Dear friend,
I am Barrister Abubaker Suleimanm of Abubaker chambers and Associate. I am
the financial
lawyer to the late Mr.Sodaro Scott from United States of America,Mr
Sodaro was an oil merchant with estment in the leading oil Africa. He
invested in lifting oil from Niger delta in Nigeria to other countries where
he sales it. He was the highest shareholder in Shell petroleum Bp in 1994.Mr
Sodaro Scott met his untimely death via plane crash in the 2003.I was
contacted as his lawyer by the board of director, shell Bp to look for the
relative of late Scott Wood to enable them transfer the accumulated
share dividend of his investment with the Union bank of NIgeira Plc. it is
about two years now. I made some research about the relatives of Mr Sodaro
and discorvered through some DNA reports that some other two passengers in
the same plane happend to be his wife and only daughter Paula Scott Sodaro
who also died along with him in the crash.I am contacting you so that both
of us can reach an agreement to enable you act as his next of kin and claim
the fund.Of course they will believe me because I am his financial lawyer
untill his death. and I have all his business documents with me.I would have
use someone from here for the purppose but the fact that late Mr.Sodaro is
a white man made it impossible for me to present a black man as his next of
kin which of course, the bank will not honour.All the documentwill be
validated in your name and shall be drafted by me to include your name in an
application which be forwarded to the bank for the claims.The money is just
USD15.5Million dollars. I will personally monitor the progress of the
transaction as your lawyer.After we suceed in transfering the money into
your
account, we will give some portion of the money to charity home in your
country and then share the remaining in the ratio 70% to30% between you and
I.If you are willing to work with me in this regard, please, forward to me
through this email address:.abubaker_suleimanm@yahoo.co.in
1) Your full name and contact address
2) your phone/fax lines
Thanks and God bless you.
Barrister Abubaker suleimanm.
