Dear Friend

Good day and compliment of the seasons to you. My Name is MIKE AKU, the
son of Late Ishaya Mark Aku the former Minister of sport in Nigeria I am
27-Year-Old-Nigerian in possession of my Late dad's properties.

I lost him in a plane crash During his trip from a meeting he attended with
some other ministers in Abuja. Since his death, I have been in charge of
his business and properties and I have got no problem with that since I
have been doing that before his death.

I received a letter from one of his bank in Nigeria recently notifying me
of a paymment worth 47.5Million dollars made into his account by a computer
firm Named "IF Computer GmbH Cecinastr" 37D-82205 Gilching,Germany.

The money as I read is the Balance payment from a computer business he engaged
in with the Federal Government of Nigeria during the NIGHA 2002(NIGERIA/GHANA
NATION'S CUP CO-HOST). As a result of this notification I have written a
letter through my Lawyer to the bank to deposit the Money into a vault House
in Amsterdam -Holland, in which I have successfully carried out in the last
two month.

Since I am his next of kin ,it was so easy for me in doing this without
the knowledge of my family members .

I want to try as much as possible to transfer his money out of this Vault
House before my family members got to know about this.

I know that this issue is a very sensitive one and it should not be discuss
on the net. Why dont you send me your phone #and your Fax No. so that, I
will get in touch with you .

This deal is a risk free one and your gain shall be 30% of this money provided
you co-operate with me.

Remember not to tell anybody about this because my daddy happens to be very
popular person even after his death.

I will be very grateful if you can help me.
you can get back at me on my Private email :mikeaku@ParsiMail.com

MIKE AKU.
