Dear Trudeau ,

With compliments and respect please I beg your pardon for this unsolicited nature, it was out of desperation and Curiosity that made me to contact you, to introduce myself.

I am Barrister Usman Johnson, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Sir (Mr.Michael Trudeau ), a national of your resident country , who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) here in Nigeria, is referred to as my trusted client.

On Sunday, 27th of January 2002, my client, his wife {Lady Anna and their three children{Elizbeth,Dexter and James} were involved in terrible bomb blast that took live of innocent souls and unfortunately over 1000, people lost their lives and my client and his family were part of this people that lost their lives.

In view of this please view the web page below http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2698081.stm
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client's extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family or any close name to his, hence I contacted you.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get liquidated or declared Unserviceable by the security company where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the security/financial company in Cotonou-Republic of Benin where the deceased had his account valued precisely to be Fifteen million eight hundred thousand United State Dollars.

The sercurity company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account liquidated within the next twenty one official working days.

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please send me your mailing address and your direct contact telephone numbers.You can contact me through my alternative e-mail address : usmanjohn99@yahoo.co.in

  • Wasn't there a web site that was devoted to stringing these guys along and getting them to humiliate themselves? I seem to recall they told one guy that he had to convert to their religion before they could send him the money and they asked him to send photos of himself performing various acts as proof.

  • Yo, this is a scam - it sounds too easy to be real, wake up if think some guy you have never heard of - an ocean away, in a crime ridden area, known for scams, will promise you a fortune if he will come thru and just give you $15M, this guy sent me the same email with my family last name in it's place, the wife and kids name were the same, the email word for word was sent to me, he wanted my bank info and address, his phone number was bogus too, it would be nice to get this kind of $ so we want to believe it, but in reality people who do this kind of scam need to have legal reprocussions pressed against them for feeding off the people who may feed into it and have serious punishment - yes you Mr. Usman Johnson(U.S. man/ Johnson - Generric US name!) come on not all of us are that stupid, I hope all people who you sent that letter to read this and you need to not do it again - get a real job and quit trying to scam people out of their money - go make your own money in an honest manner!

    Dear Friend, I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting
    those funds transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from Chile.
    Presently I'm in Chile for investment projects with my own share of the
    total sum. Meanwhile, I didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to
    assist me in transferring those funds despite that it failed us some
    how. Now contact my secretary, his name is Mr.MARCEL ANAGOR
    ,Email;marcelanagor@yahoo.com, ask him to send you the total $800.000.00 which
    I kept for your compensation for all the past efforts and attempts to
    assist me in this matter. I appreciated your efforts at that time very
    much. so feel free and get in touched with my secretary Mr. MARCEL
    and instruct him where to send the amount to you. Please do let me know
    immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy after all the
    sufferness at that time. in the moment, I am very busy here because of
    the investment projects which me and the new partner are having at
    hand, finally,remember that I had forwarded instruction to the
    secretary on your behalf to receive that money, so feel free to get in touch
    with Mr MARCEL ANAGOR and he will send the amount to you without any
