Subject: urgent response.
Dear Sir
I am making this contact with you in good faith. I got
your mail address from the Foreign Department in our
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Office. I am working with
the Standard Trust Bank Plc,Apapa Branch Lagos.
My purpose of writing you is to ask for your
assistance to provide your bank account where we can
successfully secure the sum of $10.5 million (ten
million five hundred thousand united states dollars).
For your information, there is one Norwegian business
merchant based here in Nigeria and his name is
Mr.Jarle Valérie. He was the owner of Jarle fisheries
Nig. Ltd, located at No.125 industrial zone, Oshodi
expressway, Isolo here in Lagos which now have been taken
over by Government of Nigeria because nobody came for
this company after the death of Mr. Jarle.
This man died in a plane crash in 1999 together with
his wife here in Nigeria. He was banking with my bank
and I' m his accounting officer. However, since the
death of Mr. Jarle, I have been trying to contact any
of his relative in the city of Oslo, his home country
Norway through his address with me, to let his people
know about his money in our bank but I did not receive
any response.
I later remembered that Mr. Jarle came to my country
out of shame he was receiving from his country because
he was impotent. This secret he revealed to me when
he was alive because I pestered him to introduce his
children to me. Now I have decided to link anybody to
stand as Mr.Jarle's next of kin in order to claim the
money he deposited here as Fixed Solid Investment
since nobody knew about it.
Government of my country will pay it to Federal
Reserve if I should declare to them about this fund.
Note that there is no risk involved in this
transaction, as I will give you all information you
may need about Mr. Jarle and his banking relationship
with my branch to enable you stand as his next of kin
to receive this money in your account.
This transaction will go through normal banking
process only that you have to stand firm as the next
of kin to Mr. Jarle just to claim this money. I will
direct you on how to apply for the claims of this
money.
Please if you are interested and capable to carry out
this deal with me, email me back. I will require the
following information from you for procession of the
fund in your favour.
Note that we can conclude this transaction within 2
weeks upon your compliance in applying for the claims
to our Head Office, as I will direct you.
I will give you $2.5million after we conclude this
transaction. Be duly informed that I will be resigning
from this banking work to come over to your country
after the transfer of this fund to your account. I
will then engage myself in international business
since I will have enough money for any kind of
business after this transaction. You need not to be
afraid because in as much as I would want my
reputation protected, I would also want yours to also
be protected.
I m waiting for your urgent response.
Best regards,
Mr mike ogogo
