Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Alfred Ubah, a solicitor at law. I am the personal Attorney
to Mr.Warner , a national of your country, who used to work with shell
Development Company in Nigeria. Here in, after shall be referred to as my
client.
On the 4th of May 2002,my client and his family died in an plane crash along
the northern district of Kano, click on the link below to view info about
the accident.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968616.stm

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 who has the same last
name from the same country over the Internet to stand for the claim of this
money as the next of kin to my client.Therefore, I have contacted you to
assist me in getting his money and property left behind by my client before
they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the company where this
huge deposits were lodged which you are required to stand as a relation to
him.
Particularly, the Groove wood finance Trust company which the affiliate is
in Europe where the deceased had an account valued at about $15 million
dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the money
confiscated within the next ten official working days since i have tried to
make the claim myself without success. since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present
you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name to
secure this amount valued at 15million dollars can be paid to you and then
we will share the money, 50% for me, 40% for you and 10%will be mapped out
to take care of the expenses to be incurred during the transaction before
sharing.
Subsequently, there is nothing to fear about as I shall provide all
Necessary legal documents that can be used to back up the claim of this
money as soon as you show your interest in this matter.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal
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 me through my confidential e-mail address via
(ualfred1859@yahoo.com) For the successful transaction, you have to feel
free and send me your private telephone and fax numbers with your full
contact information, these i will use in forwarding the claim in your favour
as the next of kin.
Regards,
Barrister Alfred Ubah.
