FROM BARRISTER JOHNSON BEKA
DEAR FRIEND,
I AM BARRISTER JOHNSON BEKA, PERSONAL ATTORNEY TO LATE MR. ANDREW PITT , FORMER DIRECTOR WITH DYNASTY OIL AND GAS CORPORATION (D.O.G.C). ON THE 4TH OF MAY 2002, MY CLIENT, HIS WIFE (SARAH) AND THEIR THREE CHILDREN WERE INVOLVED IN A PLANE CRASH INVOLVING THE BAC 111-500 BELONGING TO EAS AIRLINES, THE PILOT, SEVEN CREW MEMBERS AND 65 PASSENGERS ON BOARD UNFORTUNATELY LOST THEIR LIFES. SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO LOCATE MY CLIENT'S RELATIVES TO NO AVAIL.
FOR PROVE, PLEASE CLICK THE FOLLOWING SITES TAGGED BBC ARCHIVE NEWS & CNN.COM NEWS ARCHIVE:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968300.stm http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/africa/05/05/nigeria.crash
HOWEVER, AFTER SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS, I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU. I AM CONTACTING YOU IN GOOD FAITH SO THAT YOU WILL CO-OPERATE WITH ME IN CLAIMING THE MONEY LEFT BEHIND BY MY LATE CLIENT, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A FEELING THAT YOU ARE NOT RELATED TO MY LATE CLIENT. IT IS WORTHY TO NOTE THAT THE AMOUNT I WANT US TO APPLY FOR AND CLAIM IS U.S$10.5 MILLION AND IT WILL NOT AUGUR WELL TO SEE THE BANK FREEZE THE ACCOUNT. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE BANKING REGULATIONS AND POLICIES IN THIS PART OF THE GLOBE. MORE WORRISOME IS THE FACT THAT THE BANK HAS ISSUED AN ULTIMATUM ASKING ME TO PRESENT THE NEXT OF KIN TO MY LATE CLIENT WITHIN THE NEXT 14 WORKING DAYS, OR RISK THE CONFISCATION OF THE SAID ACCOUNT AND FUNDS ( US$10.5MILLION).
HAVING BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN MY EFFORT TO LOCATE ANY OF MY LATE CLIENT RELATION THESE PAST YEARS, I AM SEEKING YOUR CONSENT TO PRESENT YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO MY LATE CLIENT SO THAT THE U.S$10.5MILLION WILL BE PAID TO YOU. FIRST, I WANT YOU TO NOTE THAT THIS IS WORKABLE AND AS SOON AS THE FUND IS CONFIRMED IN YOUR ACCOUNT, I WILL FLY TO MEET WITH YOU FOR DISBURSEMENT OF THE FUND. UPON TRANSFER OF FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, WE ARE GOING TO SHARE THE FUND ON BASIS OF 50% FOR ME AND 40% FOR YOU AND 10% FOR EXPENSES. I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT THIS IS A LEGITIMATE TRANSACTION, AND ALL NECESSARY LEGAL DOCUMENTS THAT WOULD BE USED TO BACK UP THIS CLAIM WILL BE LEGALLY PROCESSED BY ME ON YOUR BEHALF.
ALL I SINCERELY REQUEST IS YOUR CONSENT FOR ME TO PRESENT YOU TO THE BANK AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO MY LATE CLIENT, THEREBY ASKING FOR YOUR HONEST CO-OPERATION TO ENABLE US SEE THIS TRANSACTION THROUGH. I GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL BE EXECUTED UNDER A LEGITIMATE ARRANGEMENT THAT WILL PROTECT US FROM ANY BREACH OF THE LAW. PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME VIA ALTERNATE EMAIL FOR US TO FACILITATE THE CLAIM OF THE FUND.
