Halloh.
After much searching, I found out that you are a very honorable and trustworthy person and someone in whom I may confide and gain assistance in a matter that will prove to be enriching to both you and me.
I am former private secretary to Sanni Abacha. In my capacity, I was entrusted with financial management of many of the monies that President Abacha was forced to handle in his office as President. I was required to keep the track of where the monies were to be deposited, electronically, and make those deposits based upon the President's directions. For this work I was given a computer with abilty to manage and make cash transfers and deposits over the internet.
To perform my duties with high efficiency and professionalism, I established a special interest earning banking account and fund with the ExIm Bancorp. of Turks and Caicos.
There were many transactions that came to Abacha which were difficult to handle because the outgoing depositing informations were incomplete.
In normal course, such incompleted items would be matched up after a period of a few months and all deposits would be made.
However, in the final months of Abacha's presidency, there were some 250 millions in American dollars that were not transferred and deposited by me due to this incompleteness of informations and this balance remains in the ExIm Bancorp. account. With the difficulties of transition that was experienced when Abubakar took the office of President in 1998, I was unable to keep my position. Unfortunately, also, due to other differences, I was unable to explain or show to my successor the routines that needed to be finished with the monies in the ExIm Bancorp. account. I assumed that the account holders who expected the deposits would notify the Government in due time.
It is now 10 years since I left Government service and recently, I reestablished my access capability with the ExIm Bancorp. account I have discovered that the monies that had been deposited in the account when I was Abacha's Private Secretary have been untouched. Actually, with compounded interest, this amount on deposit has increased on average some 3% a year so that now there is over 325 million American dollars. The ExIm Bancorp. advises that I must do something very soon to liquidate this account as their banking laws require that short term interest earning accounts (such as this one) may not remain idle and earning interest for greater than 10 years. Technically, as Abacha left office in June of 1998, already, this account is in violation. However I have persuaded the Bank to keep this account open until the end of this year. I have assurances that this may be done legally and without penalty by the Bank.
Due to currency and financial restrictions, I am unable to transfer these monies to an account in Nigeria. Also, as I am now paralyzed from the waist down, it is difficult for me to travel very far. I am in need of your assistance, to establish a new account in Nigeria for this money. Technically, however, the amount of deposit must only be the original 250 million American dollars. The other 75 million dollars may be considered the fee for the financial handling of this transaction which I offer to share with you on a half for half basis.
If you agree to assist me in this effort, please send me your personal banking information for both your checking and savings accounts if you have more than one it would help to provide them all. I will order a transfer of these monies into those accounts you provide and then, of course, trust you to remit to the account I identify to you in Nigeria, the 250 million which must be reestablished inside my country.
I believe that you should find this proposal very fair and honorable and I hope that you will send me the information I ask as soon as possible but at the very latest, by 15 December of this year to avoid year ending banking holiday delays.
Your humble servant,
Nissam Ambachacha
(actually, that would be funny...)
