ATTN:
Sir,
I am ALHAJI ABUBAKAR WARI.a former special adviser on petroleum and economic
matters to the late Head of State Federal Republic of Nigeria General Sani
Abacha. Because of my strategic position in the former Government, and also
being a close confidant of the Head of State, I was able to acquire
personally, the sum of
$45,000,000.00USD (Forty Five Million United States Dollars) presently
lodged in UNION BANK PLC.
I made this money legally through "CONSULTANCY FEE" and Good Faith Fees"
paid by foreign oil companies prior to Allocation of Deep Water Oil Blocks
and other Lifting/prospecting Right. Nigeria is the 6th largest
Producer/Exporter of Crude Petroleum in the World. As you are probably aware
Nigeria is prone to Political/Economic Instability, hyper Inflation, and
among other problems, I have therefore resolved to invest my money abroad,
preferable in Real Estate Properties and Importation of Goods for safety and
optimum returns on Investments. However, straight transfer of this money
into a bank abroad will present two major problems:
{1} The tax incidence will be too high, as much as 40% of this money will go
up in Taxes, Levies, Penalties etc.
{2} As an Ex service man in a former military government on which the
present democratic government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is fighting very
hard to freeze the accounts of the men that served in the government of
General, Sani Abacha. So as a result of Government deliberate restrictions
on flight of capital abroad. The
Solution is to Courier this money in cash abroad, through Courier Service
Company here in Nigeria in conjunction with an embassy here in Nigeria, the
money will be packed in a
Diplomatic IRON TRUNK BOXES tagged Diplomatic luggage, which will be
addressed to you. This system is secret and the money is therefore
untraceable.
It is the system used by most top Government officials in Nigeria to remove
their fortunes to safety abroad. I have therefore concluded every
arrangement with a Courier Company in Nigeria to Courier this money abroad
using the courtesy and safety of a Diplomatic BOXES. All I now need is an
honest partner who can receive the money on my behalf and help me to invest
it as aforementioned.
There is absolutely no risk involved in this transaction as the money will
be delivered to
you in United States Dollars Bills. If you are interested in assisting me,
get back to me for more detailed information's. For your help and assistance
in this deal, you will receive 30% of this money in cash, 10% will be set
aside to offset all expenses while the remaining 60% is for me. Finally, you
are to please urgently email your personal phone and fax numbers for an
easier communication. Expecting to hear from you. Also you can reply me
through this email address: ab7ubakar@yahoo.co.in
Best regards,
ALHAJI ABUBAKAR WARI.
