Dear Sir/Madam,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Barrister Chief James Balogun,
former Legal Adviser to Nigeria Head of State, General Sanni Abacha. I have
a obscured business suggestion for you.
I honestly apologize and hope I do not cause you much embarrassment by contacting
you through this means for a transaction of this magnitude,but this is due
to confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium.
Before the death of my client General Sanni Abacha, made a numbered fixed
deposit for US24 Million with an accumulated interest of Five Hundred Thousand
United State Dollars only in a Commercial Bank in Nigeria. Upon maturity
several Notice was sent to me and again another another notification was
sent to act to claim this money.
After further investigation it was also discovered that did not declare
any beneficiary in his official papers including
the paper work of his Bank Deposit Certificate which is with me.
And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one
except me knew of his deposit in this bank. So, Twenty Four million Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one
will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according
to the to the laws of my country at the expiration 4 years the funds will
revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to
claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand as the Beneficiary so
that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall
come out successful. I have been contacted by the Family that
I would prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the beneficiary
of the money to Late General Sanni Abacha , all that is required from you
at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address,
your Bank information where this money will be transfered into so that I
can commence this job.
After you have been made the beneficiary, I will also fill in for claims
on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter as Beneficiary
in your favor for the move of the funds to your account that is provided
by you. There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt
a legalized method and I will prepare all the necessary documents.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this
issue.Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account.
we shall share in the ratio of 50% for me, 45% for you and 5% for general
expenses .
Should you be interested please send me your full names,
current residential address and Bank details and I will prefer you to reach
me on the email address below (barjamesbalogun@zipmail.com.br)
And finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Barrister Chief James Balogun
