Subject: I NEED YOU TO ASSIST ME
Dear Friend,
As a matter of urgency, I solicit your Attention, I also want to apologize
for this unsolicited E-mail to you at this time, But I would wish you go
through this mail so that you can understand my story, I know you must have
heard of this in various foreign media. My Name is Mr. Ken Alamieyeseigha,
the son of Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, the Governor of bayelsa state in
the oil rich Niger-Delta region of Nigeria, I know the news of my father's
travail Has reached the international media. I am 28 years old. My Father
was arrested in London on the 15th of September 2005, on allegation of money
laundering. We have also found out that the Presidency is behind this whole
thing, just to get him out of Government due to his disagreement on some
Government policies especially on the revenue sharing formula which was
raised in just concluded National Conference, which just ended some months
ago in Abuja the National Capital.
As a result this, so many things have gone wrong, All his private and family
properties, bank account are been confiscated and frizzed. Consequently, the
family is in deep pain. Meanwhile my Father called me from London after his
arrest by London Police, he informed me he has some money in a security
company here in Nigeria, he also instructed me to search for an honest
person abroad who can help us in the transfer of this fund which amount to
4.5 million US Dollars before the federal Government gets to find out as
they are desperatly searching for his properties and bank accounts. However,
I am discussing with the officials of the security company to fashion out
the best way of transferring this fund out of the country, and they have
assured me that if I can get anyone who will be willing and honest enough to
receive this fund while I join the person Immediately this is done, as they
have assured me that they will make sure the money is transffered
successfully.
am also leaving this country because I don't think I am safe here anymore,
as several attempts has been made to assassinate my Father which by the
grace of God failed before they resorted to this method of arresting him in
London, This is reason why I am contacting you to help us. I have also been
able to get these web pages for you to go through it, as that will help you
understand the situation.
