Dear Sandberg,
I am Barrister George Brown a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney
to Mr.Fredrick Sandberg a national of your country,who worked with the LNG
(liquified Natural Gas) company here in Nigeria. He was involved in a car
accident with his family, his wife and two kids on the 21st of April 2002
along KM 14 Lagos Ocean view Express Way, Since then I have made several
enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients 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 hence I contacted you
I contacted you to assist in claiming this fund from the finance house where
he deposited it before his untimely death. The finance company where the
deceased had an account valued at about USD$13.7 million dollars has issued
me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated
within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account
valued at USD$13.7 million dollars can be paid to you as the next of kin.
All I need is your full maximum support and cooperation to enable us achieve
this transaction within 15 working days and I guarantee you that this will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.
If you are interested in this transaction, kindly furnish me with your full
name, address, age and occupation, private telephone and fax number to
enable us commence immediately.
Best regards,
(Barrister)George Brown
George & Chambers and Associates
Attorney At Law
No.54 Broad Street, Lagos.(BS)
