Attn: Sir,
RE: MONEY TRANSFER / INVESTMENT PROPOSAL
INTRODUCTION: l am Dr Aret Danga a Civil Servant in the Ministry of Health. l know this proposal will come
to you as a surprise because we have not met before either physically or through correspondence. I got your contact from our chamber of commerce here in Nigeria and have no doubt in your ability to handle
this proposal involving huge sum of money.
THE SUBJECT: My father Chief Danga(Now Late)
was the Royal Head of my community, ELEME (an oil rich
town) in Nigeria. My community produces 5.8% of the total crude oil production in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrel is paid to my father as royalty by the Federal Government. My father was also the Chairman of ELEME Special Oil Trust Fund. In his position as the Royal head and Chairman of the Oil Trust Fund, he made money which is as a result of
backlog of royalties Which accrued over the years of which I am now liable to as the only heir .The money is Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand
US Dollars($10.5m).
This Money originated from the accumulated royalties between 1976-1999 . Due to poor banking system in Nigeria
and political instability as a result of past Military rules (1985-1999) , it was our wish that the funds lodged at the
security arm of the Apex Bank of Nigeria will have to be moved abroad for investment.
And in the interim this funds will be made payable to the beneficiary as we will tender.
THE PROPOSAL: Just before my father died he called my attention to the money and charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist me in the transfer/investment
of the funds abroad as I am in the services of government and well known and therefore forbidden by law to handle
any business transaction or hold an account abroad. So l would be very grateful if you could accept to help
me achieve this great objective,as the one whose custody the funds will arrive on trust.
I promise to give you 20% of the total funds transferred to your vital account as compensation for your assistance.
Ten percent(10%)would be set aside to take care of all expenses We may incure during the transaction. To indicate your interest, contact me urgently and confidentially as I have told
you that I am in government and will not be seen to violate any of the rules they have laid down regarding people who are in their
employment list and again as a result of the bulk of money involved and once you are satisfied with this term you inform me immediately for more information and the roles you will play in this business. I want to assure you that once you agreed that the
transaction is 100% risk free and we will move ahead immediately to conclude it together and do also the necessary investment
together.
May the almighty God bless you.
Yours faithfully
Danga
