Subject: Next Of Kin.
From: Mr. BOLKIH JOHN TETE
Central Bank Of Nigeria (CBN)
Tinubu Sqaure, Lagos.
Email:bolkih@hotmail.com
Dear Friend,
My name is Mr.BOLKIH JOHN TETE 42 Years Old, I am the assistant director
for Foreign Operations. Department at the Central Bank Of Nigeria (CBN).
I write to disclose to you a great opportunity through which both of us
can work together and make real big money. I disclose this to you
hoping that you will be able to work with me so that we can achieve it and
also hoping that you can keep secrets.
It is about a LATE foreign contractor (MR. MORRIS THOMPSON) who did a
contract of $18,600,000 ( EIGHTEEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S.
DOLLARS) for the Federal Goverment Of Nigeria (FGN). The money is long
over due to be remitted to his bank account, but no one is to claim the
money. He has no next of kin in his file with the CBN.
There is a provision for next of kin in the form he filled at CBN but I
dont know why he did not fill anybody as his next of kin. I want a
trusted and straight-forward person with whom I will claim this money,
hence I contacted you. To claim the money, you will assist by providing a
very good bank account in your country and I will take his FILE and YOUR
NAME as his Next Of Kin.
I have 100% access to the files because of my position in CBN. Once I
fill in your name, I will then use a lawyer here to get a court
affidavit to instruct CBN to pay you the contract amount since you are the
Next
Of Kin and the original contractor is dead. I will also instruct CBN to
henceforth communicate with you as the next of kin in respect of
anything regarding the payment.
Meanwhile, I want you to understand that I am not a criminal by doing
this deal. It is just that the opportunity came and I need such money
too. I must let you know that we will not be doing bad to humanity by
claiming this money because, the contractor Mr. Morris Thompson did not
fill any Next Of Kin in his file. Since the contractor is dead, if we
fail to claim the money, the money will be retained by the Government.
Upon confirmation it's transfere to your account I will immediately arrange
for my work
leave-permit inorder to come to your country for it's collection.
Therefore, I think it is wise for us to claim it instead of leaving it
for the Government who on their part could not give good account of it.
The late Mr. Thompson was an American, from the city of Alaska He died
together
with his wife and their only daughter aboard Alaska Airline flight number
261,
on 31st of January, 2000. You can read more about Mr. Morris Thompson and
his family's death by clicking on this web.
