Dear friend,
Compliment of the new year. Hope all is well with you
First I must solicit your confidence in this transactin,this is by
virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret.Though
I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive
and worried,but I am assuring you that there is no problem neither is there
any risk involved in this transaction.I have decided to contact you due
to the urgency of this transactin,as I beleived that with your co-operation
and trust the sky will be our limit soonest.
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you.I am Barrister Rohdes
Jones,I came to know you in my private search for a reliable and reputable
person to handle this confidential ransaction,which involves the investment
of a some amount of money with the aid of a foreign partner requiring maximum
confidence.
THE PROPOSITION
A foreigner,an American,Late Engr.John Creek(snr)An oil merchant with the
mobil oil here in Nigeria, untill his death couple of years back in the
Kenya Air Bus (A310-300)flight kq430, Deposited with standard trust bank
of Nigeria some amount of money worth us$32,000,000(Thirty two millon United
States Dollars),the bank now expects a next of kin or any of his relatives
as beneficiary of this money and Valuable efforts are being made by the
bank to get in touch with any of the Creek's family or relatives but to
no avail and they just contacted me as his personal lawyer before his untimely
death to look for any of his relatives to come for the claims.So it is because
of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of Late Engr
John Creek (snr)'s next of kin (for his records I have with me here,he had
no wife or children that is known to me).
The management under the influence of our chairman and members of the
board of directors,have made arrangements for the fund to be declared "Unclaimed"and
subsequently be shared amoung themselves if after the end of this January
2005 no body come for the claim.
So In order to abort this negative idea, I now seek your permission to
have you stand as next of kin to late Engr John Creek (snr) so that the
fund US$32,000,000 will be released and transfered into your account as
the beneficiary.
All documents and proofs to enable you get this fund will be secured from
the probate registry here on your behalf.So be assured that this project
is risk free envolvement.
So it may interest you that 30% of the total money will be for you for your
assistance.Your share remains while the rest will be for investment purposes
anywhere according to agreement between me and your goodself.
So as soon as I receive an acknowledgement of this offer,I will furnish
you with the necessary steps to actualize this aim Please do not hasitate
to get back to me immediately.
Looking forward to your urgent response.
Best regards,
Rohdes Jones.
