FROM: Dr. George Damask
33, Dolphione Estate
Victoria Island Lagos
Nigeria.
ATTN: Sir,
l am Dr. George Damask, Civil Servant in the Ministry of Health.
l know this proposal will come to you as a surprise because we have not
met before
either physically or through correspondence. I got your contact from our
chamber of commerce here in Nigeria and have no doubt in your ability to
handle this proposal involving huge sum of money.My father Chief Desmond
Damask (Now Late) was the Royal Head of mycommunity, ELEME (an oil rich
town)
in Nigeria. My community produces 5.8% of the total crude oil production
in Nigeria
and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrel is paid to my father as royalty
by
the Federal Government.
My father was also the Chairman of DAMASK Special Oil Trust Fund. In his
position as the
Royal head and Chairman of the Oil Trust Fund, he made some money which
he left
for me as the only heir to inherit. The money isThirty Five Million, Five
Hundred Thousand
US Dollars(US$35.5). This Money originated from the accumulated royalties
between
1976-1998 . Due to poor banking system in Nigeria and political instability
as
a result of past Military rules (1985-1999) ,he deposited this Money in
a
Strong Room/"VAULTS" with an open beneficiary in a security company pending
when he would finish arrangement to transfer it abroad . He was planning
this
when he died late last year of Heart Attack.Just before my father died he
called
my attention to the money and charged me to look for a foreigner who would
assist
me in the transfer/investment of the funds abroad. So l would be very grateful
if you could accept to help me achieve this great objective.
I promise to give you 30% of the total funds transferred to your vital
bank account as compensation for your assistance. Five percent (5%) has
been
set aside to take care of all expenses we may incure during the transaction.
To indicateyourinterest,contact me urgently and confidentially for more
information and the roles you will play in this
business. All the legal Documents concerning this Money will be sent to
you as soon as we agreed together. Please I will appreciate that you send
your telephone/fax numbers to enable me contact you immediately for discussions.
May the almighty God bless you.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. George Damask.
