MY DEAR FRIEND,
DO NOT BE SURPRISED AT RECEIVING THIS MAIL. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO HARM IN TRYING SOMEONE TRUSTWORTHY AT HEART. A NEW RELATIONSHIP WILL GO A LONG WAY TO HELP EACH OTHER.
IN A NUTSHELL, I NEED YOU TO COME AND STAND AS 'NEXT OF KIN' TO A CLIENT, MR JAMES BERNARD WHO DIED IN 2011 OF A HEART CONDITION HERE IN LAGOS. SOME YEARS AGO, MR JAMES BERNARD MADE A FIXED (NUMBERED) DEPOSIT OF US$18,000,000.00 MILLION IN A BANK OVER HERE. UNFORTUNATELY, HE DID NOT MENTION A "NEXT OF KIN" IN ANY OF HIS PAPERS WITH US OR HIS CONTRACTORS - TEXACO OIL. SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN NO RESPONSE TO OUR INTERNATIONAL ADVERTORIALS CALLING FOR ANY RELATIVE TO CONTACT THE BANK TO CLAIM THE FUND DEPOSITED HEREIN.
IT IS FIVE YEARS NOW AND STILL NO RESPONSE. BY JUNE ENDING, THE INTEREST WILL BE ROLLED OVER, BRINGING THE TOTAL CLAIMS TO US$20,000,000.00 MILLION. MY DEPARTMENT HAS THE MANDATE TO OVERSEE THE INTERNAL CLEARANCE FOR CLAIMS AND THE FINAL APPROVAL, SIGNATURE FOR PAYMENT IS ONE OF MY OFFICIAL DUTIES IN ONE OF THE MINISTRIES.
BESIDES, YOU HAVE NO RISK. BY LAW, YOU ONLY NEED TO SHOW-UP ONCE BEFORE THE MONEY WILL BE PAID INTO YOUR ACCOUNT ABROAD OR ISSUE AN AUTHENTIC ORDER OF REMITTANCE TO THE BANK.
HOWEVER, PLEASE KNOW THAT THE MONEY WILL BE SHARED BETWEEN US. I WILL TAKE 60%, AND YOU 40% OF THE PRINCIPAL SUM (US$8,000,000.00 MILLION). THERE ARE REASONS WHY WE NEED TO CLAIM THIS MONEY FAST. I WILL GIVE YOU MORE COMPREHENSIVE DETAILS WHEN YOU REPLY. MOREOVER, I WILL ADVICE YOU TO FURNISH ME WITH YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE/FAX NUMBERS AND YOUR ID'S SO THAT WE CAN COMMUNICATE EASILY.
THANKS IN ANTICIPATION,
MR JAMES BERNARD
