I came to know you in my private search for a reliable and reputable gentleman / business tycoon that could handle this urgent & confidential transaction for me which involves the movement and safe keeping of a chunk of large sum of money recovered from the former Nigerian military Dictator, General Sani Abacha (late). The second richest tyrant in the world after Sadamm of Iraq, As you must have heard several times on CNN & World Bank reports about Sanni Abacha of Nigeria over USD $8 billion has been traced to his many bank accounts in America, England, Germany, Lebanon, Singapore and Switzerland while more than US$2 billion American dollars in cash also recorvered in Abacha's several holiday homes around the globe.

My Uncle took ans I, this decision to sit on a fraction of this recorvered fund after we discovered that over 50% of the fund was squandered by Mr President irrelivantly by himself. Sir, I urgently solicit your assistance in receiving for safekeeping and investing this funds for us. Presently, it has been temporally deposited in a private security vault in Madrid - Spain as personal effect in disguise. But we can not leave it with the security company for too long to avoid suspicion from the authority. Indeed, are facing a great up-hill task in banking or investing this money due to the United Nations Financial Law on money laundering slammed on African government officials in year 2002 which does not permit any bank to recieve more than US$5,000.00 (five thousand American dollars) from any African goverment official without clearance from UNDMLB. To get this clearance will simply give us out hence this plea for your assistance. As soon as you confirm your interest, I will advice you on how to meet me up in Spain to receive and move this money installmentaly for onward investment in stock or bonds. I am assuring you of 100% risk free involvement as only me and my Uncle knows of this deal. Your share stays with you while you will invest the rest for me and my Uncle. If you agree to receive, secure and invest our respective share for us, we propose that, 1. 25% of the total sum will be your share (negotiable), 2. 5% will be set aside for incidental expenses that may be incurred like flight fares, hotel bill and taxes and PR (if any) 3. While 70% will be for Me and my Uncle.
