MANSU ALIMA & ASSOCIATES
(LEGAL PRACTITIONERS)
# 34 ELEGBATA STREET
LAGOS-NIGERIA.
With compliments and respect please I beg your pardon
for this unsolicited nature, it was was out of
desperation and Curiosity that made me to contact you,
to introduce myself, I am Barrister MANSU ALIMA, a
solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Engr.
Thompson Owens, a national of your country, who used
to work with Shell Petroleum Development Company
(SPDC) here in Nigeria, is referred to as my trusted
client.
On Sunday, 27th of January 2002, my client, his wife
{Lady Anna and their three children{Elizbeth,Dexter
and James} were involved in terrible bomb blast that
took live of innocent souls and unfortunately over
1000, people lost their lives and my client and his
family were part of this people that lost their
lives.In view of this please view the web page below
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2698081.stm
Since then I have made several enquiries to your
embassy to locate any of my client's 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 or any close name to his,
hence I contacted you. I am contacting you to assist
in repatriating the money and property left behind by
my client before they get liquidated or declared
Unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits
were lodged, particularly the UNION BANK PLC where the
deceased had his account valued precisely to be USD$
18. million dollar} The bank has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the account liquidated
within the next twenty one official working days.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
national of same country to stand in as the next of
kin, so that the fruits of this old man's labour will
not get into the hands of some group of corrupt
government officials who will get rid of the money and
share it for their own selfish interest and greed.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your prompt
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$ 18, Million
can be paid to you and then you and I can share the
money according to any agreed ratio.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us
see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be
executed under legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law. Looking
forward to your swift reply.
Regards,
Barrister MANSU ALIMA.
