Hello and goodday,
I know this letter will come to you as a surprise; but this letter is
borne out
of my desire to establish a mutual business relationship with you,please
keep it confidential!.
I am Mr Mustafa Ahmed the son of Dr Ibrahim Ahmed the former deputy
finance minister under the ousted civilian government in Sierra Leone.
My father was killed and mutilated by the military junta led by Major
Paul Koroma after over throwing the elected government of President
Tejan Kabba.
Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events
disturbances in Sierra leone, but the,pressure of war drove me and my
mother out of Sierra Leone into exile in South Africa.Where we have been
living under political asylum for three years.
Sadly, my mother died of cancer three [3] months ago and was buried
here in South Africa. Prior to her death, she handed over to me a
certificate meant for a secret deposit which my father made in a
security/finance company in South Africa.
This deposit is worth [US $ 15.000.000.00] fifteen Million United States
Dollars only. And this money is in cash.
My father made this deposit in the heat of the conflict then in my
country, with the hope to convert it[money] to his personal use at the
end of the war, unfortunately he was killed when the conflict
intensified
as result of his opposition to the rebel forces.
After my mother’s funeral, I contacted the security company to confirm
this deposit and establish ownership as well made an arrangement for
this deposit to be moved through diplomatic channel to United
Arab Emirates Presently, this sum of U.S$15,000,000.00 (fifteen million
dollars) is currently being deposited in a security vault in Dubai. I am
seeking for your honest and sincere participation in the retrievement
and reinvestment of this money.I cannot do it alone due to my complete
ignorance of the business world, more over i am now a political refugee
here in Dubai so i do not have the legal status to conduct transaction
of such magnitude.
I will give you a negotiable percentage of between 20% to 30% depending
on the level of assistance if you assist me to retrieve and reinvest this
money in any profitable area of business in your country.And to assist me
in getting residence papers in your country.
Please, I need your assistance urgently, because the more this
consignment is still with the company, the more the demurrage
accumulates.
Call me on my private mobile 00971-503-480-965 for more details.
Allah be with You,
Thanks yours
Mustafa Ahmed.

I am Dr. Abel Ibude Guobadia the chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission. (INEC) under the present regime of President Olusegun Obasanjo, of the federal republic of Nigeria.
During the last general election, over N40billion was released to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the conduct of the April general elections.
The following were released to provided for the commission in the 2003 Budget: recurrent expenditure, (N5.615billion); capital projects (7.24billion) electoral Matters (N15.19billion) and grants to the 30 political parties (N600 million). The money was part of the earlier N1.9billion allocated to the commission.
My commission had earlier received N27billion for election matters before the Christmas. It also received over N7.3billion fro the registration of voters that toke place in the Sept. last year. But the commission released over N420million to seven political parties on account of their electoral performance at the April National Assembly Elections all in our local currency.
Now the federal government has ordered the audit of the commission’s account.The external auditors from the offices of MessrsKPMG and Giwa Osagie have been enlisted for the job The audit of the account of the commission came as INEC released N420 million to seven political parties on the basis of their membership at the national Assembly.
But, during the course of this exercise, I was able to move the sum of usd$30million through diplomatic means tagged diplomatic paraphernalia to Europe, deposited in Security/Finance Company
As a civil servant to the federal government I cannot introduce such sum of money into our local banking system neither allowed to operate a foreign account.It is in view of these stringent condition that, I decided the best way to approach the task is to liaise with someone outside Nigeria (Foreigner) Hence you were contacted.
I humbly solicit your able assistance in the execution of this transaction; US$3.5miilion will be given to you for your involvement in successful accomplishment of this transaction.
In other not to be greed/selfish I shall welcome your decision as we leave this to an open negotiation….kindly avail me with your telephone number…details regards this transaction.

The Faroe Islands (Denmark or…? 😉
Being located in a remote part of the North Atlantic and having a population of 43 000 citizens are not the ideal conditions for a prosperous society, yet that is what the Faroe Islands are!!!! They have everything; two airlines with frequent departures to London, Aberdeen, Reykjavik, Billund, Copenhagen and Oslo; 48 (!) municipalities with an average of less than 500 citizens; three commercial banks, two radio stations, two breweries, one tv station and two mobile operator networks. How come? In my region we are 108 000 and we can’t manage to agree on anything whatsoever!!!
