Attention please! From:Mr.Charlie Dibia Address:202 Upnot fifty Trans-Ekulu. Enugu. Nigeria Reply to:<c_dibia002@yahoo.com.hk> I am Charlie Dibia, former military attaché (with the rank of General) in the Embassy of the Fed. Rep. of Nigeria, Spain. Though, the Ambassador was my boss, in reality, my job is military Ambassador, and I was responsible for all Nigerian military matters and reported directly to my Commanding Officer in Nigeria. My main assignment was the rocurement and purchase of military hardware, weapons and ammunitions. Because arms dealers frequently sell to both sides in a conflict, their preferred mode of payment was CASH; Millions of Dollars routinely was sent to me via Diplomatic Courier Bags to pay for weapons and ammunitions, and other hardware, tanks, light trucks etc…over time I was able to keep aside the total sum of US$40million in the Madrid Embassy Vault. I kept the money locked in 2 big trunks, labeled as my PRIVATE PROPERTY; This ensured that no one ever opened it. In November 2001, I was recalled back to Nigeria and wrongly accused of lootting to over throw the Government of Nigeria! I was instantly court-martialed and jailed for 4 years! I just finished my term for wrongful imprisonment, and was set free two weeks ago. I was informed that I had been dismissed from the Army WITHOUT Pension or Gratuity! My International Passport was seized for "security reasons", and to make matters worse my bank Account with First Bank Nigeria Ltd., having over US$500,000.00 on current deposit was seized by the Government for "security reasons". I was therefore effectively reduced to NOTHING! Right now, I have no money, and no means to make a living. My only HOPE now is the money in Madrid, Spain, in the Embassy Vault! I have made a call to my contact at the Embassy, and my 2 TRUNKS are still there intact! And they are legally mine! I have the option of requesting them to be sent to me here in Nigeria, but it is highly probable that the Customs will open it and instantly confiscate it! I therefore need a reliable and trust worthy person who can travel to Madrid, Spain to get my money for me. My contact person at the Embassy DOES NOT KNOW that the Trunks contain any money! I will therefore give you a letter of Authority/Power of Attorney to present to the Madrid Embassy contact enable you legally represent me in Madrid, Spain and claim the 2 Trunk Boxes of money; I will also give you the original DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE of the 2 Trunk Boxes, and the contact will simply bring out the 2 Trunks from the Embassy and give them to you! Simple! You will open the Trunks to confirm that they contain the money as I said. SEEING IS BELIEVING! You will then arrange to open an account in any Bank in Europe and deposit ALL the money! You may also wish to take the 2 Trunks back to your Country and gradually deposit the cash in small amounts into your Bank Account. I look forward to a favorable response from you through my private email {c_dibia001@email.ro} If you agree to undertake this 100% legal and risk free mission for me, you will keep 25% (US$10million) of the money, and keep 75% (US$30million) for me. You will please keep my share in safe custody until I arrive your Country to claim it. If you are interested, please reply immediately, giving me the following information, and in my reply I will give you more details: (a) Your Complete name and address (b) Your Telephone and fax numbers including mobile phone Best regards, Charlie Dibia +234-804-498-8314 NB:Please first reply me with e_mail for now.
