ENUGU - NIGERIA.
Sir,
RE: TRANSFER OF $23MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS INTO YOUR ACCOUNT
It is with a heart full of hope, trust and confidence that I write to seek your
assistance in the transfer of the sum of $23M(Twenty Three Million United States
Dollars) only, into your account(s) pending the time I come over to your country
for the sharing and investment
My name is ENGR. Callis Ojukwu, the only son of Major General Philip Ojukwu, the
former General Officer Commanding 82 Division of the Nigeria Army here in Enugu.
The former Nigeria Military Head of State, General Sani Abacha who died in
active service on the 8th of June 1998 was lobying for a life president of my
counbtry and to make way for his ambition, he shared money to all the Garison
Commanders throughout the country to suppress any uprising/opposition from any
individual or group from any quarters under their commands.
Then, the present civilian presedent, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who incidentally
is a retired Army General as well and was aware of the disbursement of money to
my father and others, ordered for arrest and detention of my father and his
other fellow Garrison Commanders who received such money. I visited my father in
the prison custody and he told me about this money and where he kept it and
asked me as a matter of utmost urgency to move the money out of the country for
safe keeping as the Government has taken the serial numbers of the money. So,
there is no way the money could be spent in my country again.
Please, I would like your immediate assistance in the transfer of this money
into your account(s) or any account of your trusted friend so that this money
could still be our own. The money will be shared according to these
percentages:70% for me, 25% for you ,the account owner while 5% will be set
aside for any expenses we might incure in the course of the transfer. Be rest
assured that this project is 100% risk free and you are well protected
throughout the whole exercise.
Feel free to ask me any questions where you do not understand. I look forward to
your earliest reply
Best Regards
ENGR. Callis Ojukwu.
