It is only this money US$70,000,000.00 (Seventy million US Dollars Only) that he deposited with a security company vault , that they can not trace because the funds were deposited as (ANTIQUITY) African Art Work from the National Commission for Museum and Monuments (N.

All these I will furnish you with, should you wish to assist us in the transfer of this money into a foreign account. So, we want you to act as this contractor since we can not do this all alone because we do not have any foreign partner or foreign account to use for this transaction and as a civil servant in my country, we are not allowed to operate domiciliary or foreign account, hence this mail to you.

Yours faithfully Mr. GRAAHAM OKONMA Received June 6, 2001                          ABDULKAREEM KASEREKA,  EMAIL: rekabdul@yahoo.com Dear Sir,            CONFIDENTIAL CORRESPONDENCE Firstly and most importantly, I must crave your indulgence that this proposal is seriously considered as urgent and strictly confidential. I am Mr. Abdulkareem Kasereka, elder brother to Late Rashidi Kasereka (RIP) who was slain in the controversial circumstances surrounding the killing of Late Laurent Desire Kabila, former president of the Democratic Republic of Congo.   Before the unfortunate incident, my brother was one the few soldiers that the late president trusted and had personal inclinations towards. He served more like a son than a soldier and so was very close to the president. They were involved in a lot of international trade in ivory and diamond even before Kabila became president. Presently, I am in possession of an envelope containing several documents, which my brother personally handed on to me before his death. In the documents are details of very confidential information of safety deposit vaults containing huge sums of money, all in American dollars. The monies amount to US$217,080,000.00 (two hundred and seventeen million and eighty thousand united states dollars). The vaults are all lodged in a finance/security firm in The Netherlands. Members of my family and I fled Democratic Republic of Congo on hearing of the killing of my brother. We are still taking refuge in another country and we are in dire need of funds so that we can settle elsewhere and go on with our lives. I am, by this correspondence, seeking your immediate assistance in accessing the funds and subsequently making arrangements to transfer the funds to your designated account.              Endeavour to respond immediately you receive this mail, including the following in your response: 1) Your personal email address, 2) Your private and personal telephone and fax numbers. More details regarding this urgent proposal will be unshed to you on confirmation of your receipt of this correspondence and intent of partnership to claim the funds. I will also provide you with my contact telephone and fax numbers as the transaction progresses    I anticipate your prompt response to this email. Yours faithfully, Abdulkareem Kasereka. Received June 23, 2001 Business Proposal Let me start first by introducing myself to you properly. I am manager with the standard trust bank limited (website www.standard trustbank.com) Lagos Nigeria. I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable person /company to handle a confidential transaction on behalf of my colleagues and myself. THE PROPOSITION: A German Mr. Wolfgang Schiniter, 66 yrs of age and the wife Helga Schiniter, a prosperous farmers have in our bank a sum of EIGHTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND United States Dollars (US $18.5 million) in a domiciliary account. He named his wife Mrs. Helga Schiniter as the next of kin, unfortunately two of them died in the air crash involving concord AF4590 in Gonesse, France. Efforts had been made by the management of my bank through the German embassy in Nigeria to contact any of the children but to no avail. According to the  embassy, the couple had no child. The bank is still unrelenting in it bid to contact any of the relatives to claim the money. In the event of nobody claiming the money, the bank will declare the account dormant and will be trading with it freely till eternity. In order to avoid this development, my colleagues and I now seek your permission/assistance to have you stand as one of the relatives to Mr. Wolfgang Schiniter so that the funds will be released to you. All the documents and proofs to enable you get this funds would be carefully worked out. The bank has secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased relatives. More so I am assuring you that this is 100% risk free. If this proposal is accepted by you, please do contact me immediately through my Email: ekwusim2001@operamail.com and let me know your condition. Meanwhile I  am proposing 20% commission for you. Please ensure to keep this proposal very secret and confidential for obvious reasons. Awaiting for your urgent reply. Regards. Ekwusim John Standard Trust Bank Ltd. Lagos, Nigeria. E-mail: ekwusim2001@operamail.com Received 25 June 2001 Mr. Mohammed Ali Direct Tel: 234-1-7754231 Fax: 234-1-7590920 Subject: Business Proposal Sir, I am Mr.Mohammed Ali , Deputy secretary to the Nigerian Football Association, parent body of the World Youths Championship, Nigeria 99' Local Organizing Committee, an affiliate of Federation of International Football Association (FIFA). In the course of our preparation to host the World Youth Soccer Championship Tagged (Nig'99). Early last two years, huge sum of money running into millions of United States Dollars was budgeted by the