Subject: FROM FELIX UDE TO YOU,
*FROM THE DESK OF FELIX UDE
UNION BANK INTERNATIONAL PLC
7/9 ADIOLA ODEKU
VICTORIA ISLAND
LAGOS , NIGERIA*
I am Felix Ude the account officer to the former governor of Rivers state
Dr. Peter Odili with Union Bank International Plc. My client Dr. Peter Odili
deposited the sum of Eighty Million United States Dollars ($80,000,000.00
USD) in his Fixed Deposit Account with Union Bank International Plc. during
his tenure as the governor of the rich oil state. This fund was realized
from his Oil and Gas dealings from his foreign counterparts. At present
moment, he cannot make claim of this fund due to the recent money laundry
scandal unless with a support of a foreigner (a non Nigeria), hence, he
instructed me to sources for a trustworthy foreigner who will help him make
the claim of this fund to his chosen account abroad,
thereafter he will join you for the onward disbursement and sharing.He
instructed that 40% of the above mentioned sum will be giving to you for
your support and assistance, while 10% will be giving to me for my active
participation, then the balance of 50% will be for him.
He would also want your advice on how to invest this fund in your country.
Please indicate your intention to assist us in your return e-mail with your
telephone and fax number for easy communication.
Look forward hearing from you.
Best regards,
Felix Ude.
