BARRISTER BAYO & ASSOCIATES
(Legal Practitioner/notary public)
Plot 21 Ajao Housing Estate Garriki,
Abuja Nigeria.
EMAIL: barr.bayo900@yahoo.co.uk
Dear sir\madam,
I am Barrister bayo, the personal attorney to Mr. Williams,
a He was among the victim of the bomb explosion that took
place on 5th February 2002 Lagos Nigeria. Who is an American
oil consultant/contractor with via Nigerian Liquefied
Natural Gas (NLNG) my client deposited the sum of
US$10Million dollars (Ten million United State Dollars) with
a SECURITY COMPANY that has an affiliate in London. On
maturity, after some months I couldn't hear from my client
again and finally I discovered from his contract employee
(Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas) indicating that my Client
was among the victim of the bomb explosion.
And it was clear that he died without making a will to any
of his relation with my office. All attempts have been made
to see if I could get any of his relation but all of no
available. I therefore decided to look for a foreigner
bearing the same name with my Client who will stand as his
next of kin to claim this fund. The total sum of US$10
Million is still with the SECURITY COMPANY. No one will come
and claim it except the next of kin to my Client. And
according to Nigerian banking law, after three years, the
money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian
Government. If the account owner is certified death and no
body comes forward to claim it.
This is the situation, and my plan is looking for a
foreigner who will stand in as the beneficiary/next of kin.
This is simple. All you have to do is to send me Your
company name and address if any, Your telephone and fax
numbers which I will use to process and procure all the
legal papers/documents that backs you up as the true next of
kin to my client and I will submit it to the Finance house
for proper Claim of the fund and we are going to share in
the ratio of 60% for me 40% for you.
There is no risk involved. Because I will use my position as
attorney and prepare all the legal documents/papers the
SECURITY COMPANY may/would demand from you for this
transaction. If you are interested, please reply and be rest
assured that this transaction could be most profitable for
both of us.
I am waiting for your quiet reply.
Respectfully,
Barrister bayo.
