FROM BARRISTER DAVID OKON
NO.45 ALLEN AVENUE, OFF
MOSHOOD ABIOLA CRESCENT IKEJA
LAGOS-NIGERIA
PHONE NUMBER:+234-8022273491
Dear leigh,
I am Barrister David Okon, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to
Mr. Richard leigh, a national of your country, who used to work with
shell development company in Nigeria and as well a one time secret agent in
transferring of money overseas for the Late head of state of Nigeria {Late
Gen. SANI ABACHA}.Before his death On the 21st of April 1999 my client,his
wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along
Portharcort Warri express road in which all of them in the car died.
My client {Richard} deposited the sum of $10million in First Bank Nig Plc,
here in Nigeria for himself, with the hope of transferring it to his
country as soon as he is on leave. Since his untimely 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 decided to trace his last name over the Internet,
to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have
contacted you to assist in Transferring the money and property left behind
by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
Bank where these (Money) were Deposited.Particularly, the First Bank Nig
Plc where the deceased Deposited the Money worth of 10 million dollars 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
since you have the same last name with him so that the proceeds of this
(Money) valued at 10 million dollars can be claim by you and then you and
me can share the money 50% each. I have all necessary legal documents that
can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your
honest cooperation 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.
Note: that it does not necessarily matter, whether you are biologically
related to the deceased or not. The fact that your name has something to do
with his, is an express ticket to your assuming the kinship to the deceased.
As you can bear with me, a next of kin to one, may be a Parent, Sister,
Brother, Close Relative, Associate,Friend or even a Well-wisher. So, whether
you are related to him or not is never a barrier to your kinship in the
transaction.
Please,if you accept this business,make sure that you include the bellow
information to enable me proceed with the claim.
1.YOUR FULL NAME.
2. YOUR FULL CONTACT ADDRESS
3. YOUR BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS
4. YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS
Get back to me immediately or you can call me on my private telephone number
+234-8022273491 for more information to enable us discuss further.
Best regards,
Barrister David Okon (Esq)
