ATTENTION
It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and
assistance in the context stated
below, I am Barrister Rotimi Adams,the personal attorney to the late Mr.
Frank Gibbs. I got your
contact through the help of my sister-in-law that works with the American
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 {Agip petroluem
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 Car crash on the 30th
day of October 2001.
Before his death my client had a total sum of US$20m with a finance house
Hoping of transferring
the fund to his country {United States of America} after his retirement as
soon as he comes back
from the conference.According to the {DEED OF WILL} made by my late client,
He wrote a {DEED
OF WILL} that if anything should happen to him, That i should locate any of
his family member.
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 since you are a foreigner
like my late client. I
agree to pay you 40% of the fund as the account owner, 60% for me.do Provide
the
followinginformation for the application processing.
1 your full name..........................................
2 contact address....................................
3 phone and fax number.........................
4 Age..... ..................................................
All this 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 requires 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 Gibbs 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.You are also advise to
put a stop in contacting
any body in world regarding the transfer of this fund because i am the only
lega attorney
authorised by the Central Bank Of Nigeria (CBN) to handle this transaction
with.
Thanks and God bless.
