BARRISTER JAMES PETERS
CHAMBERS & SOLICITORS
PLOT 205 AHMADU BELLO WAY
VICTORIA ISLAND,
LAGOS NIGERIA.
Dear Friend,
Please do not be offended for receiving this e mail from me because i
did not seek your consent first before sending, but note that this is a
serious business.
I am Barrister James Peters a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Mr. TERENCE a national of your country, who used to work with Chevron development company in Nigeria and as well a one time secret agent who helps in transferring money for top Government Officials here in Nigeria . Before his death On the 21st of April 2000 my client with all memebers of his family including his wife and their three children in a ghastly car accident along sagamu express road in Lagos .
My client {TERENCE} confided in me and told me that he deposited as
family belongings in a CONSIGNMENT {ie jewelries} the sum of $10.5m in
Centre Point Bank Nig Plc here in Nigeria for himself, with the hope of
transferring it to his country as soon as he is on leave before this
unfortunate incident. Since his death 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 therefore decided
contacted you hence you are a foreigner and have the same surname with him to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client
before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where
these Consignment (Money) were Deposited. Particularly, the Centre
Point Bank Nig Plc where the deceased Deposited the Consignment containing this US$10.5 million dollars since the bank has issued has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3
years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased so that the proceeds of this Consignments (Money) containing
this US10.5 Million dollars can be claimed by you and then you and me
can share the money. 50% to me and 50% to you , all necessary legal
documents that can be used to back up any claim will be secured at the
appropriate time.
All I require 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 send your response to above e mail address or to my alternative e mail
address:jamespeters1@terra.com.mx
Feel free to ask me question on any area you may need clarifications.
Best regards,
Barrister James Peters (Esq)
