DEAR SIR/MADAM,

GOOD DAY SIRS. I HOPE MY LETTER DOES NOT CAUSE YOU TOO MUCH EMBARRASSMENT AS I WRITE TO YOU IN GOOD FAITH AND THE TRANSACTION IS OF MUTUAL BENEFIT. BASED ON THE CONTACT ADDRESS GIVEN TO ME BY A FRIEND WHO WORKS AT THE NIGERIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ATTACHED TO YOUR EMBASSY IN MY COUNTRY.

PLEASE EXCUSE MY INTRUSION INTO YOUR PRIVATE LIFE. I AM BARRISTER HOGUSTU SLAUGHTER, I REPRESENT MY CLIENT WHO IS A VERSE LIBRE POET OF AMPLE REKNOWN IN MY COUNTRY; BUT AS YOU MAY BE AWARE OUR FREEDOMS ARE NOT AS LIBERAL AS YOURS IN AMERRIKKA. I AM AFRAID MANY OF MY CLIENTS POEMS WOULD BE CONSIDERED LIBELOUS AND INCENDIARY TO THE REPRESSIVE REGIME, AND HIS LIFE WOULD BE FORFEIT AT GREAT EXPENSE. I AM SEEKING YOUR HELP AS A SYMPATHETIC COLLEAGUE TO ASSIST MY CLIENT WHO IN HIS OWN BEST INTEREST REMAINS ANONYMOUS IN PUBLISHING HIS AMPLE WORK IN YOUR NAME. RUMORS OF HIS WRITINGS HAVE LEAKED OUT AND MY CLIENT IS FORCED INTO HIDING FROM VINDICTIVE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO ARE BENT ON SILENCING HIM AND HIS FAMILY. CONSEQUENTLY, MY CLIENT HAS ASKED ME TO SEEK FOR A FOREIGN PARTNER WHO CAN WORK WITH US TO SEE HIS MESSAGE IS GOTTEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND FOR ITS SUBMISSION TO A REPUTABLE POWERHOUSE PUBLISHER. IN ADDITION I AM PREPARED AS TO MOVE OUT THE TOTAL SUM OF US$75,000,000.00 ( SEVENTYFIVE MILLION UNITEDSTATES DOLLARS ), PRESENTLY IN OUR POSSESSION. THIS MONEY WAS OF COURSE, ACQUIRED BY THE NIGERIAN UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT AND IS NOW KEPT SECRETLY BY OUR LAW FIRM. THE SWISS GOVERNMENT HAS ALREADY FROZEN ALL THE ACCOUNTS OF THE FAMILY IN SWITZERLAND, AND SOME OTHER COUNTRIESWOULD SOON FOLLOW TO DO THE SAME.

THIS BID BY SOME GOVERNMENTOFFICIALS TO DEAL WITH THIS FAMILY HAS MADE IT NECESSARY THAT WE SEEK YOUR ASSISITANCE IN RECEIVING THIS MONEY AND IN INVESTING IT ON BEHALFOF MY CLIENT IN SEEING HIS POEMS ARE SHARED WITH THE WORLD. THIS MUST BE A JOINT VENTURE TRANSACTION AND WE MUST ALL WORK TOGETHER. SINCE THIS MONEY IS STILL IN CASH, EXTRA SECURITY MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO PROTECT IT FROM THEFT OR SEIZURE, PENDING WHEN AGREEMENT IS REACHED ON WHEN TO MOVE IT INTO ANYOF THIS COUNTRIES HOLLAND,LONDON, SPAIN,CANADA PENDING ON OUR AGREEMENT.

I HAVE PERSONALLY WORKED OUT ALL MODALITIES FOR THE PEACEFUL CONCLUSIONOF THIS TRANSACTION. THE TRANSACTION DEFINITELY WOULD BE HANDLED IN PHASES AND THE FIRST PHASE WILL INVOLVE THE MOVING OFUS$25,000,000.00(TWENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ).

MY CLIENTS ARE WILLING TO GIVE YOU A REASONABLEPERCENTAGE OF THIS MONEY AS SOON AS THE TRANSACTIONIS CONCLUDED. I WILL, HOWEVER, BASED ON THE GROUNDS THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH US AND ALSO ALL CONTENTIOUS ISSUES DISCUSSED BEFORE THE COMMENCEMENT OF
THIS TRANSACTION. YOU MAY ALSO DISCUSS YOUR PERCENTAGE BEFORE WE START TO WORK. AS SOON AS I HEAR FROM YOU, I WILL GIVE YOU ALL NECESSARY DETAILS AS TO HOW WE INTEND TO CARRY OUT THE WHOLE TRANSACTION. PLEASE, DO NOT ENTERTAIN ANY FEARS,AS ALL NECESSARY MODALITIES ARE IN PLACE, AND I ASSURE YOU OF ALL SUCCESS AND SAFETY IN THIS TRANSACTION.

PLEASE, THIS TRANSACTION REQUIRES ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND YOU WOULD BE EXPECTED TO TREAT IT AS SUCH UNTIL THE FUNDS ARE MOVED OUT OF THIS COUNTRY TO WHERE YOU INTEND TO RECEIVE THEM.

IN COMPLIANCE WITH THIS YOU ARE TO FORWARD TO ME THE FOLLOWING DETAILS: YOUR COMPLETE NAMES AND ADDRRESS, CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS, THIS IS TO ENABLE ME PERFECT ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION WITH THE SECURITY FIRM AND MOVE THISMONEY ACROSS TO YOUR COUNTRY OF CHOICE. PLEASE, YOU WILL ALSO IGNORE THIS LETTER AND RESPECT OUR TRUST IN YOU BY NOT EXPOSING THIS TRANSACTION, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED.

I LOOK FORWARDS TO WORKING WITH YOU.THANK YOU.

TRULY YOURS

BARRISTERS I.M. LEEDING & HOGUSTU SLAUGHTER.
