Subject: I GOT UR CONTACT THROUGH VISA EMAIL
FROM: MR. KRISS BELLO
Dear Sir/Madam
I have an urgent and confidential business proposal to make you.I do seriously
need your help because I am disabled from a motoraccident and cannot travel
abroad on Doctor?s orders.
I was an Oil consultant based in the United Kingdom, and because I helped
a lot of foreign Crude Oil Companies to get Crude Oil Lifting Rights and
lucrative Oil Contracts from Nigeria, I was able to amass a fortune worth
about USD28million. On 21st
December,2004, I left the UK finally with my family, and came back to Nigeria.But
because of the unfavourable political and economic climate in Nigeria, and
for security reasons, I
left my money total USD28million in a Security Safe Deposit Vault in London.
On 22nd December, I and my whole family was involved in a very bad accident
on our way home to our Village at Benin, about 700 km from Lagos,Nigeria;
I lost my entire family in
the accident, and I myself fell into a coma since then? I eventually recovered
from coma, and was discharged
from the hospital two weeks ago. I have no money with which to sponsor any
one in Nigeria to undertake the trip
for me; in any case , my extended family here abandoned me in hospital when
they realized that the money which
I came back with had been spent on hospital bills; I am currently
living on the charity of the church. And now, I
need your help to collect this money in London and invest it in a
profitable venture abroad; I cannot bring in this
money into Nigeria for fear of seizure by the Government. If the money is
properly and profitably invested abroad
,I intend to leave Nigeria permanently.Can I count on your help? If
you agree to help me, I will send you by
Post/courier the ELECTRONIC CARD KEY of my vault so that you can travel
to London and open the vault; You
will then remove the money total USD28 million and transfer it to your Bank
Account. For your help and
assistance, you will keep 20% of the money for your self and keep 80% for
me in safe custody until I travel to
meet you and invest my share? If you agree to help me, please reply
giving me the following information:
1. Your Complete name and Street (POSTAL) address
2. Your Phone and fax number, including mobile
3. Your confidential email address
TO PREVENT THE KEY AGAINST LOSS IN TRANSIT, PLEASE KINDLY STATE
YOUR CORRECT NAME AND STREET ADDRESS? THIS IS NOT A JOKE OR A
HOAX! YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THIS EMAIL IS A GENUINE100%
LEGITIMATE
PROPOSAL, ONCE YOU REPLY AS ABOVE.
Once I receive your reply stating your street postal address as above,I
will send you the Safe Deposit Vault Key
by EXPRESS MAIL, and I will also forward to you more details of this transaction
by email. Details will include
the address, contact details including the website of the Safe Deposit Company
in London where my money is currently stored?
Best regards,
Mr. Kriss Bello
