Attn:Sir,
This is a request letter from the "Dr Cludy Williams, Civil Servant in
the Ministry of Health." to ascertain your interest and capability in
co-operating with me in actualizing and repatriation of funds to your
country.
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not
met personally and we have not had any previous correspondences but was
borne out of my sincere burning desire to establish a business/mutual
relationship with you. I got your contact through my private search here in
Nigeria and decided to write you since I felt that this is the only medium
to reach you for l hope I will not regret
ever approaching you because this present world is filled of dishonesty and
mistrust.
My father Chief Silas Williams (Now Late) was the Royal Head of my
community, ELEME (an oil rich town) in Nigeria.
My community produces 5.8% of the total crude oil production in Nigeria
and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrel is paid to my father as royalty
by the Federal Government.
My father was also the Chairman of ISAMA Special Oil Trust Fund. In his
position as the Royal head and Chairman of the Oil Trust Fund, he made
some money which he left for me as the only heir to inherit.
The money is Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars(US$12.5million
This Money originated from the accumulated
royalties between 1987-2003 .Due to poor banking system in Nigeria and
political instability as a result of past Military rules (1985-2001) , he
deposited this Money in a Strong Room/"VAULTS" with an open beneficiary in a
security company pending when he would finish arrangement to transfer it
abroad.
He was planning this when he died late last year of Heart
Attack. Just before my father died he called my attention to the money
and charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist me in the
transfer/investment of the funds abroad. So l would be very grateful if you
could accept to help me achieve this great objective.
This is the Last quota of the year ending for the Bank to finally
divert the fund.I promise to give you 20% of the total funds transferred to
your vital bank account as compensation for your assistance. Five percent
(5%)has been set aside to take care of all expenses we may incure during the
transaction.
My interest in this abandoned deposit is thus:
(1) To see that this abandoned deposit is not handed over to the
corrupt Government officials of President Olusegun Obansanjo.
(2) To empower you as the Next of Kin to my Father and whom he has Willed
the said deposit before his death.
(3) To repatriate the fund to a reliable overseas partner's bank
account for high yield investment portfolio.
We can perfectly and successfully implement this project within 9 bank
working days if you provide the necessary overseas infrastructure
required to realize this objective. The modality for disbursing the fund
will be discussed fully with you the Bank-Account owner/provider.
Please bear in mind that this entire transaction will be 100% Risk -
free and legitimate as the funds will be coming to you as an INHERITANCE
CLAIM.
If this proposition is acceptable by you, respond to me ASAP but if
not, please do not take advantage of it to betray me as i am fully aware of
the abuses in the Internet as regards to Frauds.
If acceptable by you, send me your private telephone/ fax numbers for
us to have a detailed discussion.
Awaiting your prompt and candid response.
Sincerely,
Dr Cludy Williams
