Subject: Hello Urgent Attention
I am Temitope Obadina Cole, a private financial consultant /account
portfolio
manager.I happen to have managed a particular account for a resident
foreigner
My client was involved in the explosion in Lagos,Nigeria, on January27,
2002
which, claim many lives and property. Unfortunately, my client lost his
live
in that disaster that needed not to have happened, leaving in our care
a
reasonable amount in a Domiciliary United States Dollars Account.
The highly confidential nature of our client and our business
confidential
disposition on a client- to-client basis did not warrant us to have an
easily identifiable next of kin to this particular client. I have made
several enquiries (in American English, this word is spelled inquiries)
to
locate any of my client's relatives, either immediate or extended. This
has
proved unsuccessful.
Hence, I am contacting you. I need you to assist in securing the money
and
property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared
unserviceable by the Finance House here in Nigeria, The Finance House
has
issued a Government Mandatory Formality notice to provide the Next of
Kin or
have the account confiscated within the next one month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of his relatives, over
the
course of the last two years, I am convinced that no one is coming up
and
having satisfied the mandatory legal requirement of Beneficiary
/Next-of-kin
Notification, I now seek a reliable and trustworthy person. With
your
consent and perfect understanding, I would like to present you as the
next
of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account, valued at
Twenty One Million, Three Hundred And Twenty Thousand United States
Dollars
( $21,320,000.00), interest Inclusive, which can be paid into an
account, to
be provided by you ( preferably outside the country . in Your country?
I have all necessary documents to back up these claims as Next of Kin
on
your behalf. All I require is your honest cooperation and confidence in
me,
which I understand is not easy, it is not easy, as we have not done a
similar transaction before. Hence, the reasons I choose to call this a
transaction, As it will be based on trust to enable us see this
transaction
through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that
will protect you from any breach of the law. I would advise that you
give
this a positive consideration and get back to me via this email:
luz_tb2001@yahoo.co.uk as I would be very flexible, as well as
considerate,
in a percentage share that will be given to you for your assistance.
Upon
receipt of your response l will send to you my private number so that
you
can reach me for further discussion regarding this project.
Also,As a financial consultant and a portfolio manager. Consider