then Military Government for the successful organization of this competition. In the same vein, FIFA via his President, Mr. Joseph (SEPP) blater, made millions of dollars available for the same project, not to talk of Corporate Organizations and Football loving individuals who made huge donations. However, in my capacity as the deputy secretary, to both the Local Organizing Committee (LOC), and the Nigerian Football Association (NFA), I and some of my colleagues in sensitive positions were able to over-invoice most contracts, which were awarded for the construction and the refurbishing of the 8 stadia used for the competition. The contractors who handled these projects have been paid-off. It is pertinent to note that a total sum of thirty-two million united states dollars (US$32,000,000.00) was realized as over-invoice after the successful completion of all the Stadia. This over-invoiced sum is lying in my organization's (NFA) suspense account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), ready for transfer into the beneficiary's account oversea, waiting for the appropriate opportunity to do so. In this year's (2001) budget speech, the new Civilian President has ordered that all foreign contractor's debt should be paid in order to boost more Foreign investor into Nigeria. On this note, I have been unanimously mandated by my two colleagues to seek for a honest and trustworthy Foreigner who will assist in ensuring the successful transfer of the above sum into a personal/company account since the Nigerian code of conduct does not allow us (Civil servants) to operate a foreign account. It is pertinent also to let you know that 30% of the total fund will be for you, while 10% will be used to settle any expenses that might be incurred by both parties and the remaining 60% will be for us (I and my colleagues to be invested for us into foreign investment by you in your country). We have chosen you /your company to benefit with us in this transaction due to the respect your country commands here. You might be surprise and curious of an offer like this, be rest assured that the modalities and logistics towards the successful transfer of this fund has been worked out. All we require from you is your co-operation. This transaction is risk free. We kindly request that you accord it the highest level of secrecy it deserves. Your swift response will be highly appreciated. Best regards, Mr. Mohammed Ali Received July 16, 2001 DATE : MR KALADA AMADA ABIDJAN - COTE D' IVOIRE TEL : ( 225 ) 07  -98  -03  -88 INVESTMENT PROPOSAL Dear Sir, I am MR. KALADA AMADA, I got to know of courtesy of International Business here in Abidjan (Ivory Coast). Sequent to my zeal towards foreign Investment and Security for my life and my possession, I therefore write to give you a Break-down of this proposal. I  was the personal confidant to the President Of Sierra-Leone (ALH. TEJAN KABBAH) who was formerly pushed out of office by a military coup carried out by  disgruntled soldiers. However,when these soldiers strucked his Excellency was forced to run into Guinea Conakry on exile, some of his closest aids left for some other countries. While these events took place I decided to move to Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) with my family and a treasure containing the total sum of US $ 22,000.000 (Twenty two Million US Dollars) which was part of the cash left under my control within the Presidential Mansion where I was in charge of Securities. With the help of an Ivoirian farmer, I was able to move this money to Abidjan. On arrival here in Abidjan, I immediately deposited the treasure containing the fund into a private Security Company for safe keeping, although the Security Company is not aware of the contents as they were deposited as personal effects and artefacts. Right now the situation in my country has returned normal and Ido not want to go back. I am seeking for a partner who shall serve as the guardian of this fund with whom I can plan the best way to move this money for investment purposes which is my motive for contacting you to actualise the project. You are required to assist in the following manners. 1. That you shall be required to provide a good Bank account where the money could be transferred and where taxation will not take much toll on the money. 2. That you shall serve as the general overseer and guardian of this fund and all investment thereafter. 3. To assist in providing me and my immediate family a permanent residential permit in your country after the money must have been transferred to your account. For these services a suitable percentage (%) will be mapped out for you after you have shown your willingness to assist. So if you are interested reply me via email for further details. Having stated the above clearly, I expect to receive your response soonest as I do not intend to have this transaction delayed. Please treat this as highly confidential. Thank you and God Bless.

Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the Union Bank to get in touch with any of the Creek family or relatives to avail. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of Late Engr. Johnson Creek's next-of-kin (he had no known wife and children) that the management under the influence of our chairman and member of the board of directors, retired Major General Kalu Uke Kalu, that an arrangement be made for the funds to be declared UNCLAIMABLE and subsequently be donated to the Trust Fund for Arms and Ammunition to furtherenhance the course of war in Africa and the world in general.

