Subject: Kindly offer me your assistance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello,
Best compliment of the day.My name is Buckwalter Wilson from the canada.I am
a student of university of Kent(uk),Department of medical sciences.However i
got your contact through the canadian embassy here in UK as a responsible
citizen i can confide in.I am writing in respect of my father,Major Andrew
Wilson,who was killed in Afghanistan on Saturday, October 7, 2006.My mother
who used to work with Shell petroleum development company in Nigeria
perished with my only sister,and mum along with 114 other passengers onboard
a bellview air-line plane crash in Nigeria Few days after her death,i was
contacted by her attorney in Nigeria who revealed to me that the Federal
Governement of Nigeria has released thirty five million dollars($35 million
USD) which was a contract balance payment for a contract executed by my late
mum before her death.The money has been lodged with storm pay security
company of Nigeria for safekeeping.The said company has has ordered my
family lawyer to provide the next of kin to my mum or have the money
confiscated as unclaimed fund.
As the only left kin to my mum,i left Uk for Nigeria immediatly only to find
out that i cannot claim this money on my own due to the fact that i am only
a student and know less partaking this type of transaction.I also do not
have a bank account in the canada or United States where the money will be
transfered into.As the only next of kin,i have made a move with my family
lawyer who then suggested that i get a foreign investor/adult relation to
take he responsibility for i am inexprienced and financially imbalanced. I
thereby seek your consent to assist me for this transfer .I have already
done all the necessary groundworks with our lawyer for the smooth transfer
of the funds.Since i have the certificate of deposit that can be used to
back up any claim we may make for the smooth transfer.The moment i receive
your positive response,it will take the bank less than 7 banking days to
transfer the money into your bank account.
For your assistance and co-operation ,you will take 30% while 60% to me and
my lawyer,then 10% should be for expenses or tax as Us Government may
require of the entire money($35 MILLION USD).All i require is your honest
co-operation to enable us see this deal through.The lawyer has guaranteed
that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect
you from any breach of the law.
Upon the receipt of your positive response,the lawyer shall forward to you a
text of application which you will send to the FEDERAL MINISTRY
OF FINANCE for claim.You may also wish to view this website on the internet
to confirm the plane crash.
