I believe that the above sites has given you a wider perspective of how I lost my parents.My father was
known to be a polygamist,my own mother was the second wife.Since the death of my father,things are
no longer the same within the entire household.My elder brother who is the son of the first wife has taken
allmost everything under the pretence that we are still in school.promising to establish us as soon as we
graduates.
Going through my mothers document,I stumbled on a document which proved that my father had a
deposit of $15 Million U.S.A dollars (fifteen million united states of america dollars) with a security
company abroad.
I have made contact to the security company and was told that I could come for the claims so long as I
have the certificate of deposit or That I can send a representative but should equip him with the
certificate of deposit and a power of attoerney.
Based on this that I am mailing you seeking your consent to assist me go for the claims of this fund
deposited with the security company since I am still in school. I am going to send to you all the
documents given to my father by this security company on the day of the deposit.
I am willing to offer you 25% of the total sum on completion of the clearing excercise from the security
company,I maped out 5% for refund of expences incured in the cause of this transaction,knowing fully
well that this deposit must have by now accumulated some demurrages.
The balance of 70% will be kept for me,or should be invested and managed by you untill I graduates.I
appeal to you,to understand that despite the fact that we dont know each other,I am puting this trust on
you,based on the recommmendations I got while making my own private consultations and investigations
on a reliable person or firm to entrust this fund into his care.
Please,I beg you in the name of god,not to sit on this money when finally released to you by the security
company.I am doing this because,I dont want my elder brothers to have the knowledge of this fund.
If this proposition interest you,and you really want to assist me,kindly forward the following information to
me:
(1) your complete names starting with your surname first
(2) your private phone numbers including mobile
(3) your private fax number
(4) your present contact address.
You should understand that these information requested will enable my lawyer to prepare the power of
attorney in your favour and as well enhance communication.
I strongly advice that you treat this with utmost secrecy and absolute confidentiality,You are permited to
make further enquiries on this issue,you can as well contact the Nigerian High Commission or Embassy
nearer to you for comfirmation if you are not satisfied with your findings on the giving sites but please dont
for any reason disclose the subject matter to anybody for security reasons.
Endeavour to send further correspondences through my secured private email
address:dayoabiola@netscape.net
I am looking forward to hearing from you and at the same time thanking you for your kind
