Subject: Dear Lange
FROM BARRISTER DAVID OKON
NO.45 ALLEN AVENUE, OFF
MOSHOOD ABIOLA CRECENT IKEJA
LAGOS-NIGERIA
PHONE NUMBER: +234-8022273491
Dear Lange,
I am Barrister David Okon, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to
Mr. Richard Lange, 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 client's 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 of Nigeria 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 to 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 claimed by you and then you and
i 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 seeing 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 you 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
this 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 TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS
Get back to me immediately through my private telephone number
+234-8022273491 for more information to enable us discuss further
Best regards,
Barrister David Okon (Esq.)
