VIRTUE OF ITS NATURE AS BEING UTTERLY CONFIDENTIAL AND TOP SECRET. I AM
ASSURING YOU THAT ALL WILL BE WELL AT THE END OF THE DAY. I HAVE
DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU BY EMAIL DUE TO THE URGENCY OF THIS TRANSACTION.
I AM BARRISTER MRS ROSE OKON. I CAME TO KNOW OF YOU IN MY PRIVATE SEARCH
FOR A RELIABLE AND REPUTABLE PERSON TO HANDLE THIS CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS,
WHICH INVOLVES THE TRANSFER OF THE ABOVE MONEY TO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT FROM
THE UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC.
MY CLIENT, ENGR. PETER LOMBARD FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WAS THE
PRESIDENT OF GLOBAL OIL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE DIED
FIVE YEARS AGO IN A GHASTLY AIR CRASH WITH HIS WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN AND
HE BANKED WITH UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC. AND HAD A BALANCE OF FIFTEEN MILLION
U.S DOLLARS {$15M} IN HIS BANK ACCOUNT, WHICH THE BANK NOW UNQUESTIONABLY
EXPECTS IT TO BE CLAIMED BY ANY AVAILABLE FOREIGN NEXT-OF-KIN OF THE LATE
BENEFICIARY . ALL THE EFFORTS BEING MADE BY ME AND THE BANK TO GET IN TOUCH
WITH ANY OF LATE PETER LOMBARD FAMILY OR RELATIVES SINCE FIVE YEARS NOW
HAS NOT BEING SUCCESSFUL .
BECAUSE OF THE IMPOSSIBILITY FOR THE BANK TO LOCATE ANY OF HIS FOREIGN NEXT-OF-KIN
THAT MAKES THE MANAGEMENT OF THE BANK MADE AN ARRANGEMENT FOR THE FUNDS
TO BE DECLARED UNCLAIMABLE AND SUBSEQUENTLY BE DONATED FOR THE PURCHASE
OF ARMS AND AMMUNITION TO FURTHER ENHANCE THE WAR IN AFRICA.
IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS NEGATIVE DEVELOPMENT BY THE BANK, I NOW SEEK YOUR
PERMISSION TO HAVE YOU STAND AS THE NEXT-OF-KIN TO THE LATE PETER LOMBARD
WHO IS MY CLIENT SO THAT THIS $15M WOULD BE TRANSFERRED AND PAID INTO YOUR
BANK ACCOUNT AS THE FOREIGN BENEFICIARY NEXT-OF-KIN. ALL PROVES TO ENABLE
YOU GET THIS FUND WILL BE CAREFULLY WORKED OUT AND I AM ASSURING YOU OF
A 100% RISK FREE INVOLVEMENT BECAUSE I AM HIS LAWYER.
THIS FUND WILL BE SHARED AFTER IT HAS BEING TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR
ACCOUNT IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS.
{1} 30% OF THIS FUNDS WILL BE FOR YOU FOR ACTING AS THE BENEFICIARY OF THIS
FUNDS.
{2} 70% WILL BE FOR ME WHICH WILL BE USE FOR INVESTMENT IN YOUR
COUNTRY.
