FROM: MR. Sunday Uche
I have an urgent and confidential business proposal to make you. I
do seriously need your help because I am disabled from a motor
accident and cannot travel abroad on Doctor’s orders. I was an Oil consultant
based in the United Kingdom, and because I helped a lot of foreign Crude Oil
Companies to get Crude Oil Lifting Rights and lucrative Oil Contracts from
Nigeria, I was able to amass a fortune worth about USD10million. On 21st December, 2004, I left the UK finally with my family, and came back to Nigeria. But because of the unfavourable political and economic climate in Nigeria, and for security reasons, I left my money total USD10million in a
Security Safe Deposit vault in London. On 22nd December, I and my
whole family i was involved in a very bad accident on our way home to our Village at Benin, about 700 km from Lagos, Nigeria; I lost my entire family in the accident, and I myself fell into a coma since then… I eventually recovered from coma, and was discharged from the hospital two weeks ago. I have no money with which to sponsor any one in Nigeria to undertake the trip for me; in any case , my extended family here abandoned me in hospital when they realized that the money which I came back with had been spent on hospital bills; I am currently living on the charity of the church. And now, I need
your help to collect this money in London and invest it in a profitable venture
abroad; I cannot bring in this money into Nigeria for fear of seizure by the
Government. If the money is properly and profitably invested abroad, I intend to leave ! Nigeria permanently. Can I count on your help? If you agree to help me, I will send you by Post/courier the ELECTRONIC CARD KEY of my vault so that you
can travel to London and open the vault; You will then remove the money total USD10 million and transfer it to your Bank Account. For your help and
assistance, you will keep 25% of the money for your self and keep 75% for me in safe custody until I travel to
meet you and invest my share… If you agree to help me, please reply giving me the following information:
1. Your Complete name and Street (POSTAL) address
2. Your Phone and fax number, including mobile
3. Your confidential email address
TO PREVENT THE KEY AGAINST LOSS IN TRANSIT, PLEASE KINDLY STATE
YOUR CORRECT
NAME AND STREET ADDRESS… THIS IS NOT A JOKE OR A HOAX! YOU WILLBE ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THIS EMAIL IS A GENUINE 100% LEGITIMATE PROPOSAL, ONCE YOU REPLY
AS ABOVE. Once I receive your reply stating your street postal address as
above, I will send you the Safe Deposit
Vault Key by EXPRESS MAIL, and I will also forward to you more
details of this transaction by email. Details will include the address, contact
details of the Safe Deposit Company in London where my money is currently stored
Best regards,
Mr. Sunday Uche
