INRODUCTION
I would like to start off by introducing myself. I am Steve Paul, I run a
private financial consultant firm. My head office is in London, United
Kingdom, but I also do have branch offices in Manchester, South Africa and
Holland and Italy.
PURPOSE OF LETTER
First of all, it may please you to know that I got your contact through a
private search engine online.
I represent a high profile client, both home and overseas. The British
Government on money laundering charges unfortunately recently held one of
such clients. You can find the news on the BBC news link below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4291350.stm ,
http://allafrica.com/stories/200511040367.html,
From all indications, there is a 100% chance of him being incarcerated and
following his expulsion from the ruling party in Nigeria and subsequent move
by the house to impeach him, this is resultant from his action of jumping
bail in the United Kingdom. As his financial adviser, he has personally
requested that I commence on an immediate search for a partner for him who
will act as the next of kin/beneficiary and take charge of his other
finances in. His ally has also been arrested for same offence after he was
found with large sum of money. My client's wife have earlier been arrested.
http://allafrica.com/stories/200511090667.html. We have the chance to do
this quickly and be happy thereafter, as I know that this is secure.
In order to commence. there shall be a business agreement and all relevant
documentation to make you the beneficiary to his other finances including
power of attorney; letters of authority will be prepared. You will take
charge of all concerning this fund and will manage it based on your own
discretion; you will also be entitled to a percentage of this fund.
CONCLUSION:
If you go through the BBC news link above, you will see that my client is
in a very desperate situation and if he doesn't commence an immediate
transfer of his other finances, he stands a chance of loosing everything. At
the moment, his assets in London, worth about 10Million Pounds has been
confiscated.
If you are interested, my direct number and email is below to reach me.
Then I can furnish you with more facts. I am purposely withholding other
vital details until somebody indicates interest.
Please note that amount of transfer in question is well over 40Million UK
Pounds. So if it is what you think you can handle, kindly reply, if not
please do not bother as we have no time to waste.
Thanks,
Steve Paul
