Subject: Attention:Salazar
Dear Salazar,
I know this message will come to you as a surprise because we have not met before, but please do take this very seriously because this is for
real.
My name is Mitch Peters and i am the personal assistant to the late Mr Edward Salazar my late boss Mr Edward Salazar spent all his life here
in Lagos,Nigeria. He was one of the richest contractors based in Nigeria before he died on 26th of December 2004 together with his only
daugther Cynthia at Tsunami Indonesia.It was a tragic Incident.May there souls rest in perfect peace.
The reason i am telling you this
is becuase since Mr Edward Salazar died, a lot of letters and faxes have been coming to me the personal assistant to inform the next of kin to the late Mr Edward Salazar for the collection of $10 million
united states dollars(Ten million USD) which is his balance for the road construction contract he executed for the Nigerian government.Late Mr Edward Salazar has no next of kin, he died together with his only child Cynthia who is the next of kin.
I know all this because i lived with him for 20 good years and he lost his parents when he was a child.He confided in me most confidential things about his life before his untimely demise.So this is what i
want the both of us to do immediately, i will need to present you as the next of kin since i am in possesion of all documents and files of the late Mr Edward Salazar which will cover you up fully as the next of
kin.The contract payment commitee is waiting for me to inform the next of kin of late Mr Edward Salazar for him or her to contact the payment commitee for them to release the $10 million united states dollars to
the next of kin.
Anybody i present as the next of kin for the funds backed with the documents at my disposal will be given the funds.I am the only one in the position to present Mr Edward Salazar next fo kin.This is going
to be a quick transaction if only you cooperate with me.There is absolutely nothing to fear in this transaction since i am invovled.The last letter the contract payment commitee wrote to me yesterday was
that if i cannot inform the next of kin, to contact them for the collection of the $10 million, that the funds will be sent into their government account and it will be used to purchase arms for their soldiers.
I am just coming back from their office before writing
you this letter, i told them that the next of kin will contact them very soon for the collection of funds.So i want the both of us to do this transaction together and collect the $10 million dollars.When the
funds have been collected we must remove 10% of the total amount and give to charity homes. You and my humble self will now share the remaining equally
after deducting costs and expenses.
Please note that this is highly confidential as i do not wish for any other person to get hold of this information and jeopardize our claims.If you are to do this transaction with me kindly send me your
telephone number so that i can reach you.
I await to hear from you as soon as possible.
Mitch Peters
