Dear friend,

Good day.I imagine how you will feel receiving a letter from aremote country in far away West Africa and probably from some one you have not related closely with.But all the same, I believe that we do not need to be of blood brothers before we can establish cordial and business relationship.And note that it takes only buta day for one to establish contact with someone else.Do not get worried over the sudden contact to you. You are in good hands.

I got your particulars and profil from the Internet and wished I concludeda lready commenced business with you.My name is Adebayo Jones, from Nigeria in West Africa.I served as personal assistant (PA) to the slain Justice Minister of the Federal Republic Nigeria. (Chief Basil Bola Igechi) My PA job with him dates back to when he was the Executive Governor in one of the states here. He was appointed minister in 1999 and posted to ministry of power and steel.

In March 2001 he was moved to Ministry of Justice where he served until his assassination in January 2002. Chief Igechi’s assassination resulted to indiscriminate arrest of his aides and some workers of both ministries where he served as minister. I was picked up and detained in the prison custody for two months, and during this period, Chief Igechi’s immediate family turned their back on me.

After police investigation, I was released on 29th April 2002 having found that I have no hands in Chief Igechi’s death. His assassination has to do with political tussle. The reason why I am going these details is for you to understand why I have decided to strike the business I am about to introduce to you now. Please read carefully to understand the transaction. Chief Igechi was privy to some high level deals that took place in the steel Industry. For instance the Ajaokuta steel complex by-pass scam and host of others. Also in the cue up were gratifications that were coming-in from left and the right.On December 13th 2001 Chief Igechi instructed me to negotiate for an on-line bank account through which he would transfer some amount of money to a bank in Switzerland and United States.

I moved into action and after the Christmas that year I informed him that I have succeeded with the arrangement in a neighbouring country (Ghana) On Sunday 30th December 2001 chief Igechi invited me to his village residence where he informed me that all was set for me to travel to Ghana for the opening of the on-line bank account. He also informed me that he would be delivering lecture in a seminar being organized by a human right Organization on 3rd January and suggested that both of us would leave Abuja (Capital territory) on 2nd January and that accommodation was already booked for both of us. In the morning of 3rd January he saw me off to Airport in company of his official security escort under the pretence that I was going to Ghana to represent him in another seminar.

In Ghana I was received by a senior Immigration Officer who Chief Igechi had already contacted before my arrival. In the evening of the same 3rd January I had a meeting with my contact in the bank and on 4th I opened the bank account on my name as instructed by my boss. And the sum total of $40.5M(FOURTYMILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARES. When the news of chief Igechi’s assassination came on air on February most Nigerians were shocked.

I felt for the wife and children and had the intention of informing her of such bank account but not quite one week after the assassination, I was picked up along with other personal Aids by the police. Also whisked away were some workers of the two ministries where Chief Igechi served as minister. Like I mentioned earlier that during my two months detention, neither Chief Igechi’s wife nor any of their children ever contacted my family to find out how the police was treating the matter. They simply abandoned me in detention now that I have been discharged, having been found innocent of my former boss’s assassination, I have therefore decided to convert the fund in that bank account as a compensatory fee for my illegal detention.

My purpose of contacting you therefore, is to solicit for your co-operation in transferring the money to overseas through your bank account. It is to my knowledge that I am being monitored by Chief Igechi’s family and as a matter of fact, I need to be extremely careful in order not to lose the money to them. The fund already, has been arranged for e-transfer before Chief Igechi’s death. I am aware that Chief ige did not tell anybody about this money, this transaction is a good package that will benefit both of us. It is therefore very important that you inform me in a return mail your acceptable percentage commission in order to provide the requested bank account. When this is done, we will then enter into an agreement.

Contact me urgently for further detail through my email.

Regards,

Mr.Adebayo jones.
