Dear Sir,
As we all know, top government officials do loot funds out of the country with non-residence foreigners. These funds are discovered sums in some commercial banks belonging to some deceased foreign customers or from sum over invoiced sums emanated from sum contracts awarded over a period of time. When they attempt and fail, the world hears in the news as Nigeria fraud/scam, but when they succeed, nobody or newspapers writes it.
This trade is huge here and people are making lots of money out there in most foreign countries. From the President to the cleaner in the house, they are all into this trade. Go and read about the former Nigerian Head of State Late General Sani Abacha. Even the so-called present Head is still in it.
The point I am making is nothing more than asking you to handle a pure deal of USD$20,000,000.00 which will take approximately two weeks to conclude from here.
As a matter of introduction, my name is Mr. E. O. Ekwuonu, the personal accounting officer to Late Hon. Chuba Okadigbo, the former Nigeria Senate President. Herein after shall be referred to as my client.
During my client's tenure as Nigeria Senate President, he was in charge of Federal Government investments abroad from which he accrued so much money. And having a personal intention of investing abroad after his tenure, he secretly deposited the sum of US$20 Million(Twenty Million United States Dollars) with a Finance House in Madrid, Spain.
But unfortunately, he died on Thursday September 25, 2003 leaving this huge amount of money in the custody of the Finance House without claim from anybody. As the personal accounting officer, i was the only person he confided in and therefore the only person that knows about the existence of this funds as he was avoiding implications since he was in service then.
Now i am interested in a foreign investor with a sound business proposal who will assist me to claim this money for our mutual benefits, hence i personally appeal to you seriously for your urgent assistance to move this money into your bank account in your country where i believe it will be judiciously invested for the benefit of both of us.
I will secure every legal document in your name to backup your claim, all i require is your capability and honest cooperation. However, i would appreciate if you could keep this proposal secret even if you are not capable or do not want to assist me.
As i await your positive response, i would also want you to go through the below websites for more details:
