Dear Stubbs,
Before I start, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you. I
am also aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to start a
relationship, but I believe as time goes on, you will realize the need for
my actions. I am Barrister Dele Belgore I'm the Personal Financial Attorney
to Mr. Frederick Stubbs, a national of your country, who used to work with
Chevron Nigeria Ltd (CNL).
On the 24 April 2004 21:51 hrs, my client who is Chevron subcontractor
including five other people were attacked and killed by the river pirates of
the Niger Delta, including one other US oilman, in an attack on workers
inspecting abandoned wells in southern Nigeria's strife-torn Niger Delta,
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 trace his relatives over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I
contacted through the help of my cousin that works in the AMERICAN CHAMBERS
OF COMMERCE, planning and industry. (Please visit the homepage for more
update.)
(http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_world/view/81685/1/.html)
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money that belongs to my
client before they get confiscated or declared serviceable by the bank where
these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the deceased
had an account valued at about $10.4 million dollars has issued me a notice
to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next
21 official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over A year now I seek your consent to present you as the next
of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country and bear the same
last name, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $10.4 million
dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 62% to
me and 30% to you, while 8% should be for expenses or tax as your government
may require, I have the certificate of deposit that can be used to back up
any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this dealt
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 through my Personal email Address. barristerdele1@gmail.com
Best Regards,
Barrister Dele Belgore

NB: PLEASE NOTE THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE NOT RELATED TO MY LATE
CLIENT; THE FUND WILL STILL BE PAID TO YOU, SINCE I AM PRESENTING YOU AS HIS
NEXT OF KIN
