Subject: OFFER/ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir,
I regret any initial embarrassment my letter might
cause you, as we have not had any correspondence before this time.
My name is JONES IGE, the eldest son of the slain Attorney
General and Chief Justice of Nigeria, Chief Bola Ige. I got your
contact in my search for a reliable and trustworthy partner who
i can do business with.
I am contacting you in view of the fact that we will
be of great assistance to each other.I currently have in my possession
the sum of sixty-five million US Dollars (US$65 million) cash which
l intend to specifically in your country although I do not know in which
area yet. This money came as a payback contract deal between my Late
Father and a Russian Firm for a contract executed in the Country's
multi-billion dollars Ministry of Justice Complex in Abuja. The Russian
Partners returned my father's share of USD$65,000,000.00 after his death
and it was lodged in my father's security company of where l am director at
the moment.
Now after my Dads burial on Friday 11th January 2002 and as the eldest son
of late attorney General, the president and commander in chief of the armed
forces in Nigeria (Chief Olusegun Obasanjo) has asked me to submit all
documents belonging to the Federal Government in my daddy's custody for
easy assessment and replacement of the Attorney General. In view of
this, l acted fast to withdraw the US$65,000,000.00 from the company's vault
and deposited it in another Security Company and marked it as film and film
materials. I have declared my father's Security Company bankrupt. There is no
record of this money traceable by the Government because no document exists
showing that we received the money from the Rusians.
Due to the current situation in the country, it has Become quite impossible
for me to make use of this money within.This informs my decision to
transfer the money out of the country for investment.
Please contact me as a matter of urgency to enableus discuss this transfer
in details.I propose a percentage of 30% of the total sum to you for the
expected service and Assistance, 5% for offsetting minor expenses incurred in the
course of this transaction. Please reply by above email.
Please do treat this as highly confidential while you
consider the proposal.
I look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship.
Best Regards,
JONES EZE IGE.
