Dear Friend,
My humble pleasure to write you this important letter, irrespective of

me.
In brief introduction I am Sule Ahmed a citizen of Nigeria, and
administrative Manager to Standard Security and Services Ltd in Lagos
Nigeria. I decided to contact you believing that by the grace of God,
you will accept to be my partner in this business. I joined the services of
this company in 1992 as office assistance. I have been working for this
company for years. Within this period, I have watched with meticulous
precision how African Head of State, Ministers and government functionaries
have being using Standard Security and Services Ltd to move huge sums of
money.
They bring in this consignment of money and secretly declare the contents as
family treasures. Their foreign partners, friends and relatives are claiming
most of these consignments. A lot of them are laying down here unclaimed for
years. Nobody may ever come for them because in most cases, the documents of
the deposit are never available to anybody except the depositors, where
most of them are dead.
Since the inception of 2001 millennium Standard Security and Services
Ltd change the procedure of claims of consignment. As soon as you are able
to produce Certificate of deposit and secret information as contained in the
secret file of any consignment, it will be released to you upon demand.
This is why I am soliciting for your co-operation and assistance. I have
finished every arrangement for you to come and claim consignment, No.1401
containing $15 million (FIFTEEN MILLION AMERICA STATES DOLLARS)
My duties are to supply you all the information and documents by faxor
e-mail and you will deal directly with the management. The procedure is
simple: you will apply officially to the Director of Operation of
Standard Security and Services Ltd. Releases of consignment No. 1401 they
will demand for Certificate of deposit and secret codes.
I will supply you with every detailed information and you will then fax or
mail it to them. As soon as they confirm it to be correct, they will invite
you for the collection.
If you do not want to come to Nigeria, you can arrange with them to
move the consignment to London on agreement where they have affiliate
company. That's why l needs your help. Nobody will ever know that I am
involved in the deal except the Lawyer, who will do the change of ownership
on your name with affidavit of claims and agreement for us. I will suggest
upon conclusion that we share 50-50.
At the successful conclusion of the deal, youll arrange for me and my
family to come over to your country. And think of more profitable
ventures we can invest the money with. I assure you that the business has
been hatched for four year now and it is very secure and risk free. You can

explanation and directive on the procedure.
