Good day,
It is with trust and confidence that I make this urgent, important and
confidential business
Proposal to you. I am a Fifty one (51) year old Attorney in practice here in
Nigeria.
One of my clients was late MR. Azaidj Oman Ka'bah, an Iranian National (Now
deceased). Three years ago, MR. Ka'bah secured a contract from the Federal
Government of Nigeria. He received mobilization fee and successfully
executed the contract, but the balance of the contract payment is still
unpaid. MR. KA'BAH was still pursuing the release of this money, when on
June 2003, MR. KA'BAH, his wife and only daughter died in a ghastly motor
accident in Lagos. They were buried immediately according to Muslim rite.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has now directed (with a provision in this
year's budget) the payment of all Contractors who have satisfactorily
executed their Contracts. The payment is by quarterly disbursements. MR.
KA'BAH'S Contract payment is among those approved for release this quarter.
As his personal Attorney before his death, I have been officially notified
and instructed to forward particulars of MR. KA'BAH'S nextof kin so that the
money can be remitted into his/her account. However, as attorney and close
confidant of MR. KA'BAH, I know that he did not leave any WILL (because of
his sudden death).
This money will therefore be paid into the account of whoever I present as
MR. KA'BAH'S next of kin with proof of affinity, affidavits and other
documents.
Your nationality does not matter as all modalities have been concluded to
present the person as KA'BAH'S next of kin and consequently, the beneficiary
of the fund. This transaction will take about 14 working days to conclude as
soon as you indicate your interest. For prompt action, contact me urgently
through email: pego@indiatimes.com
Regards,
Barrister Peter Ego
