Subject: Dear friend.
Greetings,
I got your name through a specific check for someone in your line of
business, who will not only assist me in this transaction but also have a
knowledge of investment.
I am William Ibru, personal attorney to Mr Patrick Yao, an expartriate who
used to work with Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC), here in Nigeria.On the
2nd of January 2005, I recieved a call that my client died in the Tsunami
Disaster with his wife and two kids while on vacation at Phuket Island in
Thailand. Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my
client's extended relatives. This has proved unsuccessful.
I have contacted you to assist in repartriating the money left behind by my
client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this deposit is lodged. Particularly, the bank where the deceased had
an account valued at US$7,500,000.00 (Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars).
The bank has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the
account confiscated. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
biological relatives of my late client, I hereby seek your consent to
present you to the bank as next-of-kin of the deceased since you are a
foreigner, so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$7.5M can be
transfered to you as inheritance and thereafter, you and me can share the
money; 50% to me and 45% to you, while 5% will be donated to the Tsunami
Disaster Charity Fund.
I have original copy of Certificate of Deposit of the funds, which will be
used to substantiate our inherittance claims. All I require is your consent
and honest co-operation to enable us see the deal through. Furthermore, I
guarantee that the transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please I will be more confident to carry out this transaction with if you
send me the following details for the processing of the claim in
your favour:
1. Your full Name and Address
2. Your Direct Phone / Fax Number
3. Your Age and Occupation
On receipt of this information, it will enable us move ahead as we have to
establish trust for one another, we need a very good understanding to enable
us achieve success as you know the money we are going after is not a childs
play, so I believe we both are responsible adult and we should behave like
one.
I shall write an application letter on your behalf and summit to the bank
presenting you as the beneficiary of the funds as soon as I
receive your information, this will enable them tell you the modalities in
which the money will get to you soonest.
Having stated the above clearly, I expect your urgent and prompt response,as
I do not intend to have this transaction delayed.
Please treat this as highly confidential.
Hope to hear from you soonest.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
William Ibru,
Notice: i will want you to contact me via my private
email:address<wibru1968@yahoo.fr>
