Subject: GOOD DAY
Dear Sir,
I am Barrister.(SAN) Chuks Amaka, Lagos state, Nigeria. I have urgent
and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6, 1997, a
Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation, Mr. joshua gabrielle who was my client, made a numbered time
(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$ 37.5millon dollars
(Thirty-seven Million,five hundred thousand Dollars) in his bank .
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply. After a month, i sent a reminder and finally i discovered
from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
that Mr.joshua gabrielle died from a ghastly automobile accident.
On further investigation, I found out that the WILL he wrote and kept in my
care, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore
made further investigation and discovered that Mr. joshua's only son whom
bare his name in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in the Bank died few days before his death.
This sum of US$37.5million dollars has carefully been moved out to a
bank in america, in canada for safe-keeping. No one will ever come forward
to claim it. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
Foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money I deposited in this bank in
america.
I am writing you because I as well needs your help concerning this
money, so you can be able to claim them with the help of the Bank Manager
over there based in america.All these are to make sure that this money is
successfully handled by a good citizen like you till i will come over for
mine own share.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names
and address so that i will prepare the necessary documents which will put
you in place as the owner or the beneficiary of the money. The money will
be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you then
10% will be for any expenses that is being made. There is no risk at all as
all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by me the Attorney , and
this will guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately via my email address. Upon your
response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents
that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country.(Buying of properties
like houses,hotels etc) Awaiting your urgent reply via my email. Thanks and
regards.
