FROM MR.GREG OSUJI
12 ASHAFA CRESCENT
VICTORIA-ISLAND
LAGOS-NIGERIA.
Dear Sir,
My name is MR.GREG OSUJI. I work with one of the Banks here in Nigeria as an Account-Officer. I made up my mind with trust to contact you for an urgent and very confidential business, which will benefit both of us. On 11th June 2001, an American Oil Consultant/Contractor with the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas Company (NLNG) Mr.Jim Harriman made a fixed deposit of US$4,800,000.00 (Four Million, Eight-hundred thousand United States Dollars) for twelve Calendar months with my Bank.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine Notification to his Address but, got no response. After a month, I sent the last & final reminder and discovered from his Contract Employers (NLNG), that he died in a ghastly auto-crash on the 21st April 2002. On further investigation, I discovered also that he died without making a "WILL” and all attempts I made to trace his Next of Kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that he did not declare his Next of Kin or, his relation in all his official documents in his file, including his Bank Deposit in my Bank. Right now, the money is yet to be claimed by his Next of Kin and it is now obvious that there is no one to come forward to claim this money from the bank.
According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years from the date of the said Deposit, the money will be Confiscated by the Nigerian Government as unclaimed Bill. Hence, I have been unable to locate his Next of Kin for over 2 years; I seek your consent to present your Name to my Bank as the NEXT OF KIN to the deceased. For us to claim this money in your Name will not pose any problem/s for us because, a lawyer will handle everything for us.
To do this, I will hire the services of a Lawyer who will prepare the necessary documents and Affidavits from the Federal High Court here in Nigeria. These documents will state that you are the Next of Kin to the deceased as required by Law. The Attorney will authenticate the Notarization of the "WILL" and also obtain a LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION & PROBATE from the Ministry of Justice in your favour for the transfer of the fund to you. Do not be afraid of anything because, it is 100% risk-free as all paperwork for this transaction will be handled by the Attorney including my position as the Account-Officer of the bank. To share the money among us will be in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.
If you are interested, please respond immediately via the private e-mail address below. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you to understand the business. All I want from you is to be honest, Trustworthy & maintain utmost CONFIDENTIALITY of our business until we secure the money in your Bank Account.
Awaiting your urgent response.
MR.GREG OSUJI
