Dear Beloved,
My name is Mr.Femi Lekwas am a nurse with the Shell
petroleum
Development
company hospital here in portharcourt Nigeria.I was
opportuned on one
of my
numerous night duties to attend to a patient late Mrs.
joyce Chambers,a
widow and an American by birth.
She died here in the hospital on the 13th of september
2004 of cardiac
Arrest after long treatment of stroke and cancer.She
was a very
religious
woman and because of my night prayer sessions with her
we became very
close
and she trusted me with a lot of her personal
details.Mrs Chambers and
her
husband were childless. Her late husband Marvin
Chambers was an
engineer
with the Shell Petroleum development company[SPDC] and
before his death
he
deposited in a coded consignment the sum of 15million
dollars with a
security company in Europe.This funds remained
unclaimed by
mrs.chambers
due to her illness, since she was the sole beneficiary
of this funds.
During my period with her in the hospital i became
mrs.chambers close
confidant and through this i came into contact with
the documents
related to
this deposit.After her death,I kept in my posession
the following
documents[A]Original copy of the deposit certificate
[B]Original copy
of her
American passport [C]the CODE word[D]and i have
recently been able to
get
the original copy of her death certificate.
Since this an oppourtunity for a brake through in
life,i have verified
these
documents and the possibility of claiming this fund
from the security
company in Europe.The possibility is 100%.Mrs Chambers
was an American
it
will be much proper for a non-nigerian to claim this
fund and moreover
i
dont want my hospital which is funded by SHELL
PETROLEUM to have the
knowledge of my involvement in this transaction.I need
your asistance
to
claim this funds and at the same time plead for your
utmost
confidentiality
and secrecy to this whole transaction.i have made
every arrangement and
i
know that this transaction is 100% risk free.I want
you to reply
immediately
with your telephone for voice contact and personal
email or fax so that
i
can send you a scanned copy of the above named
documents and give u a
full
detail on how this transaction will be carried out.
I am ready to share the proceeds 50/50 and i will
provide you with my
personal account so that you can transfer my share to
me at the
completion
of the transaction.This is my direct telephone number
+234-8121252 and
email: femilekwasx1@yahoo.com
Your immediate reply is required to stop me from
searching for somebody
else.
Regards
Femi Lekwas
