Dear Sir,
Notification Update!
As Trustee and Executor of the estate of our late client, who was the
Executive Director of Nigeria's Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (LNG), He was
tragically assassinated on the 10th day of January 2002 with members of his
family (his wife and three sons) who visited him as a result of the
Niger-Delta crisis and violence over petroleum products management.
Our client left Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
with Chartered Bank Plc and now his deposit is ready for execution. On my
last visit to the bank, I was made to produce my late client's overseas
representative to claim the fund; otherwise his deposits will not be
released.
Since his next of kin's are dead I want you to front as the legal
representative to claim the deposits. All I require is your honesty,
co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that
this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of the law.
Please If I reach you as I am hopeful I will, endeavour to get back to me as
soon as possible to enable me conclude my job. You should forward along your
full names, your current address, and your current telephone and fax
numbers. This is to enable us make proper documentations needed to make this
claim from the bank.
I hope to hear from you in no distant time. Therefore, act at once to avoid
risk of forfeiture/ forfeit to the deceased family.
Please reconfirm your full names, phone number and address immediately via
email (honeywellassociates@myway.com).
Yours in service,
Mike Patrick
Honeywell & Associates
