Subject: GOOD DAY !!!
Greetings !!!
I am Davide Morgan, a member of staff in a Corporate Securities firm. We
keep valuables for high net worth individuals, blue chip corporations and
diplomatic organisations.
I am contacting you in regards to our client, the late Chief (Mrs.) Stella
Obasanjo, who died on Sunday October 23, 2005 in a surgical operation in
Spain. This client has a total deposit of Thirty Two Million United States
Dollars in our vaults. After the 9/11 incidents, our company policy do not
permit cash deposit, so he confided in me as the foreign operations officer
to make this deposit since June 2004. She did this to avoid traces f the
money to her since her husband, president Olusegun Obansanjo was against any
corruption and embezzlement of funds.
The last communication I had with her was on the 25th of August 2005, where
she was making arrangements to claim the deposit. Thereafter it was revealed
that she died of a surgical operation in Spain in October. After the
acknowledgement of her death, it became apparent that there was no claim to
her funds since she listed no next of kin in her bio-data form. She made the
deposit under the name of Guardian Trust investment (GTI) and disclosed the
content as company valuables and Antiques. This was for confidentiality and
to reduce taxes.
If no claim is made within six months, the company under its storage terms
and conditions will legally auction the content of the deposit. If
discovered that the content is cash, it will be confiscated and I would be
penalised, since I accepted the cash deposit against the company’s
regulations. As a staff, it is impossible for me to have access to the funds
or claim it myself. More so, such valuable deposits are kept at a different
branch, where we have our terminal facilities. Consequently, it is important
that I find a credible candidate to play the role of the Trustee or
representative of Guardian Trust investment to help claim the deposit. It
is on this ground that I need your assistance to claim the funds which will
be possible with the information I hold. Once this is achieved, you shall be
entitled to 50% of the total funds while I shall retain the balance 50%.
I am aware of the risks involved in this proposal, therefore I ask that you
consider the factors above and keep it strictly confidential. However, if
you feel you are unable to
fulfil this role, I request you discard of this letter.
I look forward to hearing form you.
Thank you.
Davide Morgan
