I received the following email today, anyone got any idea what the scam is?
SIR,
I AM DANBABA ALI ESQ (SAN) SENIOR PARTNER OF
DANBABA & ASSOCIATES LAW CHAMBERS, A
LAWYER/ATTORNEY TO HAMZA AL MUSTAPHA WHO
WAS THE FORMER CHIEF SECURITY OFFICER TO THE
MILITARY DICTATOR OF NIGERIA, GENERAL SANI
ABACHA. THE LATE GENERAL SANI ABACHA DIED
UNEXPECTEDLY ON THE 8TH OF JUNE 1998. HIS
COLLEAGUES IN THE ARMY POISONED HIM IN THE
PRESIDENTIAL VILLA (ASOROCK) BECAUSE HE RULED
NIGERIA WITH AN IRON HAND AND HE DID NOT WANT
DEMOCRACY IN THE COUNTRY. WITH THE DEATH OF THE
DICTATOR, ELECTIONS WERE HELD IN THE COUNTRY
AND A CIVILIAN ADMINISTRATION WAS SWORN INTO
POWER.
WITH THE ADVENT OF THE NEW CIVILIAN
ADMINISTRATION, A DECISION WAS TAKEN BY THE
PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA TO PROBE AND PROSECUTE ALL
MILITARY OFFICERS THAT SERVED IN THE LAST
MILITARY REGIME OF THE LATE GENERAL SANI ABACHA.
MY CLIENT, MAJOR HAMZA AL MUSTAPHA WAS SINGLED
OUT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY AS AN ARMY
OFFICER THAT MUST BE PUNISHED BECAUSE OF HIS
CLOSENESS TO THE LATE DICTATOR AND GROSS HUMAN
RIGHT ABUSES ON THE CITIZENS OF NIGERIA. MY CLIENT
AND I WERE BEST OF FRIENDS AND HE SHARED HIS
SECRETS WITH ME. THE FORMER CHIEF SECURITY
OFFICER TO THE LATE HEAD OF STATE MAJOR HAMZA AL
MUSTAPHA HAD PRIVATE ACCOUNTS THAT ARE WORTH
100 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS AROUND THE
WORLD. PRESENTLY HE HAS BEEN ARRESTED BY THE
GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY AND IS PRESENTLY IN
PRISON WAITING TO BE TAKEN TO COURT ON CHARGES
OF GROSS HUMAN RIGHT ABUSES ON THE CITIZENS OF
NIGERIA. I WAS DIRECTLY INFORMED BY MY CONTACTS
AT THE PRESIDENTIAL VILLA, THAT HE WILL BE
CONVICTED BECAUSE OF HIS POSITION AS THE FORMER
CHIEF SECURITY OFFICER TO THE LATE DICTATOR.
SHORTLY BEFORE THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT
ARRESTED MY CLIENT, HE ENTRUSTED TO ME THE SUM
OF TWENTY -SIX MILLION, FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
UNITED STATES DOLLARS (us$26,400,000.00) FOR
SAFEKEEPING. THIS AMOUNT WAS TO BE SENT TO HIS
MISTRESS IN LEBANON TO LAUNDER FOR HIM. I HAVE
SINCE HAD THIS AMOUNT WITH ME STASHED AWAY A
PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY IN NIGERIA. I CANNOT
SEND THIS MONEY TO MY CLEINT'S MISTRESS ANY
MORE BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION OF THINGS OVER
HERE. AS A RESULT OF THIS I HAVE BEEN MANDATED BY
MY CLIENT TO SOLICIT FOR A PARTNER ABROAD WHO IS
WILLING AND READY TO ASSIST IN RECEIVING THE $26.4
MILLION. THEREFORE, I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE IN
MOVING AND SECURING THIS MONEY IN YOUR
ACCOUNT ABROAD. YOU WILL BE ADEQUATELY
COMPENSATED WITH 15% OF THE TOTAL SUM FOR YOUR
ASSISTANCE AND CO-OPERATION WITH ME TO MOVE
THIS FUNDS OUT OF THE COUNTRY. I INTEND TO
SAFEGUARD AND INVEST THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY
ABROAD WITH A RELIABLE FOREIGN BUSINESS PARTNER
SO THAT WE CAN INVEST THE FUNDS IN REAL ESTATE
BUSINESS OR ANY VIABLE BUSINESS IN YOUR COUNTRY.
THAT IS WHY I AM SOLICITING YOUR ASSISTANCE AND
COOPERATION AS REGARDS THIS BUSINESS.
ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN CONCLUDED WITH A
SECURITY COMPANY IN EUROPE TO RECEIVE THE
MONEY IN CASH DEPENDING ON WHERE IS CONVENIENT
FOR YOU. PLEASE INDICATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO
ASSIST US.
I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU VERY SOON.
BEST REGARDS,
DANBABA ALI
