ATTN: Lange Neto
I crave your indulgence for the unsolicited nature of this letter, but it was borne out of
desperation and current development. please bear with me.
I am Barrister Frank Gardner, a solicitor at law. I was the Personal attorney to Jose Lange Neto who deposited the sum of US$15.5million (fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a trust firm. Herein after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of January,2001,my client, his
wife and their three Children were involved in a ghastly motor accident here in Lagos.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. I know that my client had no
living kin but I went ahead and made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful.
A situation I have monitored closely with my position in the society. Now, having monitored this deposit and managed it over the years before and after his death, and hence nobody has showed up as the second next of kin for the past years now, I have removed the file to my "private vault".
I now humbly solicit for your assistance in this issue. I wish to present you as the second
next of kin to this our client so as to claim out this money, before it is remitted into the
federal account where other people may as well claim it directly without going to this
length.
I have taken every necessary precautionary measures concerning this issue and arrangement has been concluded by the bank director and me in achieving this goal, provided you will follow my instructions in the process. I am only waiting for your response to enable me move the funds to your agreed safe account.
This does not have any risk attached to it as all the internal documentations would be
handled by me and every loop holes sealed also provided you give me your assistance and support.
I therefore request you to confirm your interest by a return message on francgarddner@yahoo.com and I will furnish you with the full details and what to do
concerning this deal. What you stand to gain would be discussed and it is negotiable before the deal commences.
Kindly provide me with your full name, address, and telephone/fax. Thank you in anticipation of your urgent response to my request stating your wish in this
Transaction.
Kind regards,
Barr. Frank Gardner
