Subject: FRIDAY UBA
DEAR VICTIM-FULLNAME,
COMPLIMENTS OF THE DAY!
I HOPE THAT THIS MAIL WILL FIND YOU IN GOOD SHAPE OF HEALTH, AND I WISH TO
USE THIS MEDIUM TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR EARLY RESPONSE AND CONCERN.I WANT YOUR
PERSON TO BE MY PARTNER IN THE IMMEDIATE CLAIM OF MY LATE CLIENTS FIXED
DEPOSIT WITH THE STANDARD TRUST BANK INTERNATIONAL PLC, NIGERIA,VALUED AT
US11.5M UNITED STATES DOLLARS, WHICH IS CURRENTLY SUFFERING THREATS OF
CONFISCATION BY THE BANK AUTHORITY.
MEANWHILE, BEFORE WE PROCEED, I WILL LIKE TO ASSURE YOU THAT I HAVE THE
EVIDENCE DOCUMENTS THAT WILL ENABLE YOU CLAIM THIS FUND FROM THE BANK
AUTHORITY, AND BEFORE LETTING OUT THESE INFORMATION TO ANYONE, I THINK ITS
PROPER THAT WE GET INTIMATED AND BE ABLE TO CONFIDE AND TRUST EACH OTHERS.
THOUGH YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT TRUST IS THE BASIC THING ABOUT DEALING WITH ONE
ANOTHER, AND I WANT TO STAKE MY TRUST ON YOU BELIEVING SAME FROM YOU TOO.
PLEASE AS A MATTER OF FACT, TIME IS NOT REALLY ON OUR SIDE, AND I WILL
ADVICE YOU TO APPLY ADEQUATE THOUGHTS OVER THIS, BECAUSE I WOULDN'T WANT ANY
FLOP AFTER THESE SEVERAL YEARS OF INTENSE SEARCH FOR THE RELATIVES OF MY
LATE CLIENT.ENGR. ARTHUR LAKSHMI. HE DIED ALONG WITH HIS WIFE AND TWO KIDS.
I HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE FAMILIES RELATED TO HIM FOR MORE THAN THREE YEARS
ALL TO NO AVAIL. I CONTACTED YOU SIMPLY BECAUSE I WANT US TO CLAIM THE MONEY
AND I DONT WANT TO LOOSE THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY. SO THAT WE CAN JOIN HANDS
TOGETHER AND PULL OFF THE MONEY,I AM IN THE POSITION TO GIVE YOU GUIDE LINE
HOW THIS TRANSACTION WILL BE DONE.CLIENT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE HIS
RELATIVE OR YOU ARE SOMEHOW RELATED, BUT I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU SO WE
COULD CLAIM THIS MONEY FOR THE BENEFIT AND INTEREST OF YOU AND I. MORE SO,
I WILL DEMAND THAT YOU GIVE ME AN UNDOUBTED CO-OPERATION BY KEEPING THIS
ABSOLUTELY SECRET BETWEEN YOU AND I, AND I WOULD IN ONE WORD REQUIRE YOU TO
BE TRANSPARENTLY ASK ME PERSONALLY ANY QUESTION THAT YOU FEEL RELEVANT TO
THIS DEAL IN QUESTION. THIS IS A MULTI-MILLION DOLLARS BUSINESS WHICH AS A
MATTER OF FACT, I HAVE TAKEN UPON MYSELF TO BATTLE AND ENSURE THAT THE BANK
DOES NOT FROZEN THE ACCOUNT.
HOWEVER, ALL THAT IS REQUIRED TO ENHANCE THIS PAYMENT MADE IN YOUR FAVOUR IS
TO OBTAIN PROOFS OF YOUR LEGITIMATE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED, AND IN THIS
VEIN, I PROMISE TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE BY APPLYING MY LEGAL EXPERIENCE IN
SECURING ON YOUR NAME/BEHALF THE VITAL DOCUMENTS THAT WILL FACILITATE THE
TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY INTO YOUR DESIGNATED BANK ACCOUNT.
FURTHERMORE, I WILL WANT US TO EXCHANGE IDENTITIES, SO THAT WE COULD KNOW A
BIT ABOUT EACH OTHERS, PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WILL PORTRAY YOUR TRANSPARENCY,
TRUST AND YOUR WILLING ABILITY TO PARTNER WITH ME. AND 5% OF THE FUND WILL
BE USED TO REINBURSE OUR RESPECTIVE MISCELENEOUS EXPENSES THAT COULD BE
INCURED DURING THE CLAIM.
I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE AT THE MOMENT, AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, LETS MAXIMIZE
THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE OUR FORTUNE. REMEMBER AGAIN THAT TRUST IS
THE PIVOT IN WHICH EVERY BUSINESS ROTATES, SO I DON'T WANT TO FEEL
SKEPTICAL, RATHER BE REMINDED THAT THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY
TO DETERMINE OUR TOMORROW, SO LETS MAXIMIZE THIS CHANCE AND BE ABLE TO
ESTABLISH A MORE MUTUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EACH OTHERS. PLEASE CALL ME
WITH THIS NUMBER 234-8026220417 THANKS ONCE AGAIN AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
REGARDS
FRIDAY UBA.
AS SOON AS I GET YOUR IDENTIFICATION CARD OR INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT, I WILL
PRESENT YOU TO THE FINANCE HOUSE AS THE TRUE NEXT OF KIN TO LATE ENGR ARTHUR
LAKSHMI. I SHALL ALSO SEND TO YOU THE DEATH CERT AND THE CERTIFICATE OF
DEPOSIT OF LATE ENGR ARTHUR LAKSHMI.
