Subject: To Your Kind Attention
FROM THE DESK OF BARRISTER IDEHEN SAM,
EAST LEAGON,
ACCRA GHANA,WEST AFRICA.
ATTN,PLS GET BACK TO ME.
Dear Sir,
Greetings to you from the most high
I am highly Compelled upon strict recommendation, to write you this Very Urgent and confidential letter. I am Barrister Idehen Sam,An Attorney at Law. I was the personal attorney to Late Mr.lewis Zachary, in the year 2000-2004. He is a national of your country, who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development Company in Ghana. On the 12th of November 2004 it was reported to us that our late customer, his Wife and their only Daughter were involved in a car accident along Tema - Aflao Road.
Unfortunately, all occupants of the vehicle lost their lives. Since then I have looked forward to his Bank to receiving a requisition letter to transfer his estate to his next of kin which until now we have not received. Now, I took it upon myself as a responsibility to make sure the funds are transferred to his next fo kin which still has proved unsuccessful even after several inquiries to the Embassy here in Ghana to locate any of my late client's extended relatives.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I had to get an alternative hence I contacted you for our own benefits. All I want you to do is to assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$ 13Million (Thirteen Million United States Dollars) deposited in his bank before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable. For the fact that I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives or other direct members of the family of my late clients for over Two Months now, I seek your consent for you to stand in as the Next of Kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ration and modalities for transfer. I have all necessary information and guidelines, all I require from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. But it is imminent I state to you clearly now that this transaction should be executed through normal proceedings. I guarantee that this will be executed under an arrangement that will be highly protected by me here. I hope to receive your positive response and your co-operation in keeping this highly Confidential.
Thanks,
Barrister Idehen Sam.
