Subject: ATTANTION: THE DIRECTOR,
ATTANTION: THE DIRECTOR,
I am Dr.Tim Danjuma,I got your contact from
our local chamber of commerce here in Nigeria and
have no doubt in your ability to handle this
proposal involving huge sum of money.
My father CHIEF ETETE DANJUMA {Now late} was the
chairman of [PTF] petroleum special trust fund ,
Their aim is recovery of Governmant property
during GENERAL SANNI ABACHA'S MILITARY REGIME 1985 -1988,
In his position as the chairman of [ptf] ,
he made some money which he kept behind for his children.
The money is four hundred and twenty Million US Dollars {$420m}.
Due to poor banking system in Nigeria and political/economic
instability as a result of past military rules ,
he deposited this money in a security company in london with an open beneficiary In the name of a foreign firm. And he was arrangemening to invest it abroad before he died last year after a brief illness.
Just before my father died, he called my attention in confidence to the money and charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist me in
the transfer/investment of the fund abroad.
I have resolved with my mother to give you 30% of the total
fund transferred for your kind assistant.
Five percent {5%} will be set aside to take care of all
expenses we may incur during the transaction.
Awaiting for your ealiest responds.
Best Regards,
Dr.Tim Danjuma.
