Hello,
I am barrister James Frank. A Personal Attorney at law.
On the 10th of June 2000, my client, his wife and their three children
were involved in a car accident along Abba Express Road PortHarcourt City,
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to here to locate any of my client
extended relatives this has proved unsuccessful since the decesed died along
with his entire family. After several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to
track his last name over the Internet; basically to locate any member of
his family hence I contacted you. I contacted you to assist in recovering
the Fund valued at {US$15.Million} left behind by my client before it gets
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where this huge amount
were deposited.
The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confiscated within the next one month of official working days.
As you should understand, my chieftly reason of my contacting you is just
for your surname sake, as you bear similar surname with my late client.
I deem it relvant to doing this business with you provided you have any
of your Government recognised form of indentity such as International passport
or Drivers lincence that is writteen your Surname. This alone will prove
your legitimacy before the management of the Bank where this $15million
is deposited, and this will go a long way removing any iota of doubt of
your identity as a relative of my late client.
Therefore, it is very important that you uphold this golden opportunity
to assist in getting the Fund Re transfered to your account of your choice
or else the Bank will confiscate the huge amount on finding out that there
is no relations of his comming up for this money. What you need to do now
is that you have to stand as the next of kin for approval by the Bank for
immediate transfer of the Fund to your account.
You should therefore be informed that you have to make available a good
Bank account where the Fund will be transfered. For your information, All
Document covering the transaction is intact with me and can be sent to you
if you want. I will like to discuse with you on one on one for more clearification.
Your telephone is required urgently. In case you want to reach me, You can
call me at your convinent on my direct line: 234-8032311165
Further informations will be related to you as soon as i hear from you.
Please send all these information to me immediately
Your contact information's
Your telephone and fax numbers
Thanks and GOD BLESS
Best Regards,
Barister James Frank.
