Attn: Sir/Madam.
I am Barrister Livi Chima.(SAN), a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to
mrs. Ann Parker, a national of your country,. I have an urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you.On December 8, 2001, an American
Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,
Mrs. Ann Parker. made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar
months, valued at US$14.6,000,000.00(Fourteen Million, Six Hundred thousand
Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to her
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and
finally i discovered from her contract employers, the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation that Mrs. Ann Parker. died from a ghastly automobile
accident. On further investigation, I found out that she died without making
a WILL, and all attempts to trace her next of kin was fruitless.I therefore
made further investigation and discovered that Mrs. Ann Parker. did not
declare any next of kin or relations in all her official documents,
including her Bank Deposit paperwork in her Bank. This sum of
US$14.6,000,000.00 is still sitting in her Bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever
come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5
(five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian
Government if nobody applies to claim this fund. Consequently, my proposal
is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to
Mrs. Ann Parker. so that the fruits of this woman's labuor will not get into
the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like
you to provide immediately your full names and address so that i will
prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which will put you in place
as the next of kin. I will drafting and notarization of the WILL and to
obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/ administration in your
favour for the transfer. I would need you as a Foreigner acting as the next
of kin and sole benefactor to the inheritance of Mrs. Ann Parker. to travel
and claim this money in a SECURITY COMPANY based in EUROPE which is used by
her bank as an offshore payment center to the bank. The money will be paid
to you for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you then 10%
for any expensee that may come up. There is no risk at all as all the
paperwork for this transaction will be done by me with my position as
Attorney guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately. Upon your response, I shall then
provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you
understand the transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us
because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.(livichima@indiatimes.com)
Thanks and regards.
Barr. Livi Chima.
