ATTN: MANAGING DIRECTOR/CEO
REQUEST FOR URGENT/COFIDENTIAL RELATIONSHIP
Let me first apologize to you for the little
embarrassment this letter might cause you.
I am Dr Mustapha Abubarka, a cousin to the Vice
President of Nigeria and group Managing Director/
Chairman Executive of Apex Beam Oil Field &
Maintenance. I hereby inform you for a possible
money transfer transaction of $50,000,000 (Fifty
million)
dollars.
A friend, who was formally residing in your country,
gave me your contact address. He told me that you
are trustworthy as he lamented before me. Though he
did
not know my reason of contacting you. This assurance
gave me courage to link you up for this particular
transaction, and I hope it will be of mutual benefit
to all of us.
The above stated sum was recovered from our
ex-military men, who siphoned Nigerian funds and
deposited it in offshore accounts in Europe,
America, Asia, and some parts of Africa, for their own
potential benefits. This however, happened when we
were under the military regime. After the General
Sani Abacha regime, we now gained a democratically
elected government. The above sum was among the
recovered fund seized by the federal government of
Nigeria. Hence, my elder cousin, Alhaji Atiku
Abubaka the vice president of Nigeria, was in charge
of all the offshore accounts seized and retrieved
from our ex-military men. Therefore, we urged you to
assist us provide a very vital offshore account,
where the tune of $50,000,000 (fifty million) dollars
will
be transferred for safekeeping.
Please note that other information will be detailed
to you on the reception of your reply. My elder cousin
and I, have agreed to give the owner of this account
used for this transaction 30% of the total amount
remitted while, 70% is for me and my cousin Atiku,
for the purchase of foreign investments, with your
assistance after the money disbursement.
Note, I have been mandated to handle this deal with
you by my elder cousin, due to his position in the
Nigerian government as the second citizen. Sir, if
my proposal satisfies you, kindly contact me via my
above direct security tel/fax (or e-mail address
preferably). Your letter of acceptance indicating
your personal tel/fax & e-mail address to enable us
move
ahead. Besides, this deal is 100% risk free and hoped
to last for 7(seven) working days for my elder
cousin Atiku Abubarka is authorization.
We thank you for your expected co-operation. And God
bless you.
Best regards,
DR.MOHAMMED ABUBARKA
For: Group Managing Director./CEO
