Today I recieved yet another plea for help from overseas, in which Mr. Abdul Dagogo requires my help to liberate $32.2 million that belonged to an important Nigerian oil merchant (now unfortunately deceased). Mr. Dagogo explains:
A foreigner, Late Engineer Mark Otagaki who was an oil merchant and contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria until his death onboard the ill fated Kenyan Airways bus {A310300}was our customer at the AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK and had a balance of US$32 .2million which the bank now expects his next of kin to claim as the beneficiary.We have made valuable efforts to get his people to no avail as he had no known relatives,due to this development our management and our board of directors are making arrangements for the funds to be declared unclaimed and subsequently paid into the federal government purse and to avert this negative development me and my colleagues have decided to look for a reputable person to act as the next of kin to late Mr. Otagaki so that the funds will be released and paid into your account and this is where you come in.
Such tragedy, and such sheer coincidence to follow so closely on the heels of Mrs. Gbagbo’s loss of $50 million. Mr. Dagogo, I would love to assist you, but really, I can’t at the moment. And to other African diginaries who may be reading: please try not to misplace any more money. I can only help so many at one time.
