Dear Sir, We are sending you this letter based on information gathered from the Foreign trade office of the Nigerian chamber of commerce and Industry. We believe you will be in the position to help us in our bid to secure this urgent and very important help from you.
My name is Bamaiyi Mark the eldest son of Rtd General Ishaya Bamaiyi who was the erstwhile Minister of Defence/Chief of army Staff in the late General Sani Abachas Regime of 1993-1998. I am contacting you in a benevolent spirit, utmost confidence and trust to enable us provide a solution to a money transfer of $46,100,000.00M that is presently putting my entire family into great disarray. I was convinced that you could be of assistance to me. So, decided to contact you at once due to the urgency required for us to immediately transfer the said funds out of the country. During the time my father was in the government with the late General Sani Abacha as the head of state, they were both involved in several deals that yielded Billions of Dollars. The prominent amongst the deals was monies that emanated from funds set aside for the importation of Arms and Ammunitions to boost the Nigerian Defence funds set to embark on an overseas campaign to counter the United States action to put a stop to the self-succession bid of The Abachas government to retain power, and monies set aside to rehabilitate the ailing Nigerian Petroleum Refineries and the National Electric Power Authority which supplies Electricity to the entire nation. If you were conversant with world news, you would understand better. During this period my father was able to make some good money for himself and kept in his private bank accounts. The then head of state General Sani Abacha transferred his share of the money through a Lebanese businessman, Chagoury and a Jewish businessman, Mark Rissar to bank accounts overseas. Unfortunately, all the secrets were revealed by the investigation agencies set up by the successive governments and most of the Abachas loots were traced and repatriated from the various accounts to the Federal Government Treasury. Out of the money my father made, he left the sum of N50 Million (Fifty Million Naira) in the CBN escrow account for further transfer into a foreign account and a sum of $46,100,000.00M (forty-six million, one hundred thousand united state dollar only) was kept in a Private security firm here in Nigeria. Through the confessions made by the Abachas Family, the N50 Million was recovered by the investigating agency from the CBN escrow account. But were unable to discover the $46,100,000.00M, which he kept in the vaults. The reason is because no names were used to lodge in the funds. Instead, he used PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (PIN) and declared the contents as Bearer Bonds and Treasury Bills. Also the firm issued him with a certificate of deposit of the consignments. Note that I have these information in my custody. Right now, my father has been arrested and detained for interrogation. As the eldest son of my Father, I believe that I owe the entire family an obligation to ensure that the $46,100,000.00M is successfully transferred abroad for investment purposes. With the present situation, I cannot do it all by myself. It is based on this that I am making this contact with you. I have done a thorough homework and fine-tuned the best way to create you as the beneficiary to the funds and affect the transfer accordingly, Is rest assured that the modalities I have resolved to finalize the entire project guarantees our safety and the successful transfer of the funds. So, you will be absolutely right when you say that this project is risk free and viable. If this proposal satisfies you and you are capable and willing to assist, contact me at once via email for more details. Believe me, there is no one else we can trust again. All my fathers friends have deserted us after exploiting us on the pretence of trying to help my father. As it is said, it is at the time of problems that you know your true friends. So long as you keep everything to our self, we would definitely have no problems. For your assistance, I am ready to give you as much as 20% of the total funds after transfer and invest a reasonable percentage into any viable business you may suggest. Please, I need your assistance to make this happen and please do not undermine it because it will also be a source of up liftment to you also. You have absolutely nothing to loose in assisting us instead, you have so much to gain. Awaiting your urgent and positive . Best Regards, Bamaiyi Mark.
