Greetings to you,
This mail is not intended to cause any embarrassment in whatever form to you
but I must solicit your confidentiality.I know a proposal of this magnitude
will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that it is
sent in good faith and will be of mutual benefit to us.
I am Barrister Tunde Ajayi(Esq), the Personal Attorney to Mr Harry, a
foreigner who used to work with Mekon Oil Services Company in Nigeria. Here
after referred to as my Client.
At about 1.35pm on May 4 2002, my Client, his Wife and their three children
were involved in an Air Crash, when the Nigerian Passenger Plane they
boarded, crashed into a densely populated suburb of the city of Kano in
northern Nigeria, killing at least 148 people on board including my Client,
his entire family and the Former Minister of Sport in Nigeria, Late Ishaya
Mark Aku.
Subsequently, since then, I have made several inquires to your Embassy to
locate any of my Late Client's Extended Relatives, which has also proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member
of his family, hence, I contacted you.
I am contacting you to assist me to repatriate the money and property left
behind by my Client before they get confiscated in the Bank Treasury or
declared unserviceable by the Finance House where this huge deposit were
lodged, so that the proceeds of this Account valued a 31 Million Dollars can
be paid to your Account.
The Finance House where the Deceased had an Account valued at about 61
Million Dollars has issued me a notice to provide the Next Of Kin or have
the Account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Pragmatically, I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to
back up any claim we may make anywhere. All I require is your honest
cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any Breach of the Law.
I am willing to share this money with you at the proportion of 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 cooperation to enable us see this transaction
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please mail your Response and all other Correspondence to enable us discuss
further in order for me to update you more on the plans as to how we intend
to actualize this transaction most successfully.
Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.
Best regards,
BARR. T O AJAYI(ESQ)
