My friend,
With compliments and respect please I beg your pardon for this unsolicited
nature, I know that this letter will come to you as a surprise because we
have not met or seen each other before but I beleive that trust in business
can bring two deference people together as one.It was out of desperation and
Curiosity that made me to contact you, to introduce myself, I am Barrister
Victor O. malu (Esq), a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to
Engr. Howard Fan, a foreign nationality, who used to work with Shell
Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) here in Nigeria, is referred to as my
trusted client.
On Sunday, 27th of January 2002, my client, his wife {Lady Anna and their
three children {Elizbeth,Dexter and James} were involved in a terrible bomb
blast that took lives of innocent souls and unfortunately over 1,000, people
lost their lives and my client and his family were part of these people that
lost their lives. In view of this please view the web page below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/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 over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family or any close
name to his but all efforts failed, hence I contacted you as a foreign
natonality. 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 finance company where this huge deposits were lodged,
particularly the finanace firm where the deceased had his account valued
precisely to be USD$29.3M {Twenty-Nine Million,three hundred thousand
dollars} The management of the security and finance company has issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin or have the account liquidated within the
next one official working month.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreign nationality
to stand in as the next of kin ,so that the fruits of this old man's labour
will not get into the hands of some group of corrupt officials who will get
rid of the money and share it for their own selfish interest and greed.Your
sex, age,name deference and country of origin does not matter in this mutual
transaction.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3years
now, I seek your prompt conscent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you have the same nationality so that the proceeds of this
account valued at US$29.3M can be paid to you and then you and I can share
the money according to any agreed ratio. All I required is your honest
co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will
be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law., This transaction is confidential and risk free.
Please for confidentiality and privacy, reply and contact me on this my
private and confidential e-mail address and call me on my cel/mobile:
+234-806-309-7014 For your serousness, try to call me immediately you
receive this mail/proposal.
Looking forward to your swift reply.
Truly yours,
Barrister Victor O. Malu (Esq).
TRUST IS MY WATCH WORD.
