Dear Sir,
I hope this e-mail wouldn't come to you as a surprise.
I am convinced and pleased to solicit your sincere and urgent assistance over this matter.
I am MR.GLADMAN UZOEGO,Personal accounting officer to Late GARY BROWN,(AN AMERICAN NATIONAL)a local contractor with the LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA.My boss (LATE GARY BROWN)was awarded a contract worth of $50Million United states Dollars by the LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA for the maintainance and construction of roads in the states in 1999 and the contract was fully executed by my late boss.
My boss was only paid a mobalization fee of US$30 Million United States Dollars Upfront Payment to commence the contract and he was to receive the balance payment at the completion of the contract,but unfortunately my boss was involved in a fatal autocrash on his way back from the Governor's office to ask for the balance Payment of the contract sum being $20 Million United States Dollars and he suddenly died.
Following the death of LATE GARY BROWN,I have been contacted by the Contract Payment office under the LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT that the balance payment for the executed contract has been approved for payment and I am therefore adviced to present the beneficiary/next of kin for the claim of the money from their bank in-charge of contract payment.
At this juncture, I have decided to divert this $20 Million United States Dollars to another foreign account,by soliciting your assistance as a foreigner that will be presented as the beneficiary/next of kin of the fund.
I am ready to get all documentations approved in your name as the beneficiay/next of kin from the Contract Payment Office in your favour,to enable the bank release the money to any bank account you will provide for this transaction within (21)working days,as soon as I hear your positive response.
Please bear in mind that there is no risk involved in this transaction,but it requires absolute sincerity and confidentiality due to the nature of the transaction.
The percentage due to each other will be discussed later.
As per my own percentage,I will like to invest in your place which you will help and guide me in some areas of investment and will also prefare to enter into a joint venture business with you.
Waiting for your urgent response.
Yours faithfully,
GLADMAN UZOEGO
