Dear Friend
Incidentally, i am a renowed politician, and infact a prominet member of the
ruling political party here in NIGERIA .However am given you this
information in strict comfidence.Sometime in May 2003 last year the party
executives had a summit in Europe where the interest of top party executives
was considered and they were adequately rewarded in cash and i happen to be
one of the beneficiarie. For security and logistic reasons we the benefited
executives had to leave the entire fund for a period of atleast four months
before withdrawal and then we were given codes for indiviual accounts.
Infact that was my last trip to Europe before my ill health worsened and i
was strictly precluded from air trip and active business and politics.
Perhaps it will interest you also to know that before now i am one of the
leading importers of frozen food items in NIGERIA, my political career
notwithstanding,but just resently following the new government policy on
frozen food items in the country my business had not been florishing well,
hence my urgent need for diversification this is exactly where you come in
as a partner who will be ready to invest this fund into a profitable and
lucrative venture over there in Europe,Asia or America for the mutual
benefit of the partners.In this case you may not be expected to contribute
finacially except deemed neccesary in some cases because i have more than
enough in Europe to run any modern business. I thank God for everything
anyway.
To be more precise i have 8.2 million Usa dollars in Europe.Meanwhile,
because of my deterioriating ill health i will be introducing you to my son
who will be representing my interest at all time.Please be inform that you
might be traveling dawn to Europe for the final clearance , there and then
you will be meeting my son or daughter as the case maybe, who will be
accompanying you for the clearance and with who i will leave all enabling
document and code to the account.
As for the sharing ratio i will suggest that for every profit made out of
any business we shall share 60%,and 40% accordingly which i feel is
considrate enough for all your effort.
Please am expecting your business proposal for immediate considration .

Thanks,
Yours faithfully,
JOHNSON WEST
