Good day.

It is my pleasure to send this letter to you irrespective of the fact that you do not know me. However, I came across your email in my desperate search for a reliable and trust worthy individual that can handle a confidential business of this magnitude. I hope I can rely on you.

My name is Aliyu Dasuki, the son of Sambo Dasuki (born December 2, 1954) is a retired Nigerian Army Colonel and former National Security Adviser (NSA) to the President of Nigeria. You must know from the headlines all over the world that the new government of Nigeria, led by the President Mohammed Buhari ordered the arrest of my father on December 1, 2015. Since the arrest of my father, my family has suffered a lot of harassment from the present government. Recently my mum, I and other members of the family were banned from traveling overseas and our movements are currently monitored.

Although some money in both foreign and local currency were recovered from my father's private apartment, my mum with the help of an Austrian contractor (Mr. Thomas Mayer) whom my father helped during his time as NSA, were able to move some suitcases containing foreign currency totaling Twenty Four Million Three Hundred and Thirty Five Thousand Dollars to a Security Vault/Finance House in Asia for safety purpose. I therefore wish to solicit for your kind assistance towards traveling to Asia for the collection of this fund on our behalf. You will be duly compensated with 20% of the total sum for your kind assistance, 70% for my family and me while 10% would be used to upset any expenses that may come up in course of bringing this project to a successful end.

For some time now, we have been deliberating on how to invest this funds abroad in a confidential manner until my father's trials are over. The money in question Twenty Four Million Three Hundred and Thirty Five Thousand Dollars has already been deposited in a Security Vault/Finance House in Asia awaiting claims.

If the investment climate of your country is conducive please do not hesitate to contact/communicate your interest to me.

Regards

Yours truly.
Mr. Aliyu Dasuki.
