Subject: OFFICIAL MAIL (Teague)
REQUEST FOR URGENT TRANSFER
I must apologize on the strange manner I have jumped into your private
e-mail, on my quest for a reliable and trusted partner for a highly
important and lucrative venture cum investment.
I came across your contact as a reliable partner for this venture. I am
Barrister Nwabuoku Ofili, a registered Legal practitioner with federal
republic of Nigeria and personal Attorney to Engr. Mark Kelly
Teague.
To highlight you on this proposal, my client operated an account in a bank
here in my country, since 1999 till 2002, when he died of cardiac arrest in
the Niger Clinic on the 10th of December 2002, after which, he was buried
here in Nigeria.
Some days ago, I received a letter from the said Bank that the Late Engr.
Mark Kelly Teague, haven gone through some old files in the Records of the
bank, It was discovered that my late client has a total sum that Was
outstanding before his death as (USD 26 Million) Twenty Six Million United
States Dollars. For the fact that Engr. Mark Kelly Teague did not Present
any information of his next of Kin in the establishment of the said Account,
that I am contacted as his personal Attorney on the arrangement to Declare
the said funds as unclaimed and be transferred into the reserve Account of
the bank, it is as a result of this, I am now contacting you as a foreigner
because this money cannot be approved to a national with a local bank
account here. But can only be approved to any foreign account because the
money is in US dollars and the former owner, a foreigner. I implore you to
act as foreigner and beneficiary to the fund as I will then intimate you on
the processes abound as well as procure all the necessary documents required
to lay claim to the money.
If you are capable and willing to handle such amount in strict confidence
and trust according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefit I
shall highly appreciate. I need a well trusted person in this business
because I do not want to make mistakes, I need your strong assurance and
trust. With my position here as the personal Attorney to the late Engr. Mark
Kelly Teague, I will secure the necessary approval in your favor to effect
the transfer of this money to any foreigner’s reliable account, which you
can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending my arrival
in your country for disbursement. On the alternative, you can come down here
to Nigeria for us to meet one to one.
TO EFFECT THIS CHANGE IN YOUR FAVOUR I SHALL REQUIRE YOUR:
1) Your Name in full.
2) Your Full Contact Address.
3) Your Confidential Telephone Number (Mobile)
4) Your Confidential Fax number.
Soon as you receive these funds into your foreign account, or any account of
your choice for safe keeping, I will proceed to your country for onward
percentage distributions and investment. I need your full co-operation to
make this work, because as the personal Attorney to the late Mark Kelly
Teague, the management of the Bank is ready to approve this payment to any
foreigner, who has the same name and correct information of this account,
which I will give to you later immediately. I will use my position and
influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to
your account with appropriate clearance forms of the Bank and foreign
exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, for your assistance, 25% of the total
amount will be accrue for you, 70% for me, while 5% will be for expenses
both parties might have incurred during the process of the transfer.
I implore you to maintain the absolute confidentiality of this transaction.
Your earliest response is urgently awaited and should be forwarded to my
confidential e-mail: (nwabuokuofili@steam.to) as to ensure confidentiality.
Truly Yours,
Barr. Nwabuoku Ofili.
