LIBERTY CHAMBERS.
#117A OLUWA CRESENT,
FCT, ABUJA,
DATE: 06TH, APRIL, 2006.
FROM THE DESK OF:
BABATUNDE DADAH OSHODI.
Good day,
It is with trust and confidence that I make this urgent, important and confidential business proposal to you. I am a Forty Seven (47) year old Attorney in practice.
One of my clients was late MR. SEOM GIM TCHII, a Taiwanese National (Now deceased). Three years ago, MR. TCHII secured a contract from the Federal Government of my country. He received mobilization fee and successfully executed the contract, but the balance of the contract payment is still unpaid. MR. TCHII was still pursuing the release of this money, when on June 2003, MR. TCHII, his wife and only daughter died in a ghastly motor accident in Kaduna. They were buried immediately according to Islamic rite.
The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has now directed (with a provision in this year's budget) the payment of all Contractors who have satisfactorily executed their Contracts. Whose payment is by quarter disbursements. MR. TCHII'S Contract payment is among those approved for release this quarter. And as his personal Attorney before his death, I have been officially notified and instructed by the federal government to forward particulars of MR. TCHII'S next of kin, so that the money can be remitted into his/her account.
However, as attorney and close confidant of MR. TCHII, 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. TCHII'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 MR. TCHII'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 and please observe with utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
For prompt action, contact me urgently through mail: bab_osho4@msn.com
REGARDS,
Babatunde Oshodi.
