COPY OF LETTER RECEIVED... BIT DRAWN OUT,.. THIS ONE
======================================

ATTNS: PLEASE READ AND GET TO BACK TO ME

Switzerland's highest court Wednesday ,September 21 2011. ordered a retrial of myself ( MR ABBA ABACHA) ,the son of the late Head of state ,General Sani Abacha.

Abacha,who took over power on November 17,1993 and died June 1998,had been fingered ,along with his family members ,in a large -scale fraud and stealing of government monies .

Until his death in 1998 ,he was accused of siphoning up to $2.2billions united state dollars from the central Bank of Nigeria .His son myself( Abba) was earlier charge by Geneva authorities for taken part in criminal organization.I was sentence to a suspended jail term of two years and my asset confiscated in the initial court hearing.
But I won an appeal at the Swiss federal Tribunal ,which ordered that the sentence be annulled and a retrial held due to procedural irregularities and the fact that the accused Me (Abba) had been unable to attend the trial because I was unable to obtain a visa in time.

In June 2010 ,Geneva police's court found me Abba guilty of participating in my families 's pillage of the nation's assets. Nigeria had recovered a total of $505.5 million from the Swiss authorities being money stolen and stashed away by the late Abacha according to data released by the united nations office on drug and crime and the World Bank ,under a new initiative called the Stolen Asset Recovery (STAR),

The government of the Switzerland had in June 2008 ,said it had returned all monies stolen by the former head of state to the federal Government.The Embassy of Switzerland charge D'Affaires,Mr Fabio Baiardi ,gave a breakdown of the returned monies as a first installments of $290million united state dollars transfer ed on September 1 ,2005 , a second installments of $168 million united state dollars ,transfer ed on December 19, 2005 and $40 million united state dollars transfer ed at the end of January 2006.

Baiardi also disclosed that $7 million united state dollars was transfer ed into a blocked account in Nigeria,as the Swiss government could not identified its origin .adding that the money was still in the blocked account.
While Nigeria was able to recover from domestic instuions $800 million united state dollars of the $3 billion to $5 billion that the late Abacha my late father was estimated to have stolen during his rule ,it took five years of legal effort before the Swiss authorities could release $505.5 million united state dollars .

In all a little over $1.3 billion dollars had so far been recovered from the family of the late Abachas.


Now with your consent i am contacting you to front for me to claim the $59.2 million united state dollars deposited with a Bank/Finance instutitions in Europe details shall forwarded to you on your aceptance .which nobody is aware about even my family members is unaware of this funds.I will introduce you to a secrete lawyer that will work with you to get this funds transfer to your designated accounts.please i want you to please. keep this utmost secrete as i dont want my names (ABACHAS) disclosed to that funds.

Post an add on Gumtree or similar indicating you have a low priced vehicle for sale and watch the sms from computers start coming in. The poor guys are all stuck out to sea on Oil Rigs and really want to purchase your car. You can only contact them via a gmail account and they will only use Paypal because it is sooo secure. Silly thing is some ppl are caught by them and lose money.

I think the Kiva.org one could be a nice little earner tho, so thanks for bring to my attention Lee... here's my considered response !!!



Dear Mr Unnamed Minion of Kiva.org UK,

I am certain I will be one of the 5 qualified applicants selected for your 2012 Loan Offer. As a result, upon my selection I instruct Kiva.org UK to accept and appoint you Mr Unnamed Minion as my proxy for all dealings with Kiva.org UK.

First, I instruct you to complete the required application paperwork in my name - Mr Ian Frederick Ing-Thinknott. Further, I instruct you Mr Unnamed Minion to deposit the TWENTY MILLION USD into a bank account of your choosing.

To protect both myself and your good self from any type of internet based fraud attempt, the bank account shall be administered by yourself on behalf of Kiva.org UK and kept in trust for myself, Mr I. F. Ing-Thinknott.

The bank account you choose must guarantee a return of exactly 2% pa. Any higher or lower rate of return is unacceptable - there is enough bank and corporate greed in the world already, so I don't wish to add personal greed to that.

Interest on the funds is to be calculated daily, but paid bi-annually with the following distribution:
- 50% to go to Kiva.org UK for the payment of interest
- 25% to come to myself via my paypal account, i.f.ing-thinknott@hotmail.com
- 15% to go to your good self, Mr Unnamed Minion, in remuneration for acting as my proxy
- 10% to go Sir Bob Geldof to use in his charitable works

The use of paypal is to ensure the security of my funds, and I suggest you do likewise. Again - you can never be too wary of internet based fraud attempts.

I trust that you are an honorable person working for a respectable company, and so will have no hesitation in doing these things for me.

Even though I've never met you nor had any dealings with you before this e-mail, I feel completely safe and assured in this transaction. I graciously thank you for your assistance, and ask that the Great Green Arkleseizure continues to sneeze upon you.

Sincerely,
Ian
Mr I. F. Ing-Thinknott.

Good One Dave....

by these sorts of things..

as the Government says about these type of emails:

if it looks too good to be true.. it probably is... lol

its funny how these people use email addresses from another country than the one they are supposed to be in... ??
