PRINCIPAL ATTORNEY OF OLUWAKEMI CHAMBERS
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Dear friend I am Barrister Oluwakemi A. Pinheiro, . I am the Personal Attorney to Mr.Fredrick Han,a Foreigner who used to work with Atlas Dredging company in Nigeria.On the 21st of April 2004, my client,his wife were involved in a car accident along Sagbama Express Road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but to no avail,hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money left behind
by my late client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.The bank where my late client deposited US$ $7.3 million has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the money confiscated within the next twenty official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesful in locating his relatives for over two years,
I decided to seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country so that the proceeds of this amount valued at $7.3 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money.50% to me and 35% to you,while 10% goes to Katrina and Rita victims, 5% should be for expenses or taxes as your government may require.
I will procure all necessary legal _document_s that can be used to back up any claim we may make.All I need from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see 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 you may wish to reply me through this email; pin4ukemi@yahoo.
best regards
Oluwakemi A. Pinheiro
