
I could have left this message to be delivered through my secretary but due
to the sensitivity and confidential nature of the issue, I decided to get
this message across to you by myself. There is a lot for you to gain if you
can work with me in this, apart from the 20% and you will be exposed to many
investment opportunities here in the country if I resume office.
Please keep every communication close to your chest and never to involve any
third party.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you,
Mallam Abubakar Danladi.
