DEAR
WITH COMPLIMENTS AND RESPECT, I BEG YOUR PARDON FOR THIS UNSOLICITED NATURE, IT
WAS OUT OF DESPERATION AND CURIOSITY THAT MADE ME TO CONTACT YOU, TO INTRODUCE
MYSELF, I AM MR JOHN PAUL KOROMA , A SENIOR MANAGER AND PERSONAL ACCOUNTING
OFFICER TO THIS LATE CUSTOMER OF OURS. A NATIONALITY OF YOUR COUNTRY, HE WAS
INTO CRUDE OIL AND OIL TOOLS HERE IN NIGERIA,HE IS REFERRED TO AS MY TRUSTED
FRIEND THOUGH A CUSTOMER.
ON SUNDAY, 27TH OF JANUARY 2003 AT (15:53 GMT), MY CLIENT, HIS WIFE {LADY ANNA
AND THEIR TWO CHILDREN WERE INVOLVED IN TERRIBLE BOMB BLAST THAT TOOK LIVE OF
INNOCENT SOULS AND UNFORTUNATELY OVER 1000, PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES AND
CUSTOMER AND HIS FAMILY WERE PART OF THIS PEOPLE THAT LOST THEIR LIVES IN IKEJA
GOVERMENT RESERVE AREA WHERE THEY LIVED.
IN VIEW OF THIS PLEASE VIEW THE WEB PAGE BELOW:
VIEW THE WEBSITE http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2698081.stm
SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ENQUIRIES TO YOUR EMBASSY TO LOCATE ANY OF MY
CLIENT'S EXTENDED RELATIVES, THIS HAS ALSO PROVED UNSUCCESSFUL.
AFTER THESE SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS, I DECIDED TO TRACK HIS LAST NAME , TO
LOCATE ANY MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY OR ANY CLOSE NAME TO HIS,HENCE I CONTACTED YOU.
I AM CONTACTING YOU TO ASSIST IN REPATRIATING THE MONEY AND PROPERTY LEFT BEHIND
BY MY CLIENT BEFORE THEY GET LIQUIDATED OR DECLARED UNSERVICEABLE BY THE BANK
WHERE THIS HUGE DEPOSITS WERE LODGED, PARTICULARLY THE METROPOLITAN BANK WHERE
THE DECEASED HAD HIS ACCOUNT VALUED PRECISELY TO BE USD$
24.5MILLION{TWENTY-FOUR MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND .} THE BANK HAS ISSUED A
NOTICE ON THE BANK GAZZETE DEMANDING THE NEXT OF KIN TO COME UP OR HAVE THE
ACCOUNT LIQUIDATED WITHIN THE NEXT TWENTY-ONE OFFICIAL WORKING DAYS.
CONSEQUENTLY, MY PROPOSAL IS THAT I WILL LIKE YOU AS A NATIONAL OF SAME COUNTRY
TO STAND IN AS THE NEXT OF KIN ,SO THAT THE FRUITS OF THIS OLD MAN'S LABOR WILL
NOT GET INTO THE HANDS OF SOME GROUP OF CORRUPT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO WILL
GET RID OF THE MONEY AND SHARE IT FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH INTEREST AND
SINCE I HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN LOCATING THE RELATIVES FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW, I
SEEK YOUR PROMPT CONSENT TO PRESENT YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN OF THE DECEASED
SINCE YOU ARE FROM THE SAME COUNTRY SO THAT THE PROCEEDS OF THIS ACCOUNT VALUED
AT USD$ 24.5M, IN CASH AND BONDS CAN BE PAID TO YOU AND THEN YOU AND I CAN
SHARE THE MONEY ACCORDING TO ANY AGREED RATIO.
ALL I REQUIRE IS YOUR HONEST CO-OPERATION TO ENABLE US SEEING THIS DEAL THROUGH.
I GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL BE EXECUTED UNDER LEGITIMATE ARRANGEMENT THAT WILL
PROTECT YOU FROM ANY BREACH OF THE LAW.
LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR SWIFT REPLY.
TRULY YOURS,
MR JOHN PAUL KOROMA
NOTE;PLEASE SEND TO ME YOUR DIRECT CONTACT TELEPHONE NUMBERS, CONTACT ADDRESS AS
