Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL $18.5MILLION BUSINESS
From: Doctor Suleiman Gambo
TEL: 234-804-227-7697
Dear Sir,
My name is Doctor Suleiman Gambo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN),an
international attorney based in West Africa.. I have urgent and very
confidential business proposal which I know might interest you. A foreign
Oil cosultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
and the Mobil Oil Producing Unlimited, Engr.James Robinson, deposited his
sum of $15,500.000,00 ( Fifteen million,Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars Only), in Europe in physical cash with my full consent as his
attorney who represents his company, ROBINSON INTERNATIONAL LIMITED,based in
Lagos, Nigeria. I incorporated his above company with the Corporate Affairs
Commission of Nigeria , on 17th july 1997. He as well has an outstanding
contract payment of $18.500,000,00, (Eighteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars Only) executed with the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation,NNPC, which i want you to receive now by Certified Bank Draft,
Cashiers Check or through Swift Telegraphic Wire Tranfer as you may deem
convenient.
On May 8th, 2003,Engr.James Robonson, died in a ghastly motor accident .His
employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Mobil
Oil Producing Unlimited, who offerred him the Turn Around maintenance (TAM),
contract with the corporation that amounts to the outstanding sum of
$18,500,000,00, which he successfully executed discovered that Engr.James
Robinson, died in car accident on the highway. On further investigation,I
found out that he died without making a WILL,and all attempts to trace his
next of kin has been futile. I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that Engr.James Robinson, did not declare any next of kin or
relations in his deposit mandate both the money deposited in Europe nor the
outstanding sum of $18.5m in case of death as it occured now.
I am therefore, writing to solicit for your kind assistance and co-operation
in getting both sums of money cleared in your favour as the next of kin to
Engr.James Robinson. I have neatly worked out all necessary modalities for
this transaction and you can be assured that there is no risk involved since
i am his attorney and knows all his transactions and equally enorsed all
take off grants and contracts sums paid to him. I would not want this email
to get to you as a surprise or embarrasement, My intention is to introduce
you as the next of kin to Engr.James Robinson, and secure all relevant legal
documentary contract payment approvals in your favour.. I would like the
funds wisely invested in your country. For this reason, I want to work with
you as a trusted partner for both the sums of $18.500,000,00, here and the
$15,5million in Europe.
Should this proposal interest you, kindly call me on telephone number:
234-804-227-7697 or send me an email, to enable me commence urgent necessary
actions about this. I have resolved in my mind to give you 25% each of both
the $15,500,000,00, in Europe, and the outstanding $18,500,00,00, which i
will easily clear in your favour as his next of kin. 5% is meant to take
care of mine and yours expenses in course of actualising this transaction. I
will also give you 15% of every proceed or turn-over which the funds will
generate from investment in the future in your country till i am able to lay
hands on the money. The procedures for handling this transaction is simple,
all the documents relating to the deposit of the funds including death
certificate and an affidavit of claims will be processed and send to you. I
want you to treat this matter with utmost confidentiality, and be rest
assured that this transaction would be of mutual benefits for both of us.

and looking forward to receiving your positive response including your full
