Subject: Urgent Assistance.
Dear Sincerely,
Please permit me to make your acquaintance in an informal manner. This is necessitated by my urgent need to reach a dependable and trustworthy foreign partner. This request may seem strange and unsolicited but I will crave your indulgence and pray that you view it seriously. I am Aruna Bello, the eldest son of the late Nigerian Head of State who died on the 8th of June 1998.If you are conversant with world news,you would understand better, I got your contacts through my personal research. Please I need your assistance to make this happen and please, do not undermine it because it will also be a source of upliftment to you also.You have absolutely nothing to loose in assisting us instead, you have so much to gain.
The then head of state General Sani Abacha, transferred the money through a Lebanese businessman, Chagoury and a Jewish business man tycoon, Mark Rissar to Bank accounts overseas, Instead, he used PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (PIN) and declared the contents as Bearer Bonds and Treasury Bills. Also the firm issued him with a certificate of deposit of the consignments notes, which I have these information in my custody now. You must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the recovery of various huge sums of money deposited by my late Father in different Banks and security firms abroad. Some of these banks and security firms willingly gave/divulge their banking secrets and disclosed to the present civilian administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, about my family's cash lodgement and monetary transactions with them. Please my dear, I repose great confidence in you and I hope you will not betray my confidence in you.
My late Father have secretly deposited the sum of $11,000,000.00 with a security firm at Madrid Spain whose name is withheld for now until we open communications.The money is contained in One (1) trunk metal box in raw cash with the Security company. I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your possession for safe keeping and for investment purpose. This arrangement is known to you and my family only. So I will deal directly with you. I am proposing a 20% share of the fund to you for your kind assistance. I shall provide for you all the documents of the fund deposit with the security firm, and raise a power of attorney to enable you claim and receive this fund into your possession. I have done a thorough home work and fine-tuned the best way to create you as the beneficiary to the funds and effect the release of the fund accordingly.
Be rest assured that the modalities I have resolved to finalize the entire project guarantees our safety and the successful completion of the project. So, you will be absolutely right when you say that this project is 100% risk free. Also this transaction demands absolute confidentiality.On no condition must you disclose it to anybody irrespective of your relation with the person. Remember, Loose lips sinks ship. I am looking forward to your urgent and positive response.
Best Regards,
Aruna Bello.
