Dear Partner,
This letter might surprise you because, we have not met in person nor
by correspondence. But I believe it is one day that you get to know
somebody either in physical or through correspondence. I got your contact
through some discreet inquiry from the chamber of commerce and industry, you
were revealed as being quite astute in private interpreneurship, one have
no doubt in your ability to handle a financial business transaction.
However, i am MR: JIM LUEKEH the first son of his Royal Majesty [ CHIEF
MATTHEW DEDE LUEKEH ], the traditional ruler ofEleme province in the oil
area of Rivers-state Nigeria. I am making this contact to you in respect of
(US$ 28 Million United state dollar) which I inherited from my late Father,
this money was accumulated from Royalties paid to my father as compensation
by the oil firm located in our area as the result of oil presents on our
land which hampered Agriculture, which is our major source of livelihood. He
called my attention and inform me that he lodged some funds in a box with a
(Security Company Abroad) with an open beneficiary, the lodgement security
code number was also revealed to me, he then advised me to look for a
reliable business partner abroad, who will assist me in investing the money
in a lucrative business as a result of economic instability in Nigeria. So
this is the major reason why I am contacting you for us to move this money
from the security firm to any country of your choice for investment
purposes.So this is the major reason why I am contacting you for us to move
this money from the securities firm to any country of your choice for
investment purposes. Another vital factor is that due to my political
position,I am not supposed to go into business dealings and in order to beat
the code of conduct buareau I did not want anybody here to know that I
inherited such a big amount of money to avoid disqualification.
So I will like you to be the ultimate beneficiary, so that the fund can be
moved in your name and particulars to any country of your choice where it
will be claimed and invested. Hence my father had intimated the
securitiesfirm personnel that the beneficiary of the box is his foreign
partner which particulars will be forwarded to the firm when due. But I will
guide you accordingly. As soon as the fund reaches you, I will then come
over to meet you in person so that we can discuss physically on investments
potential for my family.
I hereby quarantte you that this money is not government money. It is not
drug money and it is not money from arms deals.Please kindly maintain a
high degree of confidentiality on this matter. I hereby agree to compensate
your sincere and candid effort in this regard with 20% of the total money
and annual 5% of the after tax returns on investment for the first three
years. Thereafter, the term shall be varied. 5% for expenses, which may
arise during the transaction, fax and phone bills inclusive.$28million US
Dollars. when the money ($28million) is moved into your discrete account,
you will be allowed to draw 20% your favor, while the remaining 75% will be
invested meaningfully for our future if possible in your area of business
and deterrents sectors of the Economy in your country which are dividends
yielding.
I will give you more details immediately I get your swift response.Whatever
your decision is please reach me immediately through my private Email,
