Dear friend,
My name is Barrister Harry.w.Orinnze, I am a private Attorney and I have a client who is interested in investing
some good money in your company. My client is a very important and prominent person who has mandated me to contact you or your company for a very important business transaction. My client is by name Mrs. Maryam Abacha and she is the wife of a late military
head of state in my country. Her husband Late General Sanni Abacha made a lot of money through oil proceeds during his tenure in office. Infact, it was discovered after his death that he was worth well over $4.5 billion united states dollars and some of this money was retrieved after he died while some was recovered from officials that served under him during his reign as president of Nigeria.
The truth of this case is that my client despite the problem she is going through now, she still has a lot of money in her possession. Which she intends to invest outside our country? What my client needs from you now is a reliable account where she can transfer some money but mind you, all the money in her possession can not leave at once because she needs to build confidence and trust in someone who would not expose her plan to remit and possibly invest in your company. So she has agreed that I should make arrangement for the transfer of $15.5million united states dollars and you are free to negotiate your mode of compensation even if she intends to invest the money in your country.
Please, do not hesitate to indicate your view of this request by contacting me immediately you receive this mail, so that the necessary arrangements can be made for the money to leave immediately. Due to the present situation of my client, I would be happy if this request can be kept a secret. I would also like to note that there is no risk involved. I hope my client would be happy investing with you. Please kindly send your reply through my personal
e-mail address:harry5070@hotmail.com
thanks.
Your faithfully.
Barrister Harry.w.Orinnze esq.
