Dear Sir/Ma,
I represent Vincent Enwerem the son of Chief Evan Enwerem, former Governor Imo State of Nigeria (1991-1993) and former Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria..
My dad died recently on the 2nd of August, 2007 and has been buried, may his gentle soul rest in perfect peace..He had two wives and due to the unstability surrounding the family at this time, a whole lot is in disorder..
From my discoveries, i found out some liquid assets with the help of a banking official..Due to the unstable government in my country, i would like for you to be involved in securing the funds overseas with the help of a banking official..
The liquid assets are much & i would like us to act as soon as possible..The government here is very unstable which makes the future uncertain..
Let me know of your interest as soon as possible & would inform you on how we go about it..
Best Regards,
Cohen Richards.
