Subject: VERY IMPORTANT
Dear Friend, I am glad to communicate with you, please read this letter to your understanding I am Dr. Goodluck Johnson, I am an accountant of Shell Co-operative Union Savings and Loan Port Harcourt Branch Nigeria. I am contacting you based on a (Dormant Account) owned by Late Eng. William Rogers whose death accured on the attacked with some other Shell Engineers by the protesting villagers at Eleme Village Port Harcourt. Unfortunately, he lost his life on the tragedy. Late Eng. William Rogers was previously an assistant project engineer of SHELL PETROLEUM COMPANY PORT HARCOURT BRANCH. I used to be his personal accountant before his death and the account has remained dormant since after the tragedy because there is no declaration of next of kin to lay claim to the fund and all his properties was repatriated to Shell Petroleum Company Housing Estate. I am contacting you because it has completed 3 (Three) years Late Eng. William Rogers and his personal attorney passed away. We can now lay claim to the fund valued at US$4,960,000.00 Million and the law will not be against us. It's free to claim such fund after three years and being his personal accountant and with my position in the CO-OPERATIVE UNION, the fund transfer to your account will only take us 4 days for you to confirm the fund in your account after which, I will let you know how you will transfer my own share back to me. Since the fund is free and God gift to us, we are going to share 50 / 50 between you and I to enable us work it out accordingly. Contact me with your Full Names, Contact Address, Phone Numbers and Identity Photograph and be rest assured that your information is save with me and is not going to be use for another thing than to see the transfer of the fund through to your account. I look forward hearing from you today. Regards, Dr. Goodluck Johnson. Address: No. 8 Ikwerre Road, Port Harcourt. EMAIL:goodluckjohnsondrgj78@yahoo.pl
