Subject: Hello
DR JUEL OKEKE.
CHIEF AUDITOR OF CENTRAL
BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN).
25 TUNIBU AVEUNU,LAGOS LAGOS-NIGERIA.
Attn:Sir/madam,
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise since we don’t know
each
other before,but for purpose of introduction, I am Dr Juel Okeke,the Chief
auditor of CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN).
There is an account opened in this bank in 1996 and since 1999 nobody has
operated
on this account again.After going through some old files in the records,I
discovered
that if I do not remit this money out urgently it would be forfeited for
nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. Shaline Adam, a foreigner, and a miner at
Kruger
gold co., a geologist by profession; he died with his entire family in the
ill-fated
plane crash of October 1999. No other person knows about this account or any
thing
concerning it,the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation
proved to me
as well that his company does not know anything about this account and the
amount
involved is $23 Million dollars.you can view this fact from this website
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be
approved to a
local bank here or individual, but can only be approved to any foreign
account
because the money is in us dollars and the former owner of the account is
Mr.
Shaline Adam is a foreigner too.I know that this message will come to you as
asurprise as we don't know ourselves before. We will sign an agreement, but
be sure
that it is real and a genuine business. Please reply urgently so that I
will inform
you the next step to take immediately. Send also your private telephone and
fax
numbers including the full details of the account to be used for the
deposit.i want
us to sign a binding agreement to bind us together so that you can receive
this
money into a foreign account or any account of your choice where the fund
will be
safe. And I will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing and other
investments. I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner
with
foreign account and foreign beneficiary.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because the management
is ready
to approve this payment to any foreigner, who has correct information of
this
account which I will give to you later, if you are willing and capable to
handle
such amount in strict confidence and trust according to my instructions and
advice
for our mutual benefit because this opportunity will never come again in my
life.I
need a truthful person in this business because I don't want to make
mistake, I need
your strong assurance and trust. With my position now in the office,the
money can be
transfered to any foreigner's reliable account, which you can provide with
assurance
that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country
for
sharing. I will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive
this
money leaving no trace to any place. I will apply for annual leave to get
visa
immediately I hear from you that you are ready to act and receive this fund
in your
account I will use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and
onward
transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance forms of
the
ministries and foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 25% of the total
amount, 70%
will be for me, and while 5% will be for expenses that may be incurred
during the
process of transferring. I look forward to your earliest reply through my
