Subject: Your Urgent Attention is Needed
Dear friend,
Good day and compliment of the seasons to you. My Name is
Spence Aku, the eldest son of Late Ishaya Mark Aku the
former Minister of youths and sports in Nigeria I am a 27-
Year-Old-Nigerian in possession of my Late dad's properties.
I lost him in a plane crash During his trip from a meeting he
attended with some other ministers in Abuja.Since his death,
I have been in charge of his business and properties and I
have got no problem with that since I have been doing that
even before his death. I received a letter from one of his bank
in Nigeria recently notifying me of a paymment worth 47.5Million
dollars made into his account by a computer firm Named
"I.F Computer GmbH Cecinastr"37D-82205 Gilching, Germany.
The money as I read is the Balance payment from a computer
business he engaged in with the Federal Government of Nigeria
during the NIGHA 2002(NIGERIA/GHANA NATION'S CUP CO-HOST)
As a result of this notification I have written a letter through my
Lawyer to the bank to deposit the Money into a security company,
in which I have successfully carried out in the last two month. Since
I am his next of kin ,it was so easy for me in doing this without the
knowledge of my extended family members because I am from a
polygamous family .I want to try as much as possible to transfer
this money out of this Security Company before my family members
got to know about this. I know that this issue is a very sensitive one
and it should not be discuss on the net. Why don’t you send me your
phone #and your Fax No.so that, I will get in touch with you.
This deal is a risk free one and your gain shall be 40% of this money
provided you co-operate with me. Remember not to tell anybody
about this because my daddy happens to be very popular person
even after his death. I will be very grateful if you can help me.
you can get back at me on my Private email spenceaku@tsamail.co.za
Regards
Spence Aku
