I have a new email address!You can now email me at: gabejognvey@yahoo.com
- Dear Friend,I Am Mr Gabriel Johnson the Manager, Bills And Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department in a Bank.Actually, I have a very urgent & confidential Business Proposition for you & for our overall mutual interest. On the 6th of March2001, our Customer, an American National, late Jeffrey Collman, an Oil Merchant / Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria, deposited, a valued amount of US$32Million in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notifica! tion to his forwarded address but got no reply. After a month we sent a reminder, & finally we discovered from his contract employers NNPC, thatlate Jeffrey Collman, until his death seven years ago in a ghastly terrorist attack to American Airlines Flight 11, from Boston, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles, California, crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC) with 86 people on board. All occupants of the Aeroplane unfortunately lost their lives. On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his Next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that late Jeffrey Collman, did not declare any Next of kin in all his official documents. This sum US$32Million is still floating in the bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Laws, at the expiration of 9years, the money will revert to! the Ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody app lies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that i will like you as a foreigner to stand in as a Next of kin of late Jeffrey Collman. This is simple. All I require is your honest and co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I will want you to send to me on your return email the following information for the transfer in your favor. 1. Your full names as the Beneficiary of the Fund. 2. Your contact address. 3. Your private phone and fax numbers, Let's consider that our ratio of sharing will be as stated Thus; 1. I as the Originator of the Fund will take 60% of the transferable Fund. 2. You as the Manager of the Fund will take 40% of the transferable Fund. Most importantly, CONFIDENTAILITY as what I saw as the life wire to the success of the transfer of this Fund must have to be emulated b! etween you and me. You have to use this media to promise me that you will not in anyway expose the content of this transaction to anybody be it your Friends, Colleagues or Co-Workers. I will also want you to send your reply as soon as you get this mail to enable us discuss on the modalities and processes for success of this transaction. Thanks for your anticipated cooperation and understanding. I wait for your kind response.Remain blessed. Mr Gabriel Johnson
