ATTN: THE PRESIDENT / CEO
Dear Sir,
I know this letter will come to you as a surprise but suffice it to say
that I got your contact from the Nigerian Export Promostion Council who
assured me that you are capable and reliable to assist me in this transaction.
Before I go into details, I will first introduce myself to you. I am
Mr. Joseph Abudulkarim Adisa a son to Minister of Works and Housing of the
Federal of Nigeria.
Recently, my father was probed, guilty and sentenced to five (5) years
imprisonment by the Federal Government, President Olusegun Obasanjo for some
misappropriation while he was in office during the last Military regime of
Gen. Abudusalam Abubakar. Before his ordeal I successfully get hold of a sum
money in one of his duplexes. And since then I have being making arrangement
of how to transfer this money which is ($25,500,000.00) Twenty Five, Million
five hundred thousand United States dollars to a foreign account. Now, all
my fathers account is now under government claim except this one that I
contacted my friends uncle who was a Bank Manager to help me lodge the
said amount in a bank account in his bank and fortunately for me he agreed to
help me if only I can give him 10% of the whole amount. I agree with him on
this basis and he has since being making all necessary arrangement to remit
the amount to a foreign account which I will provide for him.
This is the reason I contacted you to please help me by providing an account
where I will deposit this money. I am soliciting you to please help me for
this is the only hope I have since my father have been jailed. I also have
intention of coming to your country to reside with you immediately after the
remittance of the money for my life is uncomfortable here anymore due to what
has happened, because the government go to an extent of throwing us out of our
house and locked up the house. Please help me I promise to give you 30% of
the total amount.
If you are interested in helping me please reach me through the above
Telephone/Fax number with the Bank Information where I will lodge the
money for this is what I urgently need now.
Once I get these details, I shall contact the Bank Manager who will smoothly
transfer this money into your account within 10 bank working days (He has done
the same deal for my cousin once) from the date I receive your reply. Remember
that I shall come over to your country to collect my own share WHICH I WILL INVEST
IN A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS based on your advice immediately the money is been transferred.
Your share for this transaction is 30% total sum, 5% for local and international
expenses (incurred by you and me). Note, there is no risk involved at all. Just
comply and keep this strictly confidential.
Best regards,
Mr. Joseph A. Adisa.
