Subject: UPDATE. From Phillip.
My dear friend,
I received your letter and it’s very much important I make you know that this transaction is not a child’s play, I need a very serious partner for this transaction.
The fund in question is five million seven hundred thousand united states dollars only, I will give you contact details of an Attorney (Lawyer) here in Nigeria that you shall contact your-self to stand as your representative / proxy here in Nigeria to obtain all relevant legal papers from the appropriate offices and the law court here in Nigeria.These, will make this bank to release this fund to you as the only surviving relative / next of kin of the late Andrea Schranner, because since the death of Andrea no one has shown up as his relative to make claim of this fund and this bank directors and top government official in the federal ministry of finance will certainly share this money among them-selves by the end of the month of July this year 2006, if no relative of late Andrea shows up.
This is the reason, it is very much important that all relevant papers to make you the legitimate next of kin of late Andrea is obtained by the lawyer immediately without delay and presented to this bank in the application of claim of this fund that shall be filed to this bank by the lawyer for the money to be released to you been the next of kin of Late Andrea Schranner.
You shall contact the lawyer directly to help you obtain the relevant legal papers as the beneficiary/ next of kin of late Andrea Schranner, because I do not want the lawyer and this bank to know that I am presenting you, I shall lose my job in this bank if it is made a public issue.
My duty will be to ensure that all relevant legal papers empowering you as the beneficiary of this fund is honored by this bank upon presentation by the lawyer, hence I am the account officer to Andrea Schranner’s bank account.
Do not worry, i have mapped out the best modality to make this claim work as the account officer to late Andrea Shranner' bank account. What i only seek from you to make this transaction a success is to work strictly in accordance to my instructions and the fund will be transferred into your nominated bank account and both of us will then celebrate this great break- through in life.
It is a very great opportunity for the both of us to make good fortune for our respective families and we must have to make judicious use of this opportunity.
Once the money is released to you, I will come over to your country and we both shall share the money base on our agreed percentage.
I will give you the lawyer’s contact details once I receive a positive response from you. Best Regards,
Phillip.
