Subject: Highly Confidential



My name is Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari, Ex-Governor of Zamfara State,
Nigeria. I served as a governor of the state for 2 tenure (2011 –
2019) under the leading political democratic party APC.

My Proposal:

During my administration as the governor, I diverted the sum of 107
Billion Naira (281 Million US Dollars) meant for the state. Recently I
was probed for alleged misappropriation of the said funds and this you
can find on Premium Times News Paper as published under this link:
 <Suspicious hyperlink> 

I have been arraigned in court by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission but because of my affluence and power, knowing the corrupt
system of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, all effort to bring me to
justice has proved abortive. In the course of the investigation, I
moved the funds out of Nigeria Apex Bank to an Apex Bank in a
neighboring country which I will disclose to you upon receipt of your
response.

I need your urgent permission to move the funds into your account
offshore. The money will be shared in the ratio of 30% for you and 70%
for me. On acceptance of my proposal, I shall have my legal
representative (Law Firm) prepare a Deed of Assignment appointing you
as a contractor to claim and receive the funds. I assure you that the
transaction is 100% risk-free.

Please respond if you are interested.

Regards,

Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari
