Subject: Investment!!!
Barrister Faji Jibo,

Newlands, Johannesburg,
South Africa.
Attn;
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have not
meet. Permit me however I am Barrister Faji Jibo from South Africa, I am the
personal attorney to Late Enger Author Woodrow. Am contacting you to kindly
assist me in the proposition below, which will be of mutual benefit to us
both.
Late Enger Author Woodrow a very prosperous Oil merchant with Africa
countries. Hereinafter shall be referred as my client. Made a huge bank
deposit for investment in the sum of US$45,000,000.(Fouth Five million
United State Dollars) at Investec Bank South Africa.
Since he was in need of investing the amount soon there was no any next of
KIN. I was called upon as an Accredited Attorney to the Bank to sign/endorse
documents to this deposit on Mr. Woodrow behalf. Unfortunately, Mr.&
Mrs.Woodrow and their two children were killed by earthquake that rocked El
Salvador, killing thousands of people and 1,200 others were declared
missing.
After years now, no withdrawer, claim or deposit was made on the account, so
the Bank Management inform me. (Being the lawyer that signed and indorsed
the deposit papers for the deceased) to trace the family relatives of the
deceased so that the funds will be released to them. I made several efforts
through the El Salvadorian High Commission to contact any of the deceased
family relatives, but no avail.
The option left for the bank management is to declare the deceased account
dormant and to revert the funds on trading and investment in the interest of
the bank if nothing is done in the near future or it taken goverment
treasury, top governmental official will pucket the fund and use it to
supprese the less privilage in the society.
In order to avoid this development since it has so far been impossible to
trace any of the deceased family relatives, I now want to get a foreigner to
have you stand as a distant relation of the deceased so that the fund will
be released to you and we can use it for investment and assist the charity
homes. I hope you do understand my concern in this matter and will treat
this proposal most confidential.
For your assistance, you will be compensated adequately with(35%) of the
sum,(5%) will be set aside to cover any incidental expense made by us prior
to this transaction. If you are interested in assisting with this matter,
please send to me urgently through my private mail box: fajijib@myway.com
the following details below;
1. Your full name and complete contact address.
2. Your private Telephone, mobile phone and fax number.
3. Any of your valid ID or passport.
Upon receiving the above details from you, I will work out every document/
proof representing you as the deceased BONA-FIDE distant relative and when
this is done, the bank will contact you for the releasement and collection
of the fund, which will be within one week of my receiving the above details
from you. I will meet you in your country after the fund have been released
to you and also to discuss investment potentials.
I have done a perfect homework in all necessary legal documents that can be
used to back up any claim we may make and guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. Kindly ensure to treat this matter in strict privacy
(highly confidential) because of its nature as a God sent opportunity that
comes once in a man's life time.
I look forward to your urgent Response.
Cheers and God bless,
Best Regards
Barrister Faji Jibo.
