Attn.
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally, I am Barrister Princedesmond Lawrence, The attorney to Chief
Mark.A.Reuben, He is among the popular black farmer in Nigaria who was
murdered in the land dispute in the country . I got your contact through
network online hence i decided to write you. Before the death of my client,
he deposited the sum of twenty five million five hundred thousand united
states dollars in one of the private security companies in london ,as he
foresaw the looming danger in Nigaria this money was deposited in a box as
gem stones to avoid much demurrage from the security company.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemical for the
farms and establishment of new farms in swaziland.this land problem came
when Nigeria president Mr Olushegun Obasanjo introduced a new land act
reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some black farmers,and
this resulted in killing and mob action by Nigeria war veterans and some
lunatics in the society Infact alot of people were killed because of the
land reform act,which my client was one of the victims It is against this
background that,my client"sfamilies fled from Nigeria for the fear of their
lives and are currently staying in sinegal where they are seeking political
asylum and more so have decided to transfer their farther"s money into a
more reliable foreign account,since the law of Nigeria prohibits a
refuge(asylum seeker)to open any bank account or to be involved in any
financial transaction throughout the territorial zone in Nigeria.
As the attorney to the family,I am saddled with the resposibility of seeking
a genuine foriegn account where this money will be transfered without the
knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything they have got.
As thier attorney,I am seeking for a partner who i have to entrust their
futures in his hands,I must let you know that this transaction is risk
free.If you accept to assist this family,all i want you to do for me is to
make arrangement with the security company to clear the consignment
(Fund).But before
then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to
the consignment and more importantly they intend to use this fund for
investment.I have mapped out 5% of the money for all kinds of expenses
incurred in the process of this transaction,My client:s family is willing to
give you 30% of the money while the remaining 65% will be for the family"s
investment in your country .contact me through my private mail address
(princedesmond34@yahoo.com)
maintain the absolute secrecy in this transaction
Thanks AND God bless You
Barrister Prince desmond Lawrence
