Attn: Managing Director
Dear Sir,
CONFIDENTIAL
My name is Farouk Bako. I am a Solicitor/Notary public, and very active in
the legal practice in Nigeria. I am also the in-law to the late president,
General Sani Abacha. Because of his involvement in governance in Nigeria,
the government of today is after the family. They have claimed all the
family's wealth and now General Abacha is dead, Mohammed is facing trial in
Nigeria for allegedly being involved in the torture and death of some
pro-democracy activists during the rule of his late father. I am making
this contact on behalf of my sister, Mrs. Miriam Abacha, not minding the
consequences, but hoping that you would understand our predicament, hence
the need for your urgent assistance and co-operation.
My aim of contacting you is to crave your indulgence to assist us in
securing some funds into your trusted bank account abroad for safekeeping.
This fund incidentally is part of the family wealth. Fortunately with my
immediate assistance, and contact, we were able to deposit the money in a
security vault pending when the whole situation will be calm. However, this
security company does not have any knowledge of the content of the deposit
because it is done in the guise that the trunk contains precious stones.
But owing the great risk we run presently, due to the new Democratic
governments initiative to freeze and recover all monies supposedly
misappropriated by the late President, we wish to relocate this fund in a
foreigner's name to avoid any trace. Now that we are in a democratic
government, this is our opportunity to remove the money, and we are willing
to offer you 15% of the funds after the transaction for your co-operation.
All I need from you is an assurance that you can handle the amount involved
comfortably and that I can also trust you with this very arrangement.
Be rest assured that there is no risk involved since I have taken care of
everything. I want you to immediately inform me of your willingness in
assisting and co-operating with us on our Tel/fax number, so that I can
send to you the full detail of this transaction and let us make arrangement
for a meeting and discuss at length on how to transfer this funds. Also
furnish me with your current e-mail address, Tel/fax numbers (private) for
a personal contact with you.
Finally, I am trusting on your full understanding of this, hoping that
there will be absolute confidentiality. I am awaiting with interest your
response and hoping to develop a good business relationship with you.
Yours sincerely
Farouk Bako
