My name is Augostinho Barai a gardener of late Dr. Sanjiv Jain an Indian who died with his wife and the only child in a plane crash that cleared off his family on 25th January 2007. The Fokker 100 belonging to Regional Airlines, a subsidiary of the carrier Air France was on a passenger flight between <*xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Pau (France) and Paris (France) with 50 passengers and 4 crewmembers onboard. It crashed while attempting to take-off from Pau airport
in south-western France where Dr. Sanjiv has gone for tourism holiday with his family<*xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
After the death of Dr. Sanjiv I found a written documents of an impending transfer of $2.5 million dollars which is believed to be made from national bank of Dubai to an off-shore account in abroad but was still on transit with the Central bank of U.A.E waiting for final signal from the account officer Anderson Giggs as indicated in the bank access number that I found in the transfer details that he left in his wardrobe.
As I explained earlier I am a poor gardener and wish to seize this opportunity to better my life hence this is what prompted me to contact you and request for your assistance in making sure that the transfer is diverted to your account abroad and you will also assure me that you can be honestly enough and able to procure a visa for me to prepare my traveling to your country and live a better life instead of being a servant all my life.
I will stop here until I have received your reply and you must assure me that you will not betray me when the money is transferred into your account as you know that I cant be able to facilitate the transfer from here and I don’t have the ability or what it takes to achieve that which is more reason am putting all my trust and hope in your hand and believing God that this great opportunity will not pass me by.
When I hear from you I shall give you my contact mobile phone for us to discuss more effectively before I can give you the details of the transfer and other information to enable the transfer be made in your account abroad if only you will be God fearing and honest enough to help me out of this long slavery that I found myself so that I can now live a better life else where.
