Dear Lange
I am Barrister Lima Dunga, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to
Mr James Lange a national of your country, who used to work with Shell
Development Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my
client. On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and their only son
were involved in a car accident along sagbama express road. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.
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 his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the assets and Capital
valued at US$15.5million left behind by my client before they get
confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where
this huge deposits were lodged.
The said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next fourteen
official working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the
relatives for over 2 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the
next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last names,so that the
proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss
the sharing ratio and
modalities for transfer. I have all necessary information and legal
documents needed to back you up for claim.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
PLEASE REPLY THROUGH MY PRIVATE EMAILS : limadunga_9@hotmail.com or

Best Regards,
Barr. Lima Dunga. (Esq)
