I am DR KOFFIA JORNAH, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Banque Togolaise Pour le Commerce Et l'Industrie Lome-Togo in West Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction .

During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on November 1st 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this
development.

Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was (U.S $8.5M UNITED STATES DOLLARS), As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through my good friends who works with chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here in Lome- Togo. It is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem.

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.

This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.


I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to
take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account. and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages
previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.


I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.  


Yours faithfully,

DR KOFFIA JORNAH

Please be advised that Adelaide Institute operates an ethically sound enterprise.

May we suggest that you do not attempt to entice foreigners with money because your people need it more than any Europeans.

After all, the Europeans have been exploiting Africans for centuries. It is time you share your wealth - no doubt some remnant of a development loan from a European country - with your own people and do not transfer it out of
the country.

If you can't do that, then we suggest that you share this wealth with someone from a neighbouring country.

But please, please keep the money within Africa!

And, just in passing, it is not honest for anyone to claim they are next-of-kin when they are not. Such dishonesty is not good for a person's mind. Why not? Because money will only satisfy for a little while - but as indicated by your story, when a person dies, they cannot take it with them.

Money may get you power but not love. And another thing, we do not fall for the American trick of dealing!

Think on these things.

Sincerely


Dr Fredrick Toben
Director
Adelaide Institute

Dear Adelaide Institute,

Thanks for your ugrent respond to me and your advise. Honestly I appreciate the high level of your committment,sincerity and seriousness that you have demonstrated in this transaction. I promise you will not regret being positive and straight in your life.please this is the nature of the transaction in details:

My colleagues and I are still members of the bank panel that will be charged to investigate the whole process of this inheritance fund transfer. We are to prepare the proof of kinship right here in the bank
with the personal information that you will give us.

We do not want to have any hitch in this transaction as a result of delays and in the process put USD8.5m at stake. We have been in the banking profession for years and know what can make a
transaction of this kind to backfire. This will mean toying with our career which we don,t want.

*** You will send your application by fax to the bank which will be detailed in the text of the application that will be sent to you later.Please be sure that it is signed.

*** AS soon as your application is received, it will be processed and you will in turn receive your acknowledgement letter from the bank showing the receipt of your application.

*** The bank will stipulate in the acknowledgement letter the conditions
with which this fund shall be swift transferred to your designated account in your country or as the case may be.

*** As we have stated earlier in the introductory letter we sent to you
that you will have only 30% of USD8.5m after the transfer of this fund to your account, while we take 65%. As you know we have
5% set aside for this expenses which we shall take from this fund as soon as the transaction is over before the normal sharing as stated above.

Transfer charges will be deducted from the principal (USD8.5m) and to be paid by none of the participants ( owners of this transaction- You and us).

This point is very clear. Please take your time and decide if it is acceptable to you. Otherwise, we will not want to start at all.This will complicate issues if we should start processing everything in
your name for you to come up with a negative reaction later due to these conditions not well explained to you at this time.

Please I will still want us to continue as friends even if there is no
possibility for you to work with us in this regard.

*** Now I think everything is very clear. We are only interested in getting this transaction successfully concluded within 14 banking days. We know that 65% of USD8.5m is enough for us to live
confortably till we die and so is your own 30%.Greed kills.


My Word:This transaction is riskfree and will never involve any one along the line if only you are ready to follow our guidelines. Do not reply any letter to the bank without sending me a copy of such letter for a review to avoid mistakes that may effect this transaction.

All you need to do is to understand that the watchword is confidentiality and trust. Do not expose this to friends to protect this transaction from suffering a hitch anywhere along the line.
Everything is legal and will be legally done. There is nothing different
from the normal bank fund transfer proccedure .

The only difference is that we are going to change the particulars of the next of kin who is late and any person can stand for this claim. We are 100% sure because we have carried out series of investigations concerning this fund and discovered that except we move it out, it will be furfitted to the government as unclaimed bills. So do not be afraid.

All we need is your maximium cooperation and maturity to see that we finally smile together as one in few days from now. The text of the application will be send to you after your reply . Fill it up and send
it to the bank with your personal documents as instructed above as that is the first step.

And I have seen we can if God wishes.This is why I have to remove you from the state of vagueness to precision by giving you the confidential
information that is tabled below. This information should accompany your
application to the bank. The only difference is that you are going to replace the name of the late Mr. John Brandt with yours as the
apparent heir.

Dear sir,

This is important, and requires your immediate attention! Firstly, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction.

To intimate you further, we are top officials of the new civilian administration Committee on Foreign and Local Contract Payment, who are interested in the
importation of goods into our country with funds which are presently trapped in Nigeria. 

In order to actualize this dream, we seek your assistance to transfer the said-trapped fund into an interest bearing account which you have absolute control over in your country or a third country other than Nigeria.

The new civilian administration of General Olusegun Obasanjo (rtd) set-up this committee specifically to review all contracts/oil licenses to determine their propriety and relevance in the light of the country's current economic and political realities.
We have identified a lot of inflated contract fund which are currently floating in our Apex Bank. 

