FROM: BARRISTER BENJAMIN OJO
OKEAYA INNEH LAW FIRM
LEGAL PRACTITIONERS.
NIGERIA
ATTN: THE PRESIDENT/CEO
COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON. GRACE AND PEACE AND LOVE FROM
THIS PART OF THE ATLANTIC TO YOU. I HOPE MY LETTER DOES
NOT CAUSE YOU TOO MUCH EMBARRASSMENT AS I WRITE TO YOU IN
GOOD FAITH. BASED ON THE CONTACT ADDRESS GIVEN TO ME BY
NIGERIA CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE. PLEASE EXCUSE MY INTRUSION
INTO YOUR PRIVATE LIFE.
I REPRESENT MOHAMMED ABACHA,SON OF THE
LATE GEN. SANI ABACHA, WHO WAS THE FORMER
MILITARY HEAD OF STATE IN NIGERIA. HE DIED IN 1998.
SINCE HIS DEATH, THE FAMILY HAS BEEN LOOSING A LOT OF
MONEY DUE TO VINDICTIVE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO ARE
BENT ON DEALING WITH THE FAMILY. BASED ON THIS THEREFORE
THE FAMILY HAS ASKED ME TO SEEK FOR A FOREIGN PARTNER
WHO CAN WORK WITH US AS TO MOVE OUT THE TOTAL SUM OF
US$75,000,000.00 ( SEVENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS ), PRESENTLY IN THEIR POSSESSION. THIS MONEY
WAS OF COURSE, ACQUIRED BY THE LATE PRESIDENT AND IS
NOW KEPT SECRETLY BY THE FAMILY. THE SWISS GOVERNMENT
HAS ALREADY FROZEN ALL THE ACCOUNTS OF THE FAMILY IN
SWITZERLAND, AND SOME OTHER COUNTRIES WOULD SOON FOLLOW
TO DO THE SAME. THIS BID BY SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
TO DEAL WITH THIS FAMILY HAS MADE IT NECESSARY THAT WE
SEEK YOUR ASSISITANCE IN RECEIVING THIS MONEY AND IN
INVESTING IT ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILY.
THIS MUST BE A JOINT VENTURE TRANSACTION AND WE MUST
ALL WORK TOGETHER. SINCE THIS MONEY IS STILL CASH,
EXTRA SECURITY MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO PROTECT IT
FROM THEFT OR SEIZURE, PENDING WHEN AGREEMENT IS
REACHED ON WHEN AND HOW TO MOVE IT INTO ANY OF YOUR
NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNTS. I HAVE PERSONALLY WORKED OUT
ALL MODALITIES FOR THE PEACEFUL CONCLUSION OF THIS
TRANSACTION. THE TRANSACTION DEFINITELY WOULD BE HANDLED
IN PHASES AND THE FIRST PHASE WILL INVOLVE THE MOVING
OF US$25,000,000.00( TWENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS ).
MY CLIENTS ARE WILLING TO GIVE YOU A REASONABLE
PERCENTAGE OF THIS MONEY AS SOON AS THE TRANSACTION IS
CONCLUDED. I WILL, HOWEVER, BASED ON THE GROUNDS THAT
YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH US AND ALSO ALL CONTENTIOUS
ISSUES DISCUSSED BEFORE THE COMMENCEMENT OF THIS
TRANSACTION. YOU MAY ALSO DISCUSS YOUR PERCENTAGE
BEFORE WE START TO WORK. AS SOON AS I HEAR FROM YOU,
I WILL GIVE YOU ALL NECESSARY DETAILS AS TO HOW WE
INTEND TO CARRY OUT THE WHOLE TRANSACTION. PLEASE, DO
NOT ENTERTAIN ANY FEARS,AS ALL NECESSARY MODALITIES
ARE IN PLACE, AND I ASSURE YOU OF ALL SUCCESS AND
SAFETY IN THIS TRANSACTION.
PLEASE, THIS TRANSACTION REQUIRES ABSOLUTE
CONFIDENTIALITY AND YOU WOULD BE EXPECTED TO TREAT IT
AS SUCH UNTIL THE FUNDS ARE MOVED OUT OF THIS COUNTRY.
PLEASE, YOU WILL ALSO IGNORE THIS LETTER AND RESPECT
OURTRUST IN YOU BY NOT EXPOSING THIS TRANSACTION, EVEN
IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED.
I LOOK FORWARDS TO WORKING WITH YOU.
THANK YOU.
TRULY YOURS
