ALTERNATIVE EMAIL:barrcletusben1@yahoo.com
DEAR ,
I AM BARRISTER CLETUS BEN A LEGAL PRACTITIONER AND HEAD OF CHAMBERS (ELITE
CHAMBERS) WITH OFFICES IN NIGERIA AND GERMANY,AN ATTORNEY TO ONE DEACESED,
SEAN MILLER WHO WORKED WITH AN OIL COMPANY (OSMOG MINNING/PETROLEUM COMPANY)
LOCATED IN NIGERIA.
MR MILLER BEFORE HIS DEMISE WAS THE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE ABOVE COMPANY
AND AS A MATTER OF POLICY HE WAS INDEBTED TO THE SUM $ 16.3 MILLION (US
DOLLARS) INCLUDING LIFE INSURANCE.
HE DEID AS A RESULT OF THE BOMB BLAST THAT HAPPENED HERE IN NIGERIA SOMETIME
IN JANUARY 27TH 2002 AT IKEJA CANTONMENT WHERE MY CLIENT INCLUDING THE WIFE
AND HIS TWO LOVELY KIDS WERE ONE OF THE VICTIMS WHO DIED IN THE CANAL AND
EVER SINCE THEN, THIS CASE HAS BEEN IN THE COURT.
DUE TO THE RESTRUCTURING OF THE BOARD OF THE COMPANY IT WAS THEREFORE
DIFFICULT TO DRAW ANY CLEAR AND DISTINCTIVE LINE BETWEEN MY DEACESED CLIENT
AND OSMOG MINNING/PETROLEUM COMPANY.
THE MONEY WAS MEANT TO BE PAID BY THE DEFUNCT BOARD OF THE COMPANY, GIVING
THE ABOVE SCENARIO, WE RESORTED TO THE LEGAL AUTHORITIES FOR APPROPRIATE
ACTION.AND AFTER SERIES OF HEARINGS, THE TRIBUNAL RESTATED WHAT IT
CONSIDERED THE TRUE INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COMPANY TO MY CLIENT MR S MILLER. IS
$ 16.3 MILLION (US DOLLARS).
BUT UNDER THE CODE OF CONDUCT BUREAU, REMITTANCE OF SUCH AMOUNT OF MONEY
WOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACT ESTABLISHING THE BUREAU WHICH PERMIT
REMITTANCE TO CORPORATION OR INDIVIDUAL BASED ON PROOF OF SERVICE,
TRANSACTION WITHIN OR OUT SIDE THE COUNTRY. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEFUNCT BOARD
DID AWAY WITH DOCUMENT OF SERVICE TO FOIL THEIR INCONPETENCY
ANDUNACCOUNTABILTY.
AS A RESULT OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS, I RESORTED TO SEARCH FOR A
CONPETENT,TRUSTWORTHY AND REPUTABLE FOREIGNER THAT I WILL PRESENT AS THE
NEXT OF KIN IN ORDER THAT THE MONEY BE PAID INTO YOUR ACCOUNT FOR EASY ACESS
BETWEEN YOU AND I FOR NEGOTIATION.
THE NEED TO CONTACT YOU IS PREDICATED ON THAT MOST OF THE CONTRACTS WHERE
EXECUTED BY FOREIGN FIRMS DURING HIS SERVICE.YOUR QUICK RESPONSE UPON YOUR
_EXPRESSION OF INTREST (EOI) WILL ENABLE ME STOP SEARCH FOR A PARTNER.
CALL/REPLY THROUGH THE E-MAIL ABOVE FOR FUTHER BRIEFING.
BEST REGARDS
