Subject: GET BACK TO ME THANKS
FROM THE CHAMBERS
BARRISTER JAMES IBE
ATTN; GOOD FRIEND,
I am Barrister JAMES IBE, a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Late Engineer DAVID FORD FOX, native Australia, who
used to work with Shell Oil Development Company .
after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2000,
my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car
accident along sagbama express road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several
enquiries to Embasses 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 repatriating the money and
properties left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where this hug! E deposits were
lodged. Particularly, the NATIONAL BANK PLC where the deceased has an
account valued at about US$9.5 Million, The bank has issued me a
mandate to provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated
within the next 6 weeks. 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 so that the proceeds of this
account valued at US$9.5 Million can be paid to your nominated
account and then you and I can have the money. 55% to me and 40%
to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup any
claims we may make. Hence all I require from you is your honest
cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of the Law. Please get in touch with me immediately
if you are interested and trustworthy, as I do not have much time in
my disposal.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation.
Best Regards,
Barr. JAMES IBE. (Esq.)
