NIGERIAN SCAM LETTER FROM

PATRICK OKEKE (for Abacha)

IMPORTANT NOTE: "Patrick Okeke" is NOT the scammer's real name.  All Nigerian-style scammers use names they've invented or names of well-known citizens, never their own. 

There are honest, upstanding citizens named Patrick Okeke who have nothing whatsoever to do with these 419 letters. 

Do not make assumptions.
