REQUEST FOR AN URGENT ASSISTANCE:
I am Mr. George Ossai a former special adviser on petroleum and economic
matters to the late Head of State of Federal Republic of Nigeria General Sani
Abacha.Because of my strategic position in the former Government, and also being
a close confidant of the Head of State, I was able to acquire this fund
personally, the sum of $45,000,000.00USD (Fourty five million United States
Dollars) is presently lodged in Union bank of Nigeria.
I made this money legally through "CONSULTANCY FEE" and Good Faith
Fees"paid by foreign oil companies prior to Allocation of Deep Water Oil
Blocks and other Lifting/prospecting Right. Nigeria is the 6th largest
Producer/Exporter of Crude Petroleum in the World. As you are probably aware
Nigeria is prone to Political/Economic Instability, hyper Inflation, and
among other problems, I have therefore resolved to invest my money abroad,
preferable in Real Estate Properties and Importation of Goods for safety and
optimum returns on Investments.
However, straight transfer of this money into a bank abroad will present two
major problems:
1.The tax incidence will be too high, as much as 60% of this money will goup in Taxes, Levies, Penalties etc.
2, As an Ex seviceman in a former military government on which the present
democratic government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is fighting very hard to freeze
the accounts of the men that serve in the government of General Abacha.So as a
result of Government deliberate restrictions on flight of capital Abroad. The
solution is to Air
freight this money in cash abroad, the money will be packed in a Special
Diplomatic security Trunk Boxs taged Diplomatic lauggage and shall be Air
Frieghted to any of the security company off shore affliate office out side the
shore of this country.
This system is secret and the money will be therefore untraceable,It is
the system used by most top Government officials in Nigeria to remove their
fortunes to safety abroad.All need for now is a honest partner who can receive
the money on my behalf and help me to invest as aforementioned. There is
absolutely no risk involved in this transaction as the money will be delivered
in United States Dollars Bills.
If you are interested in assisting me, please send to me by email immediately
your preferred contact address and name which shall be used to
prepare documents needed for the shippment.I have already perfected modalities
and arrangements
with the security firm on the best way to successfully convey this funds as
consignments to their affliate terminal office in Europe,using the courtesy and
safety of Diplomatic security Trunk Boxs which shall be taged diplomatic cargo,
upon delivery from this point we shall arrange for onward transfer and
movement of the Fund to
your country lodge this money in a bank account,while we make necessary
arrangements for investment.For your help and assistance in this deal, you will
receive 30% of this money in cash, 10% will be set aside to offset all expenses
while the remaining 60% is for me. Finally, you are to please urgently email
your personal phone and fax numbers for an easy communication. You are also
required to email
your contact address to me, so that I can instruct the security company to
despatch the
consignment before we go into other necessary details on how we are to invest
the fund.

security
reasons.
Expecting to hear from you,
