Hello Lange,
I know this may sound ridiculous and unreal, but you must understand that life is all about chance and utilization of opportunities that comes our way. PLEASE DONT BE EMBARASSED NOR OFFENDED BY MY E-MAIL TO YOU. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT OUT OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE, I CHOOSE TO CONTACT YOU. Is obvious we don’t know each other yet, but we don’t know why nature is crossing our path today. Meeting new people in our lives is a never-ending circle. You are like God sent to me today as I type this email to you. You may think this is too good to be real, but I am telling you today that as God lives, this is as real as the air both of us breath.
Let me start by Formally introducing myself to you. I am Barrister EUSTACE OKORO a Legal Practitioner. I am the Attorney representing Engr. James Lange,who lost his life in 2004 December Tsunami disaster while on vacation with his family in Thailand at the famous tourist resort Island of Phuket. According to report reaching me, based on an extensive inquiry through Nigeria Embassy in Thailand revealed that my client never survived the devastating Tsunami disaster.
My deceased client lived most of his lifetime in Nigeria and took here as a home, since according to him he was raised up in an orphanage in his country having been abandoned by his mother. As a consultant to Oil Prospecting Companies in Nigeria he made fortune for himself and I have been his personal Attorney for a period of five years.
Now to the issue-Based on my relationship with my client, he informed me of some wonderful ideas he wants to embark on which was to build one or two mosque and even churches around the third world countries and Asia and also donate money to churches, mosques and also to less privilege homes around the globe too with this deposit of US$2.860.000.00m he made through a CODED account in his local bank here in Africa and gave me the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT to keep as his lawyer. In the event of his death, unfortunately, his wife and child who statutorily are his next of kin are no more and under the existing law here, the Surviving relatives of my deceased client becomes the benefactor. It is as a result of this development that compelled me to go into an extensive search in the Internet for possible trace of his family linage but to no avail.
THE BANK Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors, started arrangement for the fund to be declared "Unclaimed" and subsequently be donated as trust fund for arms/ ammunition to further enhance the course of War in Africa for their selfish political interest/investment. In order to avert this negative development, I hereby need your cooperation in order to see that the Will of my late client is actualized. I can never achieve this objective without a trustworthy foreigner and this is where you come in.
However, I want to seek your consent to present you as a relative to My deceased client by virtue of family linage since coincidentally you have same last name with my late client. As attorney to the deceased the responsibility to establish your relationship with my client rest on me and to achieve this objective, there are judicial processes involved, which I will brief you on subsequent correspondence if you indicate interest. Also take note that this is 100% risk free and legal.
I am not pursuing this claim for the financial gain. It is a duty I owe to my late client as I intend to use part of the funds to establish a foundation in his name; notwithstanding you will be adequately rewarded for your assistance in this endeavour I have decided to offer you 30% of the said funds. Expecting to hear from you as soon as possible.
