LAGOS STATE, NIGERIA.
For your attention.
Following my previous contact, I am very happy to inform you that I have good news for you as per regards to the current development of my Deceased client,who bears the same surname with you and a native of your Country who was my trusted, wealthy client that died in the January 27th Bomb blast here in my country.
In respect to introduction my name is Barrister Francis Udokporoh a Legal Attorney with great vision. However my late client became a very wealthy business magnate after working formerly with the Texaco Oil for over 20 years till this date before his sudden death in the January 27th 2002 Bomb blast that rocked his residence at Steven Toba street, G.R.A Ikeja,here in my Country. In view of this please kindly view the BBC web page below to know the reality of this urgent matter that I have contacted you.
On Sunday, 27th of January 2002, my client, his wife {Lady Lucy and
their three children {Diana, Rufus and Peter} were involved in this terrible Bomb blast that took lives of innocent souls. Unfortunately over 1000 People lost their lives and my client and his family were part of these People that lost their lives. In view of this please view the web page below;

Frankly and authoritatively speaking I am very happy to let you
understand that my client left approximately {USD4.5 M}Four million five hundred thousand United States of America dollars here, which is the main point I believe that we both can act like two matured adult.
In coming to the actualization of this transaction for the betterment
of our families. Be rest assured that as you comply to my directions this transaction will be executed in a legitimate arrangement that will
prevent you from any breach of law in your country and here as it would be backed with official documentation required by the Bank endorsed by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to legalize the claim of this transaction.
I have made all attempts to locate any of my client's relatives, but all attempts have proved unsuccessful. That's why I am counting on you and I need you to give me a good courage and faith that we can work as two partners in progress in coming to the realization of this transaction for the betterment of family and us.
Finally, all I need from you is your honest cooperation as this
transaction is not related to Imagination or Internet Scam but pure and for real. I crave your indulgence to present you as the surviving next of kin to the deceased so that we can reap from the fruit of this old man labor before some group of bad and corrupt leaders in my country gets rid of this money and share it for their own selfish interest instead of the both of us sharing it for the betterment of both of our families.
I am awaiting your expedient response with some good news!!!!!
Thanks and God bless you,
Truly yours,
