３０億円運んでくれ

このお話しは、英語のメールを読んでもらった方が楽しいかも知れない。長くなるが、下に原文をそのまま添付しておいた。（その後届いた２件も追加しておいたので、英語のお勉強をしてみて下さい） 不思議なメールを受け取ったのは２０００年８月である。私はジャカルタに居た。ナイジェリアからのメールだった。遊びで使っているメールアドレスには、山のような危ないメールが届く。管理などしていないし、あちこちで使っているからだ。英語の変なメールは、すぐに削除してしまう。 しかし、仕事で使っているメールアドレスには、余分なメールは入ってこない。業務以外には使わないからだ。ところが、ナイジェリアからのメールは、仕事で使っているメールアドレスに飛び込んできた。だから、つい読み始めてしまった。 ３千万ドル以上の金を国外へ持ち出すのに協力してくれたら、３０％を手数料として支払うというのだ。ざっと計算すれば、すぐにわかると思うが、手数料だけで１１億円になる。 前政権の高官が残した賄賂の金で、現政権にみつからなかった分を、その妻と子供が国外に持ち出そうとしている。私も、ナイジェリアには行ったことがある。あの国を知っている人間なら、いかにもありそうな話しに思える。しかし、あまりにも額が巨額すぎる。 黙って無視するのも楽しくないので、友人達にメールを転送して、「紫煙日記」にも書いた。まもなくバンコックに居たＳさんが、私の掲示板に書き込みを入れた。友人の銀行マンが興味を持っている。ちょっと試してみたいとのことであった。すぐにナイジェリアからの怪しげなメールを友人に転送した。 それから１ヵ月後、結果を知らせるメールが届いた。かの銀行マンは、スイスで仕事をしていたらしい。スイスにある銀行に対して、政府から警告が発せられたそうだ。最近、ナイジェリアの金を国外に持ち出そうとしている動きがある。銀行は、一切タッチしないようにとの警告だったそうだ。 かくて、１１億円の儲け話は消えた。 年末に、高校時代の友人の弁護士に会った。彼に、この話しをした。すぐに彼は、２つほど事例を教えてくれた。 一人の人物は、同じようにナイジェリアからメールを受け取ったらしい。彼は、行動派であった。すぐに飛んだ。そこで、詳細な国外持ち出し手順を打ち合わせた。札束の入ったトランクも見せられたそうだ。国外持ち出しのために、２千万円ほどで香港に口座を作ることになった。彼は、その口座を準備した。 まもなく口座から金が消えた。そして、誰も居なくなった。おそらく見せられたトランクは、上の１枚だけがドル札で下には、紙が積み上げてあったのだろうと、弁護士の友人は話す。 彼の場合は、まだ良かったよと続けた。別の一人は、アメリカで受け取りの手筈を整えたらしい。すべての書類が本物であるかどうか確かめて、アメリカに飛んだ。持ち出すための小切手を、銀行窓口に提出した所で、待ち構えていた捜査員に逮捕されたそうだ。確かに小切手は本物だったそうだ。しかし、その小切手を作成した銀行の支店長が、その前に、不正送金で逮捕されていたそうだ。 Subject: PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2000 20:21:20 WAT NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION NATIONAL HEADQUATERS FALOMO-LAGOS NIGERIA.

COLLINS ALAKE (CHAIRMAN, CONTRACT AWARD COMMITTEE, (NNPC). Dear, I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha , wife to the late Nigerian head of state , general Sani Abacha who died on the 8th of June1998 while still on active duty. I am contacting you in view of the fact that we will be of great assistances to each other likewise developing a cordial business relationship. I currently have the sum of thirty five million five hundred thousand united state dollars ($35,500,000.00) which I intend to use for investment purpose overseas. This money came as a result of a pay-back contract deal between my late husband and Russian firm in our country's multi-billion dollar Ajaokuta steel plant. the Russian partners returned my husband's share of $35,500,000.00 USD after the death of my husband. Right now the new civilian government have intensified their probe on my husband's financial resources and they have revoked our licenses that allows us to own a financial and oil company. All our bank accounts and banking transaction had been suspended. My first son is facing trials and our traveling facilities had been seized temporarily. In view of these I acted very fast at the early stage of the probe to deposit the money with a security company in a safe as jewelries thereby not making it publicly the content of the safe to the company for security reasons through our close confidant working with the security company. No record ever existed concerning the money neither is the money traceable by the government because there is no documentation showing that we received such money from the Russians. Due to the current situation in my country concerning government attitude towards my family, it has become quite impossible for me to make use of this money within nor have freedom to travel, thus I seek your assistance to transfer this money out of the security company in Nigeria to your country on your consent I shall expect you to contact me urgently to enable us discuss in details about this transaction. Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this fund, I propose a commission of 15% of the the total sum to you for the expected services and assistance, your response is highly needed so as to stop me for seeking further contact for assistance. All correspondence must be through second son ALI ABACHA his private telefax No 234-1-4939187 for security reasons. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extra ordinarily confidential whatever your decision while I await your prompt response through my son. Best Regards.
