Hello,
I am priviledged to come in contact with your mail address and my reason for
writing to you is burn out of the fact that I have a Business deal in which
I would earnestly want you to be a part of this very deal. But before I
would fully introduce the Business to you,I want to give you my full profile
and also my present status.
My Names are, Mohammed Kupolokun, the Former Persoanl Assistant to the
Former Managing Director, Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) I am
presently living in Lagos, Victoria Island, Lagos.I am Married and have five
Children, two Boys and three Girls. They are all grown up individuals now.My
Wife is a Civil Servant, Working with Federal Ministry of Finance.
During my Civil Service Years,I used my position and Authority to accumulate
a Huge amount of Money,Forty two million United States Dollars($42m)and now
wish to transfer it outside the shores of my Country.Presently,this money is
lodged in a Secret Account with a commercial Bank in Lagos.Nobody has the
knowledge of this Account except me and the Bank manager who is managing the
Bank where the said fund is presently lodged.I have agreed to transfer this
money out using a Foreign Partner whom i would wish to use as the bonafide
owner of the money in question.
The reason for this decision to use a Foreigner is because of the fact that
as Former Civil Servants,the laws of the land do not allow us to operate
Foreign Bank Accounts hence the very idea to use a Foreigner as the owner of
the money.The Foreigner will play the part of providing His Bank Account
Particulars where this money will be transferred into,and after this,i
myself will travel out for the sharing of the money. I have also decided to
give the Foreign partner 40% of the total sum and 50% of the money is me
while the remaining balance of 10% is for all the expenses during the
transferring of the money which will be deducted immediately after the money
is successfuly transferred before we start sharing the money.
Finally,i have also decided mandatarily that all expenses incurred during
and after this transaction shall be shared between the Partner and me in
this deal.This is to say that the Foreign Partner will provide some
Financial Assistance but only when such Assistance is required and needed.
While the logistics and other material Documentations shall be provided by
myself.This is why I write to you.I waiting earnestly to hearing from you in
this regard.
