Dear Sir,
I hope this e-mail wouldn't come to you as a surprise. Having gone through
your profile, I am convinced and pleased to solicit your
sincere and urgent assistance over this matter.
I am Barrister Michael Otu, an Attorney to one late .Mr M. Blair macel (fortunately
his name was same as yours) local contractor with the Lagos State Government
of Nigeria. My client Late was awarded a contract worth of Twenty-Five Million
United States Dollars (25,000,000:00USD) by the Lagos state Government of
Nigeria for the maintenance and constructionof roads in the states in 1999
and the contract was fully executed by my late client.
My client has been paid Fifteen Million United States Dollars from the contract
and he was to receive the balance payment of the contract, but unfortunately
my client was involved in a fatal auto accident with hisentire family on
Sagamu Express Road where he eventually lost hislife and his two kids and
wife. This was in 25th of December of
2001.
Sequel to the death of late client, there is every need to present a next
of kin to Lagos State Government so that they can release the
balance of his contract money. Already the CONTRACT PAYMENT OFFICE under
the Lagos State Government has contacted me that the balance payment for
the executed contract, which has been approved for payment, is ready for
collection.
I am therefore asked to present the beneficiary/next of kin for the claim
of the money (draft) from their office. At this juncture, I have decided
to divert this Ten Million United States Dollars to a foreigner who will
be presented to LSG, by soliciting the assistance of a reliable individual
(A Foreigner) that will be presented as the beneficiary/next of kin of the
fund.
I will prepare all legal documents in your name as the successor /next of
kin from our Federal High Court to back up the claim on your behalf which
will enable Lagos State Government to release the money to me
on your behalf as the known next of kin to my late client. As soon as I
hear your positive response; action will commence.
Please bear in mind that there is no risk involved in this transaction,
but it requires absolute sincerity and confidentiality
due to the nature of the transaction.
I am willing to give you 35% of the fund as a reward foryour assistance
in this transaction and I have set aside 5% of the money to take care of
any expenses that will be involved locally or internationallyduring the
process of executing the business. I will want you to respond to my email
on with your private phone numbers for quick communication. I look forward
to your swift response. please contact me with this e-mail address (macela42001@yahoo.com)for
security reason,
Regards,
Barrister MACEL Obu
