Dear Friend,
Following my previous research, I am very happy to inform you that I have a
good news for you as per regards to the current development of my deceased
client who bears the name of Mr. Manfred Becker, a native of your country
who was my trusted, wealthy client whom died in the
January 27th Bomb blast here in my country.
In respect to introduction my name is Barrister Charles Bello a legal
attorney with great vision as I am the private and most trusted attorney to
the deceased.
However my client was a very wealthy business tycoon formerly working with
the Nigeria airways for over 20 years till this date before his sudden death
in the January 27th 2002 Bomb blast that rocked his residence in Steven Toba
street, G.R.A Ikeja, here in my country, view of this please kindly view the
BBC web page below to know the reality of this urgent matter that I have
contacted you for.
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
Frankly and authoritatively speaking I am very happy to let you understand
that my client left over Twenty Five Million {USD 25 M} United States of
America dollars here in the Access bank of Nigeria Plc which is the main
point to drive home that made me to contact you as I believe that we both
can act like two matured adult in coming to the actualization of this
transaction for the betterment of us and family.
Be rest assured that as you comply to my directing this transaction will be
executed in a legitimate arrangement that will prevent you from any breach
of law in your country as it would be back with official documentation
endorsed by the supreme court of Nigeria to legalize the claim of this
transaction.
I have made all attempts to locate any of my client's relative but all
attempts have proved unsuccessful that's why I am counting you and I need
you to give me a good courage and faith that we can work as two partners in
progress in coming to the realization of this transaction for the betterment
of us and family.
Finally, all I need from you is your honest cooperation as this transaction
is not related to Imagination or Internet Scam but pure and for real. I
crave your indulgence to present you as the surviving next of kin to the
deceased so that we can reap from the fruit of this old man labor before
some group of bad and corrupt leaders in my country get rid of this money
and share it for their own selfish interest instead of the both of us
sharing it for the betterment of us and family.
I am awaiting your expedient response with some good news!!!!! That you are
ready to work hand to hand with me.
Thanks and God bless you,
Regards,
Barrister Charles Bello .
