Hello Friend,
How are you today?
Hope this mail meets you in good health.
I am very sorry for getting in touch with you this way, but I believe this
is the only way I can get in contact with you.
Introduction of myself: My name is Mr. Abudu Hassan, and I am the personal
assistant to the Governor of Bayelsa State Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha
who was picked by special Economic Crimes Unit at Heathrow Airport on
Thursday 15th of September 2005, following the arrest, Scotland Yard
detectives had found a million pounds ($1.8 million dollars /
1.47 million euros) in cash in the governor's home in London., UK.
This money was extracted in a deal I and the Governor (Governor Diepreye
Alamieyeseigha ) did which his share of the deal was a million pounds, he
told me he was going down to UK to invest his own share there before he was
caught by the Economic Crimes Unit.
Right now, I am willing to transfer my own share which is also a million
pounds ($1.8 million dollars / 1.47 million euros) out of the country which
I do not want anybody to know about it, that's the reason, why I am
contacting you.
I am also willing to give you 25% out of the money if you can accept this
fund to be transferred into your account there in your country, but first
and foremost, I want you to be honest in this transaction, and kindly keep
it private and confidential at all times as I do not want my name to be
embarrassed.
I will come over with my family (myself, my wife, and my 3 children) for
life investment of the money in Real Estate business as soon the fund gets
into your account, hope that business is okay in your country?
If you know that you are willing to assist me in this deal, kindly provide
me with your contact phone number, also with your private email address
where I can reach you so that I can direct you to my lawyer who will then
handle all legal documents for the immediate transfer of the fund to you.
The fund is right here in a bank here in Lagos, Nigeria, and the name of the
bank is Zenith Bank Nigeria Plc, once I receive a positive response from
you, I will contact my lawyer to start the process of the transfer of the
fund to you.
Hope to hear from you soon with your positive response.
Thanks and God bless you.
Mr. Hassan Abudu.
