Dear friend,
I am Charles Emeka,the son of Peter Emeka, the owner of Petmekason Group of
Companies Ltd,Nkissi Palace Hotels Ltd and Petmek Petrolum Company, who
died last year ago in a ghastly motor accident.
Your contact was given through your country's chambers of commerce when I
was looking for a reliable person in your country who I will send my money
to his care, and my spirit told me that you may be a very nice and reliable
person to be trusted .The source of the money,As I told you that my father
died last year ago and he is very rich man here in Nigeria and he has two
wives and my mother is his last wife and his first wife has five children,
three boys and two girls,and my mother has only two children me and my
younger sister and I am 27 years old.
After the burial ceremony of my father, we now decided to share his
wealth,our senior brother who is the son of my father's first wife said that
they are going to take 70% of my fathers wealth while I, my mother and my
younger sister will have only 30% of the wealth then I refused and decided
to contact my fathers lawyer. I thank God that my father wrote a solid will
on how his wealth will be shared if he died, the family lawyer went to the
security company and brought the will .
What my father wrote in the will is that his wealth will be shared
50-50,fifty is for my fathers first wife and her children and fifty is for
me,my mother and my younger sister.We have now shared every thing fifty -
fifty,and for that my senior brother is no more happy with me,he is looking
for a way to set me up or eliminate me, for that I and my mother decided to
live this country [NIGERIA] and come over your country to stay.We have our
own share of $12.5 million US dollars and it is now intact with us.
We now decided to send the money out of this country through a diplomatic
means from security company to your country as computer associries to your
care.We have finalised all the nesscery arrangement on how to send this
money from security company to your country.What I need from you is your
full name and address where the consignment will be send to because no body
will know the content of the box excpet you,then you lodge it in
your account, when we come over there you will assist us to invest it
wisely.
Again I would like to know how much we will pay you for assisting us, To me
we will give you 20% of the total money if you help us to keep this money
safe in your care. I hope that
you will accept this percentage but if not,then let me know how many
percentage you will
like to take.Your assistance is highly needed.Waiting to hear from you for
more clearifications,
reply to me through this email :charsemeka@yahoo.com
Thanks and God bless.
Yours truly
Charles Emeka.
