With Due Respect to Mr Richard
Following my previous research, I am very happy to inform you that I have a
good news for you as per regards to the current development of my deceased
client who bears the name of Mr. Richard a native of your country who was my
trusted, wealthy client whom died in the January 27th Bomb blast here in my
country.
In respect to introduction my name is Barrister Henry a legal attorney with
great vision as I am the private and most trusted attorney to late Mr.
Richard
However my client was a very wealthy business tycoon formerly working with
Shell development oil company for over 20 years till this date before his
sudden death in the January 27th 2002 Bomb blast that rocked his residence
in Steven Toba street, G.R.A Ikeja, here in my country, view of this please
kindly view the BBC web page below to know the reality of this urgent matter
that I have contacted you for.
On Sunday, 27th of January 2002, my client, his wife {Lady Jeniffer and
their three children{Anna, Paul 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

Frankly and authoritatively speaking I am very happy to let you understand
that my client left over Nine million Five hundred thousand Eight hundred
and ten {USD9, 546,810M} United States of America dollars here in the
Oceanic bank of Nigeria Plc which is the main point to drive home that made
me to contact you as I believe that we both can act like two matured adult
in coming to the actualization of this transaction for the betterment of us
and family.
Be rest assured that as you comply to my directing this transaction will be
executed in a legitimate arrangement that will prevent you from any breach
of law in your country as it would be back with official documentation
endorsed by the supreme court of Nigeria to legalize the claim of this
transaction.
I have made all attempts to locate any of my client’s relative but all
attempts have proved unsuccessful that’s why I am counting you and I need
you to give me a good courage and faith that we can work as two partners in
progress in coming to the realization of this transaction for the betterment
of us and family.
Finally, all I need from you is your honest cooperation as this transaction
is not related to Imagination or internet Scam but pure and for real. I
crave your indulgence to present you as the surviving next of kin to the
deceased so that we can reap from the fruit of this old man labor before
some group of bad and corrupt leaders in my country get rid of this money
and share it for their own selfish interest instead of the both of us
sharing it for the betterment of us and family.
I am awaiting your expedient response with some good news!!!!! That you are
ready to work hand to hand with me. please send your reply to Email
