Kindest Attention:

though this proposal may come as a surprise to you as we have not met in any way before.
I got your contact address through your country's business Guide and feel you will serve as a
reliable source to be used to achieve this aim, by entrusting under your care the total sum of
Thirty million US dollars (US$30M). This money I want to invest into any business of your
choice in your country was acquired through the Construction Of the newly completed Abuja
National Stadium which was used for the just concluded All African Games (COJA) Abuja 2003.
During the time the contract was to be awarded to a foreign contractor, I used my position and
office then as the Senate President to over invoice the contract with an additional Sum of USD.30M
to the main contract sum.
The Construction of the Stadium has been duly completed and commissioned the contractor has
been paid, and then this over invoiced amount (USD.30M) is what I want to entrust under your
care for lucrative investment of your choice in your country.

due to my Position in the Government such amount of money may attracts some suspicion which
may lead to my arrest, which is why I need your urgent assistance.
Please indicate your interest in the area of lucrative business viability in your country.
For working with me to actualize this transaction, I will give to you 30% of the total fund while 10%
will be used to settle every monetary expenses on the course of this transaction and the remaining
60% will be for me.
This proposal should be kept strictly confidential due to my person in the Government as the Former
senate President of Nigeria. Please indicate your interest by providing me with your private direct
phone and fax numbers. I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of this transaction.
Thanks and God bless you.
Senator Anyim Pius Anyim
