Dear Berrry Moen,
My Proposal
I would like to begin by way of introduction; I am Mr.Jeo William, a native of Nigeria. I am a senior employee of Nigerian Department of Energy and Mineral Resources.I got your email through the net due to the fact that i would want a reliable foreign confidant,hence i write you.
I am writing this letter to solicit your co-operation in order to redeem an investment currently held under trust with the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources of Nigeria. The said investment now valued at USD$26.426M (Twenty six million, four hundred and twenty six thousand American dollars), was originally purchased by one Mr. Dwight Ausserer, and leased to the Transvaal Orange Mining Corporation in 1977.
Since the maturity of this contract in September 1997, several attempts have been made without success to contact Mr. Dwight Ausserer or any of his close relatives, in whose favuor the investment cash value can be paid.
My partner, who is the Account Director in the same Ministry and I, have initiated the process of filing a claim for this money with the hope of having the funds transferred to you. In order to do this, we will swear an affidavit in the High Court of my country stating that you are a distant cousin and next of kin to Mr. Dwight Ausserer the owner of the money.
After which, we will file a claim for this money from the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources, indicating that you were appointed by Mr. Ausserer to be the beneficiary of these funds. When the claim is approved you as the beneficiary will be paid the sum of USD$26.426M.
The money will be paid directly to any bank of your choice; you will have the responsibility to ensure that my partner and I receive 70% of the money while you keep 25% for your assistance.The remaining 5% will be for incidental expenses.
I want to assure you that my partner and I are in a position to make the payment of this claim possible provided that you can give us very strong guarantee that our share will be secured,
and that you will not take advantage of our position.
Be assured that there is absolutely nothing to worry about in the view of this claim. It is perfectly safe with no risks involved, and it is not subject to any inquiry, since my partner and I will be handling the claim directly in Nigeria on your behalf. I do hope my proposal is acceptable to you.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter, so that I can provide you with more clarification about the claim and how we intend to make this deal beneficial to everyone involved,hope to hear from you soon, please do not forget to include the following below when replying this letter;
YOU CONTACT NAME AND ADDRESS
PHONE ANDFAX NUMBER

YOurs Sincerely,
Mr.Jeo William.
