Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?VERY=20URGENT?=
Dear Friend,
May the love and peace of God be with you and your family. I am Barrister
eter George, a solicitor at law. I am the Personal Attorney to Engr. Williams
, a National of your Country, who has lived in my country for the past twenty
years, and who hereinafter shall be referred to as my client. In May 4,
2002, an Air Crash involving an Executive Airline Service (EAS) BAC-1-11
Aircraft in Gwammaja Quarters, a densely populated area in Kano State claiming
the lives of about 102 persons both on board and innocent persons around
the Gwammaja Quarters. My client and his family happen to be among the crashed
victims. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating most especially,
the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly,
the Hallmark Bank Plc. where the deceased had an account valued at about
USD4, 150,000.00 (Four million, one hundred and fifty thousand United States
Dollars only) has issued me a notice to provide the Next of kin, or have
the account confiscated. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner.
I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin of the deceased
so that the proceeds of this account valued at 4 .150 million dollars can
be paid to you, as my client's Next of Kin, so that you and me can share
the amount on a mutual agreed percentage. All legal documents to back up
your claim, as the deceased Next of Kin will be provided. All I require
is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee
that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Note that
it does not necessarily matter, whether you are biologically related to
the deceased or not. The fact that your name has something to do with his
is an express ticket to your assuming the kinship to the deceased. As you
can bear with me, a next of kin to one, may be a Parent, Sister, Brother,
Close Relative, Associate, Friend or even a Well-wisher. So, whether you
are related to him or not is never a barrier to your kinship in thetransaction.
Please direct your reply strictly to:peterchambersonline@mail2lawyer.com
I await your most urgent response so as to enable us discuss further about
this transaction and your entitlement on the transaction.
Best regards,
PETER T. GEORGE (Esq
