From: SMITH TRAORE <sm003_traore@yahoo.co.uk>

Subject: WITH HIGH DEGREE OF HONESTY
Compliments of the season,
My name is Barrister Smith.Traore.. I am a private attorney . and I have a client who is interested in investing some good money in your country. My client is a very important and prominent person who has mandated me to contact you for a very important business transaction.
My client is by name Mrs. Maryam Abacha and she is the wife of a Late Military head of state in one of the richest african country. Her husband Late General Sanni Abacha made a lot of money through Oil proceeds during his tenure in office.
Infact it was discovered after his death that he was worth well over $4.5 billion in United State Dollars and some of this money was retrieve after he died while some was recovered from officials that served under him during his reign as president of Nigeria.
The truth of this case is that my client despite the problem she is going through now, she still has a lot of money in her possession, which she intends to invest outside her country.
What my client need from you now is reliable account where she can transfer some money but mind you, all the money in her possessions cannot leave at once because she need to build confidence and trust. In some who would not expose her plan to remit and possibly invest in your company . So she has agreed that I should make arrangements for the transfer of $60.5 million United States dollars and you are free to negotiate your mode of compensation even as she intends to invest the money in your country.
Please, do not hesitate to indicate your view of this request by contacting me immediately you receive this mail so that the necessary arrangements can be made for the money to leave immediately.
Due to the present situation of my client, I would be happy if this request can be kept a secret. I would also like to note that there is no risk involved. awaiting for your urgent reply .
Thank Best regards,
Barrister Smith.Traore
