From: "MRS STACEY BUSH" <staceybush@mac.com>
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 11:30:25
Subject: URGENT RESPOND
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Dear SIR/MA,
I am Barrister Stacey Bush an advocate and Solicitor. I am the
Personal Attorney to Mr. Fredrick WOLFF a foreigner, who used to work with
European Development Company in Nigeria. On The 21st of April 2001,my
client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident
along Sagbama Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately
lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to his
embassy to see if I can locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has
all the while proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his relatives (i.e. same surname) over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I
contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at
about 15.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin to the deceased or have the account confiscated within the next
twenty one official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating
the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased since you are still a foreigner, so that
the proceeds of this account valued at $15.5million USD can be paid to
you and then you and i can share the money, 60% to me and 35% to you,
while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require. 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.
Best regards,
Barrister Stacey Bush
