Subject: CLAIM YOUR FUND
Ich habe eine neue E-Mail-Adresse!Ich bin jetzt unter folgender E-Mail-Adresse zu erreichen: barr_duke200@yahoo.de
KINDLY ALOW ME THE MODESTY OF INTRODUCING MYSELF.
I GOT YOUR CONTACT/E-MAIL ADDRESS THROUGH THE EXPORT PROMOTION COUNCIL OF THE NIGERIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY VIA WEBSITE.
Dear Friend,
I am Barrister DUKE EGBEOCHA, a solicitor at law and personal attorney to the late Mr.Jimmy Lewis ,a national of your country, He was formally a director with Kobe Steel Corporation company,a Japanise company that constructed the Liquidified Natural Gas Company in Eleme -River state Nigeria.
mr jimmy,his wife and their three children were involved in a motor accident along Sagbama express road Port Harcourt Rivers State Nigeria and unfornately the family died in the accident.
Prior to his death, my client deposited $18.5 million(Eighteen million five hundred thousand united states (dollars)with a security company.
The deposit is geared for capital flight to Europe as my client can not transfer such huge fund through his personal account. This money was raised through inflated contracts in his company and as such the
company is not aware of the deposited fund.
The status now is that my client left no WILL or any information about his next of kin and if I inform the company about the fund,they will definitely want to claim it from the security company.In view of this,I have decided to contact you to assist me in getting this fund from the security company since nobody has the knowledge of the deposited fund.
We can get the fund from this company since you have the same last name with my client. I will use your name to get the probate documents at the federal high court presenting you as the executor of my client's estate since I have his death certificate with me. I believe this is a priviaged information which I expect you to keep confidential because of my proffession.
The buisness will not take us time since all we need is to get the probate from the court which I will fax to the company to inform them that you are the next of kin to my client and beneficiary of the deposit. The deposited fund can be transfered direct to your bank account through the consultants of the security company as soon as we conclude the documentation process. I am ready to give you 50% of the total sum for your co-operation.
If you are interested, send me your complete mailing address as I will need it for the probate. I will also need your direct tel/fax numbers as I will like a faster communcation medium. Your soonest response is anticipated.If you are inerested do reply me through my private e mail as (barrduke_egbe111@yahoo.co.in).
Thank you for your anticipated co-operation
Barrister.DUKE EGBEOCHA
