Attn, Sir/Madam I am Barrister Mantu Ajana Esq), the Personal Attorney to a
Foreign Contractor, who worked with a Multinational Oil Firm in Nigeria. On
the 11th of September 2002, my client, a American National, late Engineer
A.Goins, an oil Merchant /
Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria, until his death Three
years ago in a ghastly terrorist attack to American Airlines Flight 11, from
Boston, Assachusetts, to Los Angeles, California, crashedinto the North
Tower of the World Trade Center with 86 people on board. All occupants of
the aeroplane unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several
inquiries to Several Embassies to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet,
to locate any member of his family but of no avail.
Then I have to contact you to assist me in repatriating the money left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the Bank where these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where
the deceased had an account valued at about US$65.5 Million has issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin, relatives so that the fund left will be
transferred or have the account confiscated.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US$65.5Million can be paid to
you and then you and I can share this money. 55% to me and 40% to you, while
5% should be for expenses or tax as your Government may require. All I
require is your honest and co-operation to enable us sees 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, you’re full Name
2, your contact Address
3and your private phone, mobile and fax numbers for easy communicating for
each other.
I await your kind response, please if you are interested and capable in
handling this deal with me, due reply only on my alternative email address
for security reasons barrajana@takemail.com and note that the nurture of
this deal needs a very top secrecy.
Cautions: The nature of this inheritance need solid confidential therefore
after reading this proposal to decide to transact this business transaction
with me then do reply me to my private email address for security purpose.
Private Email:barrajana@takemail.com, I sent you the mail from my chambers
email msn which my secretary have access to open it so with that condition I
don’t want him to know that I’m having business with foreigner. And to
overcome that don’t reply to my msn.
Best Regards,
Barrister Mantu Ajana ( (Esq)
