RAMSON PETER & BAR ASSOCIATES
ATTORNEY AVENUE, PLOT 14'EWERE,
ASABA, NGA.
ATTENTION,
It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and assistance in the context stated below.
I am Barrister Ramson Peter,the personal Attorney to the late Mr. Frank Watson. I got your contact through the help of my
sister-in-law that works with the Chambers of Commerce and Tourism, though I did not disclose to her my humble intention
for an honest foreigner like you having noted the confidence reposed on your person by the sponsor of the recommendation.
My late client was the Chief Executive officer of Shell Development Company for 15 years and he was retired on the 30th day
of September 2001. After a month, My client and his entire family died on their way to a Conference in a Plane crash on the
30th day of October 2001.
Before his death, he had a total sum of US$$9,500,000.00 (Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars), with
a finance house Hoping of transferring the fund to his country after his retirement as soon as he comes back from the
conference. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4 years now I seek your consent to present you
as the next of kin of the deceased.
I agree to pay you 40% of the fund as the account owner, 60% for me. Do Provide the following information for the application
processing.
1 Your full name...............
2 Contact address..............
3 Phone and fax number.........
4 0ccupation...................
5 Age..... ....................
All these information will enable me write an application to the bank on your behalf and present you to the bank as the real
next of kin to my late client.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this business successful. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement which will protect you from any breach of the law. Frank Watson was a very good man and it
is not wise for me to allow his hard earned wealth to be stolen by the greedy directors of the finance house.
Thanks and God bless.
Barrister Ramson Peter
