Mr. Uche---Small world. I actually knew Mark Johnson years ago and boffed his wife on a couple of occasions. Therefore I am deeply grieved to learn of their demise.
As to the $7,753,000.00 to be paid to me, I prefer they be first used to purchase the new Brooklyn Bridge Transit Bonds. I currently own $18 million of these bonds and they have paid me 15% yearly interest since I purchased them nearly 3 years ago. These bonds are being used for the renovation of the Brooklyn Bridge and commencing in 2004, tolls will be charged for crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. This is why such a high rate of interest is being paid on these bonds which are backed up by the Brooklyn Bridge as collateral.
Please contact me about investing the $7,753,000.00 into the Brooklyn Bridge Transit Bonds. If you have any other capital available, I would suggest you invest that into these bonds as well.
I am looking forward to our joint ownership of the Brooklyn Bridge Transit Bonds. Thank You.---P.J.

Czech police have launched a major investigation after a senior diplomat was shot dead at the Nigerian embassy in the capital, Prague.
The dead man has been named as 50-year-old Michael Lekara Wayid, Nigeria's consul in the Czech Republic.
Polcie say they have arrested a 72-year-old Czech man.
According to unconfirmed reports, the man is suspected of opening fire because he was the victim of a financial swindle by a Nigerian group.
He is said to have been persuaded to give his bank details to someone posing as a senior Nigerian official.
In recent years, Nigerian-based organisations have been suspected of operating fraudulent schemes in several countries, promising large returns on financial transactions.
Seriously, it is a sad thing to see, because the crooks would not be emailing people if it didn't pay to do so, and it isn't the crafty and the clever that become victims. Maybe our government can tell the leaders of these nations that any foreign aid will be DECREASED by the amount of fraud perpetrated in their countries, and if they want to make up the difference to go after the con-artists instead. THAT would make the emails stop!

Dear ceo, I am Dr. Hassan Ahmad, former special adviser on Petroleum matters to the late Head of State of Government of Nigeria Gen. Sani Abacha. Because of my strategic position in the former Government and also being a close confidant of the late Head of State, I was able to acquire personally the sum of $50,000,000.00 USD( fifty million United States Dollars only) presently lodged in a Security Deposit in Europe. I made this money largely through "CONSULTANCY FEE" and Good Faith Fees" paid by foreign Oil companies prior to Allocation of Deep Water Oil Blocs and other Lifting/prospecting Right. Nigeria is the 6th largest Producer/Exporter of Crude Oil in the World. As you are probably aware of the fact that Nigeria is prone to Military coups and the resultant Political/Economic Instability has fueled hyper Inflation, amongst other problems. I have therefore resolved to invest my money abroad, preferable in Rea! l Estate Properties and Importation of Goods from your country for safety and optimum returns on Investment. However the, present civilian administration of president Olusegun Obasanjo has placed a restriction of movement on every member of the cabinet of the past military government. This is as a result of the Justice Oputa panel of inquiry slated to investigate most of the atrocities perpetrated by the late former head of state. This means that I cannot travel out now till the panel conclude its investigations which only God knows when that would be. Straight transfer of this money into a bank abroad will present two major problems one, the tax incidence will be too high, as much as 60% of this money will go up in Taxes, Levies, Penalties etc. as a result of Government deliberate restrictions on flight of capital Abroad. However arrangement have been put in place for you to receive this money from a trust worthy security Deposit Company in Europe. As soon as you indicate your interest. I will send to you the security Code number, certificate of deposit number and airway bill number of the Deposit that will serve as the onus of proof to enable you claim the Money, which is tagged, Diplomatic Luggage. All I now need is an 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 to you in United States Dollars Bills. If you are interested in assisting me, please send to me by email immediately your preferred contact address where you can be reached at any time, upon receipt of the money, you are to lodge this money in a bank account and contact me for ne! cessary arrangements for the investment of the funds. For your help and assistance in this deal, you will be entitled to 25% of this money in cash or Equity if you wish to join the proposed company. Finally you are to please urgently send to me through the required contact address that include your telephone and fax number). So that I can instruct the West side Deposit Company to go ahead with the transfer to you. Please contact me immediately Tel:234-1-7753384,Fax:234-1-7597102. so that I can give you further briefing.

URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
I am Alhaji Mohammed Abacha, the son of the late Nigerian Head of State who died on the 8th of June 1998 while in active services.
Following the sudden death of my father, General Sani Abacha, the present Civilian Government has thrown my family and I into a state of utter confusion, frustration, and hopelessness. I have been subjected to inhuman physical and physiological torture, incarceration by the security Agents in my country. I was only recently released from detention after been arraigned before the Federal High Court of Nigeria for an offence committed by my late father.
The incumbent civilian administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has intensified his probe into my late father’s activities while in the office and he has frozen all our local and foreign accounts together with other assets of my family as a retaliation for what my late father did to him when he was alive as the Head of the Military regime in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, we have been declared bankrupt and they are not relenting to make us poor for life.
As a man that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with anybody within my country as all those who benefited immensely during the regime of my late father have openly abandoned all my family.
MY REASONS FOR CONTACTING YOU.
I got your contacts through my personal research and out of desperation decided to reach you through this medium.
You must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the recovery of various huge sums of money deposited by my late father in different Banks and security firms abroad. Some of these banks and security firms willingly gave-up/divulge their banking secrets and disclosed to the present civilian administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, all my family’s cash lodgement and monetary transactions with them.
Please my dear, I repose great confidence in you and I hope you will not betray my confidence in you.
I have secretly deposited the sum of $20,000,000.00 with a security firm abroad whose name is withheld for now until we open communications. The money is contained in a metal box consignment with Security Deposit Number 009GM.
I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your Bank account for safekeeping. This arrangement is known to you and my junior brother (Abbas) only. So I will deal directly with you. I am proposing a 20% share of the fund to you for your kind assistance. I shall provide for you all the documents of the fund deposit with the security firm, and raise a power of attorney `to enable you claim and receive this fund into your bank account.
Also this transaction demands absolute confidentiality. On no condition must you disclose it to anybody irrespective of your relation with the person. Remember, Loose lips sinks ship
I am looking forward to your urgent and positive response via my email above. Alternative email ,afamily5@popmail.com
Best regards Alhaji Mohammed Abacha.
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK: FALOMO COMPLEX: IKOYI LAGOS:
GOODDAY,
I am Mr.Kahmal Hamed account Manager of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(ADB) Nigeria. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On December 29th 1997, an American oil consultant/contractor with the Government of BENIN Republic, Mr. John Norman made a numbered time (Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at US$35,800,30.00 (Thirty five Million eight hundred and thirty Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, that Mr. John Norman died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. John Norman did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$35,800,030.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it.
According to the laws of the country, at the expiration of 5 (five)years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim thefunds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. John Norman so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services of two attorneys for drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.A bank account in any part of the world, which you will provide, will then facilitate the transfer ofthis money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you while 10% will be set aside for miscellenous expenses.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address below. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent reply via email.zezani_mariam@yahoo.com
Thanks and regards.

Dear Sir,
First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. We shall be counting on your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of great magnitude involving a pending business transaction requiring maximum confidence.
We are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel who are interested in importation of goods into our country with funds which are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to commence this business we solicit your assistance to enable us RECIEVE the said trapped funds ABROAD.
The source of this fund is as follows : During the regime of our late head of state, Gen. Sani Abacha, the government officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over-invoiced in various Ministries. The NEW CIVILIAN Government set up a Contract Review Panel (C.R.P) and we have identified a lot of inflated contract funds which are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria (C.B.N). However, due to our position as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot acquire this money in our names. I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues of the panel to look for an Overseas partner INTO whose ACCOUNT the sum of US$31,000,000.00 (Thirty one Million United States Dollars) WILL BE PAID BY TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER. Hence we are writing you this letter.
We have agreed to share the money thus: 70% for us (the officials) 20% for the FOREIGN PARTNER (you) 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses. It is from this 70% that we wish to commence the importation business. Please note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope that the funds arrive your account in latest ten (10) banking days from the date of reciept of the following information by email: A suitable name and bank account into which the funds can be paid.
The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job description respectively. This way we will use your company's name to apply for payments and re-award the contract in your company name.
We are looking forward to doing business with you and solicit your confidentiality in this transaction. For security reasons and in order to move forward quickly, please respond to me via the above email address so I can bring You into the complete picture of this pending project.
The best response however, would be via telephone call which i will provide as soon as you indicate your willingness to commence.
Yours Faithfully,
CHIEF BEN OSAGIE.

THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
I am very much interested to enter into a mutual business relationship with you,after going through your profile yesterday.
I am Madam Rebecca Kabila, the second wife of the late President of Democratic Republic of Congo, Laurent Desire Kabila who was assassinated on January 16th 2001 by one of his security aides. I am under severe pressure from this present military government headed by the first son of my late Husband, General Joseph Kabila who felt victimized due to the incessant family problems between his biological mother and I.
He has seized all the deposited funds registered under my care by my Late husband, through the help of his friend who is the Governor of Central Bank of Congo. However, I have USD$30.1m (Thirty Million,One hundred thousand United States Dollars} currently in a coded security company vault overseas, which I now intend to use to establish a profitable business venture abroad to enable me and my family start life all over again.
As a result, I am urgently in need of a very reliable investor participant who is not known as my associate, that I could entrust with the PIN !!> and Certificate of Deposit to help me remove the fund since no name were used in securing the vault. I cannot successfully claim it myself as the government searchlight is still on my immediate family, hence I crave your assistance.You will in addition bank and assist me in investing (with my lawyers approval on project) as a front until the situation becomes more favorable for us to now meet and discuss the way forward.
Finally, more details on the logistic and modalities of the transaction will be given to you on my receiving your acceptance letter. I do not need to remind you of the absolute secrecy and confidentiality that this transaction demands.
Best Regards,
Madam R. Kabila.

However, I am making this contact to you based on trust and confidence irrespective of the fact that we have not met before and because of the nature of the business I am about to introduce, I want to remain positive having the faith and the will and convincing myself that you will be capable to do business with me. As a matter of introduction, I am the Financial Director/ Chief Accountant of INEC, meaning, Independent National Electoral Commission. This organization INEC is in charge of conducting Elections in my country Nigeria.
Consequently, during the last election held in my country in 1999, about US$ 1 billion was allocated to this office by the past Military Government that handed over power to the Civilian Administration that is governing the political Sorvergn of Federal Republic of Nigeria as at now. The office of the Auditor General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has audited my agency, INEC this January 2002 in respect of the Primary elections that will be taking place this year while the Governor ship and Presidential election will take place next year, 2003 On disbursing of the US$1 billion for Election purposes, about US$800 million was utilized in conducting all the elections while US$200 million was left as balance out of the US$1 billion given to my agency INEC. During this auditing this January, it was left for my office to give account of all expenses utilized in conducting the elections and while doing this accountability with the auditor General Of the Federation, I and my two other partners secretly removed the sum of US$15.5 million from the INEC Treasury account and included it as part of money used during the last election. Our intention is to transfer the funds out of the country to any reliable foreign account Pending when we shall come over to that your country and collect our percentage specifically meant for investment purposes.
As the Chief Financial Director of INEC, I have already declared to the Authorities and the Auditor General of the Federation here that out of the US$1 billion given to us, US$184.5 million is the balance left and the US$15.5 million through over invoicing records have been pushed to the Forex Account of bank of Nigeria awaiting the necessary documents to be processed to obtain valid and legal authorization prior to telegraphic wire transfer taking place to your designated bank account.
Note: Our reason for contacting you in this confidential transaction is due to the fact as top civil servants working under government establishment or corporation we are not allowed to operate foreign account as it is against the new Government Anti Corruption Code of Conduct Bureau and on discovery that we have access to foreign account, we shall be dismissed from service immediately and based on this difficult situation, we have no other option than to look for a reliable foreign partner to assist us in taking out this fund. All we need from you is nothing but to allow us use your bank account and transfer this money immediately before we commence the primary elections in my country this year.
Finally, this transaction will be finalized precisely in 12 banking days and we shall be given you 10% of the total sum for your support, assistance and cooperation in seeing that this funds transfer succeeds. On the other hand, you are being guaranteed also that there is no atom of risk involved in your participation hence the transaction will be handled with utmost confidentiality in other to avoid any leakage.
