Based on this therefore, the family has asked me to seek for a foreign partner who can work with us as to move out the total sum of US$75,000,000.00 ( seventyfive million United States dollars ), presently in their possession. This money was of course, acquired by the late president and is now kept secretly by the family. The Swiss government has already frozen all the accounts of the family in Switzerland, and some other countries would soon follow to do the same. This bid by some government officials to deal with this family has made it necessary that we seek your assisitance (sic) in receiving this money and in investing it on behalf of the family.
