FROM DR. AKU OBI.
DEPUTY MANAGER,TREASURY OF
GLOBAL BANK PLC.
IKEJA BRANCH LAGOS
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you in strict Confidence and I know that my letter will
come to you as a great Surprise,owing to the fact that we have never met
before. I am Dr Aku Obi the immediate personal Friend to late Mr.Kong Thang
Lee,a citizen of the United States of America,though a korean by birth who
lived and worked here in Nigeria until his untimely death via an E.A.S Bac
1-11-500 airliner that crashed on May 4th 2002,in Kano
State, northern part of Nigeria, killing all 149 passengers on board including
Mr.Kong .
SEE: [http://www.usafricaonline.com/ngrplane.crash]for full details about
the crash.
Before his death,Lastly he was a Director (Special Operations)with AGIP
ENERGY SERVICES NIGERIA LTD.Recently,during one of my routine checks of
his official documents of which I had access,I discovered that my former
client in 1999 deposited a whooping sum of $10,000.000.00 (Ten million Dollars)without
a "WILL"in one of the Finance Comp any here in Nigeria of which I have the
Deposit Certificate in my possession.According to
the Nigerian law of Inheritance, itstipulates that at the expiration of
5(five)years after establishment of facts about the death of a person, the
law accordingly stipulates that an official representative is entitled to
the wealth of the deceased on the condition of being the Next of Kin of
which he or she bears the same surname with the deceased person.
It also states that if at the end of such period there was no such person
to represent or claim such money or if nobody applies to claim ownership
of the such as well, the money will thereby revert to the Government. It
is on the above subject that I swung into action to avert this negative
trend since I know of such law, and in order not to allow such sad development
to occur.I have as a result of this made some positive efforts to locate
any of his relatives that could still be alive to date, for the purpose
of turnin g over to such person the Deposits and investments that he left
behind, but none has been fruitful so far.
As a result of this and upon my conviction that his family tree might have
gone extinct and going by the report I obtained from his immigration data
available with both the Finance Company where he deposited his money and
the Company where he worked,he had no relative known nor had any wife or
children that is registered with his country's embassy here.
In the light of the foregoing, and after doubt that he may not have any
relatives left,I now see it as a challenge and moral question of whether
to allow the Finance Company where he Deposited his money to appropriate
it to themselves,because of the belief that he has no surviving relatives,or
any one to demand for and collect this money from the Finance Institution.
In order to avert this negative development,I now seek your assistance to
stand as Next of Kin to my late client beca use of the similarity of having
the same surname with him so that the fund will be released and paid in
your favor as the Beneficiary/Next of Kin according to the law.
The advantages of you having the same surname with Him will indeed enable
us collect this fund deposited in the Finance Company here in Lagos, Nigeria
for our mutual benefit,I therefore, assure you of a risk free business deal.
All the necessary documents and papers for validating and uthenticating
the legality to get this fund paid in your favor will be
carefully worked out in the course of transfeering this money in your favor.
I have earlier put this Notice to the Finance Company where this money is
deposited that soon my clients Next of Kin will come to claim the money.In
response,they agreed,but asked me to do so very quickly,or have the account
frozen and the fund forfeited because of the maturity date. I,therefore,
solicit for your interest to enable us,along side your full support and
assistance,transfer this funds into your nominated
choice account. Kindly send me your telephone and fax numbers for further
details about this transaction. I sincerly look forward to receiving your
urgent reply to this offer.

Dr Aku Obi
