Dear,
Following my previous research, I am very happy to inform you that I
have good news for you as per regards to the current development of my
Deceased client,who bears the name with you and a native of your Country who
was
my trusted, wealthy client that died in the January 27th Bomb blast here
in my country. In respect to introduction my name is Barrister fedelis Ogom
a Legal
Attorney with great vision However my late client became a very wealthy
business tycoon after
working formerly with the Texaco Oil for over 20 years till this date before
his sudden death in the January 27th 2002 Bomb blast that rocked his
residence at Steven Toba street, G.R.A Ikeja,here in my Country, in view of
this

Frankly and authoritatively speaking I am very happy to let you
understand that my client left over Two million nine hundred thousand
{USD2. 9 M}
United States of America dollars here in the Platinum Bank Nigeria Ltd
which is the main point to drive home that made me to contact you as I
believe that we both can act like two matured adult.
In coming to the actualization of this transaction for the betterment
of family and us. Be rest assured that as you comply to my directives this
transaction will be executed in a legitimate arrangement that will
prevent you from any breach of law in your country and here as it would be
backed with official documentation required by the Bank endorsed by the
Supreme Court of Nigeria to legalize the claim of this transaction.
I have made all attempts to locate any of my client’s relative but all
attempts have proved unsuccessful that’s why I am counting on you and I
need you to give me a good courage and faith that we can work as two
partners in progress in coming to the realization of this transaction for
the
betterment of family and us.
Finally, all I need from you is your honest cooperation as this
transaction is not related to Imagination or Internet Scam but pure and for
real. I
crave your indulgence to present you as the surviving next of kin to
the deceased so that we can reap from the fruit of this old man labor
before some group of bad and corrupt leaders in my country gets rid of this
money and share it for their own selfish interest instead of the both of us
sharing it for the betterment of family and us.
I am awaiting your expedient response with some good news!!!!!
That you are ready to work hand to hand with me.
Thanks and God bless you,
Truly yours,
Barrister FEDELIS OGOM
