Good day,
I am sending you this private email to make a passionate appeal to you for
assistance. Kindly accept my apology for contacting you this way and forgive
me if this is not acceptable to you.
My Name is Fabian Okadigbo son of the late former Senate President (Dr Chuba
Okadigbo) who died on the 25th of September 2003 at the age of 61. I am 28
years old and the eldest son. Please we are seeking an honest foreign
partner to transact business with. We want to move out the sun of US$14.5
million which was deposited by my father before his death for the purpose of
the 2007 Presidential Election here in Nigeria.
Right now we have decided to invest this money in a viable sector outside
the country of Nigeria. This is because my father death was politically
motivated as he was seen as an obstacle to the ruling People Democratic
party (PDP) come 2007 presidential Election and was tactically assassinated.
When I saw your contact I had a strong feeling that by the grace of God, you
will help us to receive this money and invest part of it wisely for the
family. For obvious reasons, we do not wish to place this fund with
established financial institution in the family's name for security reason.
It is our desire that this transaction be handled as quietly as possible.
If you agree to receive this fund on behalf of my family and to help manage
part of the fund, we shall arrange for the release of this sum of US$14.5
Million to you. Upon a favourable response from you, I shall let you know
the complete details and how you will receive the fund.
Your commission shall be down payment of 15% of the total sum. And annual 5%
of the after tax returns on investment you are to manage for the first five
years. Thereafter, the terms shall be varied. We have also decided to set
side 5% to take care of Taxes and reimbursement of expenses made in the
cause of the transaction. After the receipt of the fund, I shall arrange to
meet with you for a face-to-face discussion.
If you are capable and willing to participate in this transaction, reach me
by e-mail hence, you are to furnish me with your direct phone number for
further briefings.
God bless as I await your response.
Best regards.
Fabian Okadigbo
