Good Day,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into
businessrelationship with you. I know you might be surprised
on receiving this mail due to the fact that we have not
met before. By brief introduction, I am Stephen Ishaya a
citizen of Nigeria and the eldest son of late Mark
Aku Ishaya the Sports Minister of West Africa that died on
the 4th of may 2002 in a plane crash that occured in the
Northern state of the country.
Information about the plane crash that involve the
death of100 people including my late father was well published
in BBC here is the website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968300.stm
It was after the plane crash that my step-mother Mrs.
Cecilia Ishaya investigated and found out that the
crash plane was a set-up from the opponent that contested
the position of minister with my father.
Before my father's death he directed me to some
documents he kept for a huge fortune $10 Million Dollars, (Ten
million United State Dollars) he deposited outside the
country.
Now we need to trust a neutral person abroad (as my
late father advised)to be our foreign partner, to help
claim the deposit and transfer to his/her account for our
investment.We are ready to give good reward and we agree on this
if
you are ready to help. Dear, I am honorably seeking
your assistance to stand as our Next of Kin and
foreign partner of our late father and to act as guardian of
the money and open up an account where the sum would be
paid in before subsequent transfer to your account abroad.
My sister is suffering for heart problem because of
all the shock, so life is hard for us presently and we need to
quickly solve this and have money to face our new
life. We also want to further our Education and you will
help us for safe investment of the money.
Please if you are ready to help us, furnish me with
your telephone and fax number where I can reach you to
communicate with you.
We have decided to offer you 20% of the total sum as
compensation after the transfer is made into your
accountand you will serve as guardian to the company that you
will establish for us. Please get back to us through
the above email address stephenishaya111@shuf.com to enable
