Dear Sir,
I am MAJ.GEN. LUKA YUSUF an army General and a senior citizen of Nigeria. Since my retirement few years ago,I have been making plans to invest my money in the area of real estate in your country. I have USD 14.7Million reserved for property purchases which I have taken time to deposit in a security company acting as my trustees abroad. I made this money by my position as THE SUPPLY AND PURCHASING DIRECTOR OF MILITARY EQUIPMENTS to the Nigerian army during my tenure in my service years . I have just been retired by the present civilian government, and have now decided to invest this money in real estate business. I will like to repose my
confidence in this viable project and seek to have your unreserved assistance in clearing of the fund($14.7.M) from the Security company towards the investment process. I am interested to buy any good property(LAND, COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, CONDO ETC) or any
property that will interest me. I will like you to give me details of this property urgently for my recommendation. I will send more details in this regard if you accept to assist me. Please respond to this urgently to enable us proceed,
Waiting to hear from you,
Gen. Luka Yusuf ( Nigeria Chief Of Army Staff)
