Dear sir/madam,
URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
I am Mr. James umunna, the first son of Late Isreal umunna,I am a citizen of
Nigeria. My father was the managing director Aluminium Company in Asaba
Delta State Nigeria, but very unfortunately he died in the year 2001 after
a protracted illness.Due to poor management of the company in my country
and for the fact that I am so dedicated to church activities, I realized
that I will be unable to manage the company and so soon it may wind up
I also realized that I am too young to manage a large company of that type
and most of the directors have already began to divert the net profit being
generated from the company, I therefore arranged with my fathers lawyer and
sold the entire company to Mr. Alan Foster from Poland at the price ofUS$15
milion dollars,Due to constant pressure from some of my relatives and also
fear of likely attack on my family to hijack thefund, I arranged with my
mother to transfer the fund into a security company in Lagos Nigeria, where
I am currently staying with my mother and other two younger sisters.However,
I am into Engineering Activities now and I have most of my time dedicated
to church activities. At the moment, we want to transfer the fund to
oversea country for investment because of the pressure i am facing with my
family.
I therefore need your assistance to enable me transfer the fund into your
private company's account over there so that we can relocate to plan for the
investment of the fund through your personal assistance. I mostly need your
assistance in investing the fund because I have little experience on
investment management of the fund. It is also my plan that after the
successful transfer of the fund into your account there, I will first
relocate my mother and other 2 sisters to stay with you while I will first
travel to United States of America to complete my Engineering school. What
I mostly need from you is honest and sincerity because this fund is my life
and the life of my family.
If you can assist us in this transaction, I will give you 20% of the total
fund while 75% will be for my family for investment,and 5% of the fund will
be maped out for any expencess that might incure during the process of
thetransfer.Please, be assured that this transaction is 100% risk free, but
you must keep it confidential. If you will assist us, kindly send me an
urgent E-mailto indicate your interest. I await your soonest response.
Best Regards.
Mr. James umunna,
{FOR THE FAMILY}
