Attn: Please Read! I am soliciting for business proposal to make with you. I do seriously need your help because I am disabled from a motor accident and cannot travel abroad on Doctorâs orders. I was an Oil consultant based in the United Kingdom, and because I helped a lot of foreign Crude Oil Companies to get Crude Oil Lifting Rights and lucrative Oil Contracts from Nigeria, I was able to amass a fortune worth USD50million. On 12th January 2004, I left the UK finally with my family, and came back to Nigeria. But because of the unfavourable political and economic climate in my country, and for security reasons, I left my money total USD50million in a Security Safe Deposit Vault in London. On 2nd March 2005, I and my whole family was involved in a very bad accident on our way home to our Village at Badagry, about 100 km from Abuja, Nigeria; I lost my entire family in the accident, and I myself fell into a coma since thenâ I eventually recovered from coma, and was discharged from the hospital forthnight later. I have no money with which to sponsor any one in Nigeria to undertake the trip for me; in any case , my extended family here abandoned me in hospital when they realized that the money which I came back with had been spent on hospital bills; I am currently living on the charity of the church. And now, I need your help to collect this money in London and invest it in a profitable venture abroad; I cannot bring in this money into Nigeria for fear of seizure by the Government. If the money is properly and profitably invested abroad , I intend to leave Nigeria permanently. Can I count on your help? If you agree to help me, I will send you by courier the ELECTRONIC CARD KEY of my vault so that you can travel to London and open the vault; For your help and assistance, you will keep 30% of the money for your self and keep 70% for me in safe custody until I travel to meet you and invest my shareâ If you agree to help me, please reply giving me the following information: 1.
