Subject: Dear Friend!
Dear Friend,
I am Aluu Mohammed (Jr).The only son of Atah Mohamed the former Minister of Petroleum in Nigeria (Abuja) I know that this mail might come to you as a surprise, due to the fact that we know not each other before now.
I got your contact through a current publication, and decided to solicit for your understanding and wholehearted assistance to receive the sum of £10.5M (TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND BRITISH POUNDS.) In your bank account and earnest business partnership thereafter.
My name is above; I am 23 years old, a citizen of Nigeria. I lost my parents as a result of the recent Belleview Airlines plane crash in Nigeria.
please see website for detail tail: www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/africa/10/23/nigeria.plane/index.html
Before the death of my father he informed me in confident in one of our trip to the United Kingdom (London) that he has deposited the above sum in a suspense account in HSBC Bank in London and made a formal introduction of the bank director and lawyer to me because he used my name as his next of kin as his only son.
This money he said was deposited for an onward transfer into his business partner’s account for an investment; he told me that the deposit should be a top secret for the both ears only. And that he was doing this to make sure i carry on from anywhere he may stop.
Because as an Africa it is our tradition that a son will continue from where his father stopped and even do better. But as fate my have it he died in a plane crash without concluding his heart desire.
Now I have contacted the lawyer and he is willing to work with me and help me claim the money as next of kin to my late father. I am now contacting you to help me stand as business partner to my late father and help me receive the money into your account.after which I will come over to meet you in your country.
I intend to invest in Real Estate business, though it depends on how lucrative it is in your country, I also count on your advice and guidance.
Please kindly reach my fathers lawyer through his contact below and indicate your interest in this transaction, so as to enable us discuss this transaction in detail.
