Here is another Version of the same fraud:
Ibrahim Bamaiyi
Plot 1577 Otunba Davies
Victoria Island
Nigeria
I have the honour and confidence to introduce this business to you and I believe
that we should be able to work togther on it.
I am Ibrahim Bamaiyi, senior son of former Army chief of Staff, LT GEN ISHAYA
BAMAYI. During the last military regime, my father deposited the sum of
NGN400Million, which is exactly US$38Million (THIRTY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS) in
Equitorial Trust Bank Plc, this money was lodged in cash and kept in a security
vault.
The Nigerian government released this money to the chief of army staff
originally to be used for peace keeping operations in war torned Sierra
Leone[ECOMOG OPERATIONS] as at November, 1998 but my father, LT.GEN.ISHAYA
BAMAIYI converted this money into his
personal use and deposited it in Equitorial Trust Bank Plc.
However, in December 1999 the new Democratic Government in Nigeria arrested my
father for alleged attempted murder of the Guardian Publisher, Chief Alex Ibru
and he has been in detention since that time. As a trusted son and heir, my
father has mandated me to solicit for a trustworthy and reliable foreign partner
who can assist us to transfer this money into his personal or company bank
account for safe keeping as the present government is bent on confiscating all
my father's properties and investments.
Arrangement have been concluded to move this money as consignment to Germany
through diplomatic means and this will be done as soon as you indicate your
willingness to proceed to Germany and clear it from the courier company. This
business risk free and success guaranteed as the Nigeria government does not
know about this money.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given twenty percent of the
total sum for your assistance, while 10% will be used to offset expenses on both
your side and the family.
Please note that this transaction is private and confidential and therefore
should not be discussed with any other person until the money is confirmed in
your account. So if you are willing to transact business with me, you should
send me a reply through my e-mail address or indicated fax or telephone numbers.
Please note that your reply must contain your telephone and private fax numbers
for easy and confidential communication.
I believe we should be able to conclude this transaction within a few days with
your maximum
co-operation.
Many thanks and kind regards.
Best regards.
Ibrahim Bamaiyi
