Subject: Seaman
Dear Sir
I am Isa Ibrahim, personal attorney to Mr.Seaman Khun, a national of your
country, who used to work with pipeline coating company called Brodero Shaw
here in Nigeria here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the Friday 28 November 2003 my client and six foreign oil workers
including one Briton and at least one Australian was kidnapped in Nigeria.
(http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/73392EEC-34E4-428B-933E-888566795883.htm)
you can check this over this website.
Unfortunately, all kidnapped lost their lives as the vehicle caught fire
after exchanging fire with the security agents.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track this over the Internet,
to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client prior to his death before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this huge deposits were lodged particularly, in a Bank(First National
Bank) where the deceased had an account valued at about US$20.5 Million
dollars.
The bank had issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confiscated within the next forteen official working days. Since I
have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased that the
proceeds of this account valued at US$20.5million dollars can be paid to you
and then we can share the money afterwards.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us in seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me by my email address above or
barrisaibrahim@katamail.com enable us further details.

Barrister Isa Ibrahim(ESQ)
