Subject: MESSAGE FROM THE LAWYER
Dear Sir
I am BARRISTER HAMED IBRAHIM (ATTORNEY). I know that a transaction of this
magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you
that everything will be well at the end of the day. I got your email address
through our chamber of commerce, trade and industry while searching for
trustworthy individual who will assit me in this business.
My client by name Mr. Barry Kelly an American national and oil consultant
who I have been his legal representative (Attorney) for many years died with
the members of his family in autobile accident on 17th July 2001. He has
$38,500,000.00 (Thirty eight million five hundred thousand US dollars)
floating in his suspense account and all the effort to locate any member of
his family through their Embassy here proved abortive.
Now, this money is still in the bank and nobody is coming to claim the
money, the Management under the influence of their Chairman and Members of
the Board of Directors ECOBANK PLC mandated me as his lawyer to provide the
next of kin or his relation and failure to do so after 5years, the fund will
be declared "Unclaimed" and subsequently be donated to the trust funds for
arms and ammunition according to bank law. This will enhance the course of
War in Africa and the World in general, this is totally a wrong idea, and it
is not good for the world. People are dying outside there due to one or more
dreadful diseases and we can make their lives more meaningful.
In the light of the above. I need you as a foreigner to act as the next of
kin. You will arrange for a bank account I will submit to bank that you are
next of kin to Barry Kelly with your account details as to where the fund
will be transferred as a distance relation.
Send me the following: the name of your Bank you want us to use,
Address of your Bnak,
Account number,
Account Beneficiary,
Swift code(if any)
After the successful transfer of this fund to your account, I will make
arrangement to come to your country so that we can share the fund, Your
share will be 30% while 10% is set aside for any expenses incurred during
the course of this project both local and international, the rest of 60%
will be for myself. Please this business is 100% risk free.
Remember to send me your phone and fax number. My sincere regards to you and
your family.
For urgent attension, reply through this email:hamedibrahim01@mighty.co.za
Best Regards,
Barrister HAMED IBRAHIM .
