Dear Friend
Compliment of the Season,
How are you doing today? It,s My plasure to contact for
Assistance.
My name is Dr. Charles GodWin. 40 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 Thomson. did not fill any Next Of
Kind in his file. Since the contractor is dead, if we fail to claim the
money, the money will be retained by the Gvernment.
Therefore, I think it is wise for us to claim it instead of leaving it for
the Government.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.
