ATTN:MY GOOD FDRIEND,
Good day
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 CHIEF BARRISTER CHARLS EMECHIE, 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, For effective communication, I will be grateful if
you disclose your private/confidential;(TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS WITH
YOUR AGE) in your reply. Please get in touch with me by my personal
Emailaddress:(barrcharlsem@yahoo.co.in ) to enable us discuss further.
Regards to your famiys,
CHIEF BARRISTER CHARLS EMECHIE,
