GREG MARVINS HAS BEEN KILLED AND I CONTACT YOU TO ENSURE THAT WE BRING THIS
TRANSACTION TO CONCLUSSION THIS TIME:
**My name is Morris Peterson, a principal member of Marvins & Morris
International Associates, a law firm specialized in oil and maritime
contract, employment agreements and documentations.
With a bleeding heart I bring you this news; Barrister Greg Marvins is dead.
He was murdered in the early hours of May 20th 2008 by unknown men suspected
to be sponsored by those aggrieved over his excellent legal victory in court
ruling that the NUPENG oil company pay and be made to pay and shall pay all
contract sum, salaries and allowances amounting over $12,000.000.00 to your
late compatriot - Engr. Anderson a victim of kidnap who had died as a result
of severe torture and inhuman treatment by militants.
I am very much aware of his contacting you these couple of days (before his
sudden death) on the possible transfer of this amount of money to you since
your countryman (our late client) was unable to set his preference as to
whom his Next of Kin is and should be before his sudden death the sad event
which took place in April 2007 and the both of you are yet on the
preliminary stage - still discoursing terms and conditions - hence no
transfer of any fund has been effected yet.
Engineer Anderson had died following severe inhuman treatment and torture
melted on him by militants of the oil-rich Niger-delta of Nigeria and the
oil company tried to conceal the incident but thank God for our boldness in
instituting the case out of which we came out victoriously and now we are
faced with the task of securing payment of his total contract due from the
oil company following the court ruling hence I contact you.
As his partner, I want you to direct all further correspondence in the light
of this development to me via your response to this presentation so that we
can profer all modalities to concluding this transaction. Please take note
that your agreement with my former colleague (Greg Marvins) that you
are share the fund in a 50 - 50 ratio after it has been transferred to your
account still remain the same.
In your response, please send me the below information to enable me procure
relevant legal documents to statutorily position you as the next of kin and
beneficiary to the fund for which the federal high court ruled in favor of
our late client.
1, YOUR COMPLETE NAMES
2, COMPLETE REGULAR ADDRESS
3, OCCUPATION/PROFESSION
4, PERSONAL TELEPONE NUMBERS
Be rest assured that we shall conclude this transaction on a timely, free
and fair condition without subjecting any party to any form of danger, risk
and breach of law even as applicable in your country.
Please revert to me with deserved urgency.
Most Obliged
Morris Peterson.*
