Subject: HOW ARE YOU?
I am Barrister stuart fielding, a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to my Late client,who was a contractor with the Federal Ministry Of
Works and Housing in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to my as a
good friend of mine for years.
On the 21st of April 2001, my late client,his wife and their three children
were involved in a car accident along Lagos Ibadan express road,of which all
occupants of the ehicle unfortunately lost their lives.But before the
death of my client,he eposited the sum of $16Million United States Dollars
in a BANK here in Nigeria with the sole intention of acquiring properties
worth the said sum since he was into properties and estate values with the
Federal Government Of Nigeria.
With the POWER OF ATTORNEY issued to me by my Late client before he and his
family met their waterloo,i have been uthorisized to act on all legall
activities Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to
locate any of my clients extended relatives but this has proved
unsuccessful.Hence i contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the BANK where this money is lodged.
I know that you might be wonder why i have decided to trust you with this
huge sum, but the truth is that i need you to get this money out .We have
just few months left or have the account confiscated after four years if
not claimed and this will only mean the rich getting richer because the
finance house will probaly share this money amongs themselves.
After these several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family
to acclaim this money as his next of kin for over 3 years. Now, I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin(Beneficiary) of the deceased
since you both bear
the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at $16
million dollars can be paid to you and then you and i can invest in estate
and properties values. Of which i sought to share the fund with you as
follow: 55% shall be for me
and 40% for you while 5% is earmarked for expenses that will be incurred
during the process of transferring the fund.I will try to provide all
necessary legal documents that can be used to backup any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through.I uarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate atmorsphere
that will protect you from any breach of the law. More so you are to
furnish me with the information
below to enable the bank transfer the fund to your bank account.
1)Your full name and contact address
2)Your Ocupation, Age and Position
3)Your telephone and fax direct numbers for communication purpose.
4)your scanned copy of your id toknow who i am dealing with.
Thank you in anticipation and also wishing prosperous new year ,I look
forward to your urgent response.
Thanks
STUART FIELDING