Sani Abacha whose sudden death occurred on the 8th of June 1998. Since his demise, my entire family has undergone several psychological trauma from the arrest of my eldest surviving brother Mohammed, to the oversea travel embargo and restrictions imposed on all family members including myself. Now the new civilian Government has intensified all efforts with help from the international community to recover  the estate and asset acquired by my late father while in power especially huge amount of cash stashed away in various account abroad especially in Canada and Luxemburg. To this effect, a panel of enquiry was set up to look into financial activities of my late father while in power, which now led to the confiscation of most of his estate and asset abroad. Along the line, with help from our accounting officer in Zurich it was now discovered that the money had already accured interest payment to the tune of over 32 Million both in British Pounds and Dollars which was manipulated and kept a secret. No one knows about it, but my confidential Attorney who was detailed to make arrangements and deposit this money in safe deposit boxes with a security company, which he did in several locations of which I am prepared to expose to you upon your acceptance to assist us. I intend transferring this money to be held by you on trust and subsequently put into any viable project abroad with the money and we shall be willing to go into a partnership with you if you eventually accept to this offer.

We are top officials from the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing,(FMWH), Federal Ministry of Finance and the Presidency, making up the Contract Review Panel (CRP) set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria to review contracts awarded by the past military administration. In the course of our work on the CRP, we discovered this fund which resulted from grossly over-invoiced contracts which were executed for the FMW&H during the last administration. The companies that executed the contracts have been duly paid and the contracts commissioned leaving the sum of US$12.4 Million floating in the escrow account of the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment. I have therefore been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas partner to whom we could transfer the sum of US$12.4M legally subcontracting the entitlement to your company. This is bearing in mind that our civil service code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign company or running  foreign account while in government service hence the need for an overseas partner. We have agreed that the funds will be shared thus after it has been paid into your account: (1) 30% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the fund. (2) 10% has been set aside as an abstract projection for reimbursment to both parties for incidental expences that may be incurred in the course of the transaction. (3) 60% to us the government officials (with which we wish to commence an importation business in conjunction with you ). All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth conclusion of the transaction within ten to fourteen days of commencement after receipt of the following information:   Your company name, address, company's details & activities, telephone & fax numbers. These information will enable us make the applications and lodge claims to the concerned ministries & agencies in favour of your company and it is pertinent to state here that this transaction is entirely based on trust as the solar bank draft or certified cheque drawable in any of the Central Bank of Nigeria correspondent bankers around the world is going to be made in your name.

It is not also coming to you as one of those fraudulent messages going through the Internet. We are a charitable organization formed by a group of concern Nigerians to assist the Government of Nigerian and some neighboring African countries and humanity in our own little way in the fight, education, prevention etc., of the deadly disease AIDS in our community. The scourge of AIDS in Africa is spreading like wide fire. This is as a result of ignorance on the part of many African communities and the at the same time, the various Government Agencies in African to accord it a top most priority. Considering this in our mind and the effect that in the next few years, the next generation of African youths might not live beyond the next 15 years. We then took it upon ourselves to see that we embark on campaign to education our youths on the danger ahead of our generation and the consequential effect of it to our survival as a race. This campaign is taking us to villages where we are holding seminars, workshops, visiting schools, educating the rural people on the need for them to take adequate measures to avoid the high risk of casual sex, sharing needles, oral sex, and other methods whereby AIDS could be contacted. This campaign had started yielding results. A lot of local Government Agencies had started appreciating our efforts in the form of moral and financial encouragement. These efforts though encouraging, are inadequate. This is the reason why we decided to contact you to see in what way you might be of assistance to us. We need funds to be able to purchase materials for our campaign. These materials are in the form of vehicles for our logistic, funds for buying condom, demonstration materials, clothing for victims, rehabilitation for affected people, hospitalization of victims that need medical attention, money for buying Anti Viral Drugs for victims, mass mobilization of the youths, visitation to rural villages and schools. The list is much. We are begging you in the name of God to see what you can do from your capacity as a fellow human being to assist these people through us. There is no amount that is too small from you, as it will go a long way is saving one life in the next minute. Our generation has no other alternative than to survive through people like you. God had blessed you. I know when you think that you have sent something to us, have it in mind that you have saved a soul. Whatever you give ranging from usd200, I promised would be used for the cause it is demanded and God will bless you the more abundantly. You can e-mail us about your response, and at the same time, send whatever you can through western union money transfer in the name of Ayo James Nmomah 23 Okota Road Lagos Nigeria.