At this moment we have worked out modalities within ourselves and some acquaintances at the Apex Bank to divert the sum of US$40,000,000.00 (Forty million
United States Dollars only) for our personal use. However, by virtue of our positions as Civil Servants and members of the Contract Review Panel, we cannot acquire this money in our names, consequently, I was delegated by my colleagues as a matter of trust to look for an overseas partner into whose account we can
transfer this sum of money, hence this letter to you.

Furthermore, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total sum of US$40,000,000.00 (Forty million United  States Dollars) into your account for
disbursement. Your areas of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction and the account required for this project can either be PERSONAL, COMPANY or an OFFSHORE account you have total control over. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20% of this sum while 10% shall be set aside for incidental expenses between the parties in the course of this transaction.

You must however note here that this transaction is subject to the following terms and conditions: -
(a) Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence
(b) That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.
(c) That the funds would be transferred to an account where you  have absolute control over.
(d) That one of our representatives will be with you in your  country to represent our interest.
This however depends on your response to conditions A and C above.
Modalities have been worked out to the highest level for the immediate transfer of the funds within 14 working days subject to your satisfaction of the
above stated terms.

Our assurance is that your role is RISK FREE. To accord this transaction the legality it deserves and for mutual security of the funds, the whole approval procedures will be officially and legally processed with your name or the name of any company you may
nominate as the bonafide beneficiary.

Once more, I want you to understand that having put over 23 years in the civil service of my country, I am averse to having my image and career dented. This
matter should be treated with utmost secrecy and urgency.

Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include this transfer in this batch as payments to foreign contractors is usually carried out
on quarterly basis.
regards

BARRISTER SULEIMAN A.(SAN)

 

5 November 2002 

Dear Barrister Suleiman Abdulkerim

I thank you for your most interesting proposition. Having spent some time in Nigeria as a tertiary teacher, Minna, Niger State, during the 1980s, I recall meeting Dr Baba Nira, who even then advised me how easy it was to transfer money out of the country. He always claimed, as did some of my students that the only difference between Nigeria and the West is that the West finds itself at an advanced stage of corruption.

I think Dr Nira would be known to you because he worked at the Reserve Bank in Lagos, then later was transferred elsewhere. I have now lost contact with him. 

If you can confirm for me that Dr Nira, or his personal assistant, Dr Alhadji Bongo, still have the controlling influence within the monetary system in Nigeria, then your intentions make sense to me.

Of interest for me was the fact that the military federal government looked kindly on Dr Nira - and although quite shy of any publicity, he was sometimes seen at official functions. He had a lovely wife and four children, while Dr Bongo obtained a second wife, and I was privileged to be invited to the welcoming party as Wife Number Two arrived.  

Please advise.

Subject: Urgent

Dear Friend,
First I will like you to take your time to go over this mail
carefully and with patience. Please, this is a matter of urgency, this
is because I need your help and I need it very quickly too. At this
stage I will like to introduce my self. I am Dr. James Odez. I am 51 years old, a Nigerian.
Today I am formally retired as the personal accountant to the late
head of state of this country Late General. Sani Abacha. Since his
demise things have never been the same for us who served under his regime.
I cannot leave the country for now because the present government is
still investigating huge amounts of funds embezzled by the Late Head
of State and remains hostile to his family and properties. Shortly
before his death the General gave me a very huge amount of money to be
transfered to an off-shore Security company abroad and this I did
with the help of his eldest son. In any case the funds was successfully transfered and it is
currently in a safe deposit abroad. All the papers to legally claim
the funds is with my attorney for security porposes and the amount
involved in this transfer is US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million U.S.
Dollars).

The present government of my country has so far recovered most of
the funds transfered by the Late General but they do not and will not
have access to this one. This is because the funds is not in a bank
like the others already recovered but rather, in a security company
and all documents relating to it's existence completely unknown except
by me.

I have thought about this and I have decided to invest this funds
abroad, preferably in your beautiful country and later settle with my
familythere when all this is over. However, for now I sincerly want
your help in the area of investment opportunities in your country in
Research,Real estate and properties, computers and other things that
will bring real returns for m! y investment worth. Please, can you
help me by recieving the funds as the beneficiary?.

There is no risk involved as the funds is already
out of Nigeria. All you need is just the papers to put forward before
the Security company and the funds will be released to you promptly.
These papers I am ready to send to you as soon as I hear from you with
personal information about yourself. Please, be informed that you
will be compensated with US$2,000,000.00(Two Million U.S dollars) of
the funds upon collection if you agree to help me, and the rest we can
put into business.

I await your urgent response. I will fill you in with more
information when I have heard from you. Please do furnish me with your phone and fax numbers when responding.
You can reach me with this phone and fax:
MOBILE PHONE: 234-8037196627
FAX: 234-9-2726945
Thanks and God bless as I look forward to your favourable reply.
Yours sincerely,

James Odez
