Subject: From Chris Zuma
From, Chris & Associates,
No. 12 Addin Avenue,
Off Rova Rivers
Lagos Nigeria.
Dear Sir,
I am barrister Chris Zuma, of Chris & Associates. I am the attorney to a
late engineer/ contractor to the federal government of Nigeria who died
three years ago in a motor accident on his way to a contract site along
benin-asaba express road. I withhold his name for security reason. This
engineer had a fixed deposit account worth $17m (seventeen million Us
dollars) with San Bros Trust $ Securities (a member of the Nigeria stock
exchange) before his death.
As a matter of fact, I was personally his lawyer that handles every document
that is covering this deposit. Now that he is dead, and the funds have been
matured for clearance but without anybody to claim this funds on his behalf
or as a next of kin to the late engineer/contractor. Hence, I contact you to
act as his next of kin so that the finance company can transfer the funds to
any account you shall provide as the next of kin to the late
engineer/contractor for our mutual benefits.
If you are interested in this transaction, please kindly contact me through
my most confidential email address (chriszuma123@yahoo.com) so that I can
explain more to you concerning this transaction and how and what you will do
for the funds to be remitted into any account you will provide as the next
of kin to my late client and also discuss on how we are going to share the
funds after it has been transferred to the account you will provide.
I thank you in advance for your understanding, and hope to hear from you as
soon as possible.
Kind regards,
Barrister Chris Zuma.
