Re: transfer of $26,100,000.00 US Dollars.
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by
virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret.
Though i know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the
end of the day. i have decided to contact you due to the urgency of
this transaction.
Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you, I am
b******* T*** I**, attorney to late engineer D****. I came to know of you
in my private search for a reliable and reputable person to handle this
confidential transaction, which involves the transfer of a huge sum of
money to a foreign account.
MY PROPOSITION
A foreigner, late engineer De***, an oil merchant/contractor with the
federal government of Nigeria, until his death 10 years ago in a ghastly
car crash, has an account with the Hab** Nigeria Bank Ltd, my client
has a balance of $26.1m (Twenty Six million, one hundred thousand united
states dollars only) which the bank now unquestionably expects it to be
claimed by any available next-of-kin of the late beneficiary.
fervent efforts are being made by the bank to locate his next-of-kin without
success and since I am his attorney, a letter was sent to me to provide
his next of kin or relatives, which I tried but proved to no avail.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate
any of late engr. De*** next-of-kin (he had no wife and no child) that
the management under the influence of the chairman of the board of
directors stated that the fund should be declared un-claimable.
I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next-of-kin to my
late client so that the funds can be released to you as the beneficiary
next-of-kin, all documents and proves to enable you get this fund $26.1m
will be carefully worked out by me, So i am assuring you of a 100% risk
free involvement.
Pertaining the disbursement of the 26.1million us dollars, i am willing
to let you have 30% of the total sum, while the rest will be for me and
my source. please your earliest respond will be highly appreciated.
This requires maximum confidentiality
Thanks and my regards
Ba******* T*** I**
