From Mrs.Lsabel Muel. Dear Friend, Compliments of the day, With due respect, trust and humility, I decided to consult you towards this transaction due to the need involve a foreign beneficiary and with the faith I have in God, I believe that you will be reliable and capable to assist me in transferring this fund into any safe trust account of your choice anywhere in part of the world for investment purpose and I believe that you will not betray me after receiving this money into your account. In point of introduction, I am Mrs.Lsabel Muel, the wife of the late Eng, Frank Muel who lost his life in a plane crash on 4th May,2002. My husband was a contractor with Oil and Gas manfurnitures Company here in Nigeria and he was in the process of being paid his contract sum of $15million by the Oil and Gas manfurnitures Company here in Nigeria through their paying bank before he lost his life and I am not in a position to lay claim to the fund as his wife at the time of his death, so Our family attorney advise me to look for a person who will stand as my late husband business partner so that the fund can be paid to him.Meanwhile i will like you to go through this site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968300.stmhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968616.stm I decided to contact you from my personal research through a friend of my family adviser who works with the South African Chamber of Commerce Department of World Trade and Industries, during my search for a reliable and competent foreigner to handle this confidential financial transaction so I decided to contact you to seek if you can assist me,so please d o not feel bad receiving my mail. The problem now is that I and my attorney have been served a notice that the paying Bank will confiscate the funds if we fails to provide the rightful Beneficiary within the next few months. This situation will be most unfortunate because I knew how my late husband suffered to get the funds released to him only for him to die just when he was about to reap the fruits of his labor. To that infect I seek your consent to present you as the nominated business partner of my late husband, so that the funds can be released to you as the rightful beneficiary and everything will be handled legally by my attorney to avoid any breach of the law. I will be looking forward to your indication of interest so that we can proceed with the process of claiming the funds. 1, YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS 2, YOUR CONTACT MOBILE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR EASY COMMUNICATION.3, YOUR MAILING HOME ADDRESSES.4, YOUR AGE.5, YOUR PROFESSION.
