JIDE NOMINEES
Plot 33 Nicholas Crescent, V/I.
Lagos-Nigeria.

Sir,

The purpose of this proposal is not bring any embarrassment
to you as we have never met, but to seek your utmost understanding
and assistance in the issue I am about to explain to you in
this mail.
As you can see above, my name is Martins Jide, and I am the
principal of the above named law firm here in Lagos Nigeria.

You see!, I have an issue of a very sensitive circumstance which
I wish to confide to you.
One of my clients, and ofcourse, my major client who happens
to be the chief security officer {CSO} to the late military
dictator of the nation {Gen. Sani Abacha} who died on july 1998
on active service as the then head of state, his name Hamza
Al-Mustapha called to confide an issue to me.
Al-Mustapha is presently detained for charges of acute human
right violations, and embezzlement of publc fund leveled against
him and the son of the late General {His Master}.

An inner house information has revealed that the duo are likely
to face life imprisonment for the charges against them which
they are likely to be convicted for.
My client Al-Mustapha got this information some how and called
to brief
me of a security trunk which he deposited with a trust company
here in Nigeria before his demise.
According to him, the trunk contains the cash sum of US$35,000,000
which the trust company does not know about yet, as it was declared
as family's jewelries and personal documents. Also according
to him, security measures were taken to disguise the content
of the trunk so that no one knows exactly what is inside.
He said he stocked the bills in disguise for negative papers
which he said are for some security photographs taken at the
presidential villa.

Now that his chances of being set free from the allegations
against him are rare, he called me to assist him in securing
the the fund, which ofcourse is the only hope of the family
{His two wives, and nine children}.
After much deliberation however, I managed to convince him to
endorse a change of beneficiary for the deposited trunk, this
will enable the new beneficiary put an application for withdrawal
of the trunk.
In the light of this, I decided to contact you to assist us
in this transaction.
The plan is to changr the beneficiary of the consignment into
your name, forward you with all the necessary documents to this
effect and have you contact the trust company for withdrawal
of the trunk as the new/legal beneficiary.
You will request that the consignment be deliverred to you at
your nominated destination. After proper identification and
verification as the new legal beneficiary, the company will
release the consignment to you. The company may also take care
of handling of the consignment until it is deliverred at your
domain or any of your nominated destination, as you may advise.
My client lost almost a hundred million US dollars, frozen in
swiss banks and in different personal accounts on the instruction
of the present deomacratic government of the fedral republic
of Nigeria.
The plan to move this fund out of the country was informed by
a joint decission by the family of my client to invest this
money abroad, probably into commercial real estate, at least
to shelter their money.
Having gone through this explanation, and considering the fate
of this family he is about to leave behind, I ask a simple question:
Should my client suffer for offences allegedly committed by
him master?, should even his family be left, abandoned and even
refused to be heard, by a government which is prosecuting their
sole bread winner for human right violations?
To freeze an account of a fulltime house wife who never knew
anything in the government, yet denied the basic requirements
of life is a crime to humanity, and human rights violation at
its peak. Yet my client's family is presently denied of telephone
access etc, hence dening them the freedom of communication and
association.

It is for this reason that I sincerely solicit your utmost assitance
to move this fund into your care abroad, on behalf of the family
for safe keeping, subject to when they are ready to manage the fund.
It is also expected that you will represent this family in brokering
the purchase of valuable/profitable proprties in your country
or the neighbouring, so they can always fall back to these properties
when the heat on the family reduces.

My client has also resolved to reward hansomely reward you with
5% of the total amount on the sucessful conclussion of each
transaction. I shall also be 100% available to provide you with
the necessary assistance and guidelines you may require on the
course of this transaction.I have just entrusted the details
of this fund and the fatte of this helpless family into your
conscience for safe keeping. I also hope to have offerred you
a great opportunity to make yourself some good money, I believe
I have.
Should the above transaction appeal to you therefore, I hereby
urge you to mail me your response immediately for further details
on immediate commencement of this transaction.
You will also be doing us a lot of good to guide this information
with immense confidentiality, even if this transaction does
not appeal to you.

Please send copy of your reply to (martinsjide@jycos.com)
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Kind regards,
Jide.
