URGENT REQUEST
From Barr.Steve Nwa.
Please you are to reply with this E-mail: barrstevenwa@sify.com
Attn: Sir/Madam.
I do hope my letter will not embarrass you since there was no previous Correspondence
held with you. My getting your address is the handwork of the almighty God.
Since then, I have been very much hopeful that you will assist me irrespective
of the fact that the present world is full of dishonesty and distrust.
My Name is Barrister Steve Nwa(SAN), a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney
to mrs. Ann Parker, a national of your country,. I have an urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you.On December 8, 1999, an American
Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,
Mrs. Ann Parker. made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar
months, valued at US$14.6,000,000.00(Fourteen Million, Six Hundred thousand
Dollars) in a bank. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to her
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and
finally i discovered from her contract employers, the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation that Mrs. Ann Parker. died from a ghastly automobile
accident.On further investigation, I found out that she died without making
a WILL, and all attempts to trace her next of kin was fruitless.I therefore
made further investigation and discovered that Mrs. Ann Parker. did not
declare any next of kin or relations in all her official documents, including
her Bank Deposit paperwork in her Bank. This sum of US$14.6,000,000.00 is
still sitting in her Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the
principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to
claim it. According to Nigerian Law, at theexpiration of 5 (five) years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody
applies to claim this fund Consequently,
My proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next
of kin to Mrs. Ann Parker. so that the fruits of this woman's labuor will
not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple,
I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address, your
Telephone and fax number so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary
documents and affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin.
I will drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary
documents and letter of probate/ administration in your favour for the transfer.
I would need you as a Foreigner acting as the next of kin and sole benefactor
to the inheritance of Mrs. Ann Parker. to travel and claim this money in
a SECURITY COMPANY based in Europe which is used by her bank as an offshore
payment center to the bank. The money will be paid to you for us to share
in the ratio of 50% for me and 40% for you then 10% for any expensee that
may come up. There is no risk at all as all the pape rwork for this transaction
will be done by me with my position as Attorney guarantees the successful
execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and 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. Am waiting your urgent reply
Thanks and regards.
Barr. Steve Nwa.
