ATTENTION: CEO
This letter might surprise you because we have met neither in person
norby correspondence. But I believe it is one day that you get to know
somebody either in physical or through correspondence.
I got your contact through some discreet inquiry from the chamber of
commerce and industry, you and your organization were revealed as being
quite astute in private entrepreneurship, one has no doubt in Your
abilityto handle a financial business transaction.
However, I am the first son of His Royal Majesty, Chief prince Ubah,
and the traditional Ruler of Eleme Province in the oil area of Enugu
State ofNigeria. I am making this contact to you in respect of
US$60,000,000.00
(sixty million United States Dollars) which I inherited from my late
father, this money was accumulated from royalties paid to my father as
compensation by the oil firms located in our area as a result of oil
presence on our land which hamper agriculture Which is our major source
of livelihood.
Unfortunately my father died from protracted diabetes. But before his
death he called my attention and informed me that he lodged some funds
ona two boxes with a security firm with an open beneficiary status. The
Lodgment Security Code Number was also revealed to me, he then advised
meto look for a reliable business partner abroad, who will assist me in
investing the money in a lucrative business as a result of economic
instability in Nigeria. So this is the main reason why I am contacting
youfor us to move this money from the security firm to any country of
your choice for investments purpose.
So I will like you to be the ultimate beneficiary, so that the funds
can be moved in your name and particulars to any country of your choice
where it will be claimed and invested.
Hence my father have had intimated the security firm personnel that the
beneficiary of the Box is his foreign partner whose particulars will be
forwarded to the firm when due. But I will guide you accordingly.
As soon as the fund reaches, I will then come over to meet you in
person,
so that we can discuss physically on Investment potentials. Based on
this assistance I and my family have unanimously decided to give you
20% of the total money, 5% for charity homes and 5% for expenses, which
may ariseduring the transaction, fax and phone bills inclusive. The
balance of 70% you will invest and manage for my family.
I hereby guarantee you that this is not government money, it is not
drug money and it is not money from arms deal. Though you have to
maintain high degree of confidentiality on this matter. I will give you
all proof of deposit and existence of money.
I hope this will be the beginning of a prosperous relationship between
my family and your family. Nevertheless if you are for any reason not
interested, kindly inform me immediately so that I will look for
another contact.
I am waiting for your quick response.Yours faithfully,
prince Ubah
