ATTN: Managing Director,

It is with heart felt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and assistance regarding our family ?inheritance? which needs to be moved out Nigeria quickly. I am femi Ige, the son of crowned late Chief Ajibola James Ige (SAN), former Governor of Oyo State (1979 ? 1983), Minister of Steel and Power (1999 ? 2001) and later the attorney General and minister of Justice of Federation until his death by assassination.

My father was gunned down on 23rd December 2001 in his family house by three yet to be identified gunmen gang and was rushed to hospital where he died five hours later. My family does not know the motive behind the assassination but it becoming increasingly clear that my father fell victim of political conspiracy with business interest. The Federal Government is investigating the killing and our family is awaiting Government to make its findings public. However, our family has secured the services of an independent attorney to conduct an independent inquiry about the killing of my father.

Before my father died, he told me in privacy about a substantial amount of money totaling $58.7,59,000.00 million dollars (Fifty-eight million, seven hundred and fifty-nine thousand dollars kept in his personal safe box and deposited with a finance and security company which he intend to travel abroad for investment purpose. He lamented that he could not finish the business he entered with some people. The consignment was deposited as personal belongings and labeled ?Diplomatic Cargo? earmarked for airlifting. I have the original copy of certificate of deposit and receipt issued by the finance and Security Company to my father.

My late father has therefore advised me before his last painful moment in the hospital to solicit the assistance of a foreign businessman with vest knowledge of fund and investment management background to help our family invest wisely the inherited fund.

It is based on his last instruction that I am requesting your assistance in helping us secure the safe box containing the family? inherited fund? until I am able to come over to your country for investment discussion. We do not know whom to trust for protection in Nigeria anymore because my father?s secretary was killed also three days after my father?s death.

We shall discuss the modalities of moving the consignment out of Nigeria upon confirmation of your help in this regard. A decision of your percentage will be taken later by us and will be communicated to you accordingly.

Please forward your private telephone, fax and mobile numbers if available to me. Thanks and may God bless you.

Best regards,

femi Ige.
