Subject: URGENT ANSWER
FROM THE DESK OF BARRISTER TUNDE JAMES AKIMOLA,
23 STATION ROAD,PORT-HARCOURT, RIVER-STATE,
NIGERIA.
I am Barrister TUNDE JAMES AKIMOLA of AKIMOLA Chambers, an Advocate/Soilicitor at
Law, I must apologise for the method I am contacting you, this is as a result of the
urgency in this information that I wish to share with just you.
A mexican Mr .Aloysius Han aged 65 years, the managing Director of ALOYHANS
SERVICES, an Oil Servicing Company, with Head Office at No: 4 Trans Amadi Industrial
Estate,Port-Harcourt River State Nigeria, carried out a Contract worth of
USD$15,500:00 (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) with the Niger
Delta Development Commission (NDDC) on the maintainance of the catalytic Unit of the
Niger Delta Refinery in Port-Harcourt and Warri, to be precise, The Contract was
duelly completed in the year 2000, before his trip to the America. On the delay of
this payment I was consulted by this Engineer as to assist him in the recovery of
the said payment from the NDDC, a case was filled against
the commission by me as to ascertain the cause of the delays in payment, this case
lasted for several years, as I was representing him, despite his departure from
Nigeria, since the case has already been instituted.
For about three 3 years now I have suceeded in getting this payment made into his
Account here in my Country, as the FUND DePOSIT CERTIFICATE has been handed over to
me by the Bank as a Proof, On getting this I have tried to reach MR.ALOYSIOUS HAN,
but all my effort has been fruitless, I have traced him down to his base in
London,Only to discover
that my Client MR.ALOYSIOUS HAN was Involved in Alaska Airlines Flight 261 plane
crash on the 4th of February 2000 on making this discovery, I have decided to
contact you and if posiible we should meet here in London, for some vital
discussions or alternatively you can reach me on this phone:
+44-7031846176.
For more details, as to enable me present you as the relation/next of Kin to this
Late Engineer, as soon as I get back to my Country, NIGERIA in a forth night.
As to ensure this is carried out with the strictest confidence, I would require you
to forward to me the following:
a) YOUR NAME IN FULL.
b) YOUR RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS.
c) YOUR DIRECT TELEPHONE NUMBER (MOBILE)
d) YOUR DIRECT(CONFIDENTIAL) FAX NUMBER.
I here as a Legal Practitioner will secure all vital/Legal Documents in your favour
as soon as I get back to my Country, to support the claim of the said FUNDS in your
favour without any hitch, it is on this I have to contact you, presently as I am
still in LONDON, so this can be embarked on immediately I arrive in my Country, but
the confidentiality and trust are
of utmost importance in this FUND claim, as to ensure that the FUND is transfered to
your nominated Account, pending my arrival there in your Country, for disbursement,
as our inability to claim this FUNDS within the shortest period of 21 working days
from today, the FUNDS will be forfeit to the Government reserve Account, as the
Government of my Country
has decided to scrutinise every Dormant Foreign Account, as a way to check the
capabilty of banks and the Minimum deposit, as instructed by the Central bank of
Nigeria.
Finally, the trust and confidence reposed on you can not be over-emphasised, as we
have a limited time to carry out this arrangement.
I would want your repply through This my alternative e-mail
address:-(ttundeakimola@walla.com) for confidential reasons.
Regards,
BARRISTER TUNDE JAMES AKIMOLA,
