Dear
May the blessings of the almighty be with you? I got your email from the
Internet and must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere
proposal.
I am Mr. Jubril, a citizen of Nigeria West Africa. The only child of late
Mr. and Mrs. Ahmed, My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in sub African
region based in Nigeria, and Ghana. His business associates poisoned him
to death.
Before the death of my father on 29th august 2003 in a private hospital
here in Lagos, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he
has a sum of us$9.500.000.00(nine million five hundred thousand united states
dollars) left in a suspense bank account here in Nigeria with the City Express
Bank Plc. That he used my name as his only son for the next of kin in deposit
of the fund.
He handed to me the lodgment slip, which was issued to him by the bank.He
also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned
by his business associates, that i should seek for a foreign partner in
a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment
purpose.
He instructed the bank not to release the money for me while I am still
in Nigeria or into a Nigerian bank because he thought I would disobey him
and use the money here in Nigeria, therefore I am honorably seeking your
assistance in the following ways:
1. Let me invest this money in your company.
2. To provide a bank account where this money would be transferred
and secured.
3. To assist me in getting a conducive accommodation and education.
I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as your commission and assistance
for your effort input after the successful transfer of this fund to your
nominated account overseas.
Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me, as i believe
that this transaction would be concluded within seven (7) days you signify
your interest to assist me.
I will appreciate you send me email to: jubrilax@yahoo.com with the following
information.
1. Your contact address
2. Your mobile tel /fax numbers
I need your urgent response
Thanks
Yours faithfully
