Subject: CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OF ONE MR. PALMER.
Hello,
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable me carry out
an urgent business Opportunity in my department. I work with the MINISTRY OF
WORKS AND HOUSING FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA Currently, I am Mr. Marcel
Donald in charge of CONTRACT REVIEW COMMITEE. I was the CONTRACT AGENT
officer to one of our client (MR. ROLAND PALMER),who died along with his
wife and Two sons in the Asia Earth Quake Disaster (TSUNAMI DISASTER)
<http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2004/tsunami.disaster/>.
All of his Family lost there lives in the Disaster. My client was a
successful and an accomplished family man, who work with Shell company here
in africa, He was sent to Asia (Sri Lanka) for a Special Assignment for his
Company (Shell) were he died. He left in his domiciliary account the total
sum of Twelve Million and Five hundred thousand, United States Dollars only
($12,500,000.00USD). Since then I had made several enquiries through your
Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has
proved unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact the Nigeria
Chambers and Commerce were I got your contact. After the sudden death of my
client, and for the reason that there has not been a next of kin to my late
client, the bank has decided to forfeit the money and declear as an
abandoned property as there is no next of kin who should inherit his funds.
The board of directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated
to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within 30 working
days or forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property.
The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to
confisticate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me. I
have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to
present you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be
paid the funds left in his bank account. I therefore seek your consent to
present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased that the proceeds of this
Bank Account valued at $12.5 Million be paid to you. And I will be very
considerate with the percentage ratio.
I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back
up our claim. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing
this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
Get back to me directly on my Private email address for security reasons:
mdon_fmwh@yahoo.com
Regards,
MR. MARCEL DONALD
FMWH.
