Good day to you,
REQUEST FOR URGENT FOREIGN ASSISTANCE.
Dear Honourable,
Accept my appology for any embarrassment this letter may cause you, though it might be emmergency in nature, but every Profitable business contacts Begins a day.
This very contact is strictly PERSONNAL AND CONFIDENTIAL please. I am Barr. David Ibori, a Senior advocate now at my 45 years of age,and I happened to be the personal attorney to a Late American Engr., Named Kenn Lary, He was the petrochemical Engineer / Projects supervisor with Shell petroleum Development Company of Port-Harcourt, who unfortunately lost his life in a ghastly Auto accident which occured along Badagry -Lagos Expressway on 22 day of August 2003, involving his newly married wife and only son. Late Engr. Kenn Lary left in a bank here in P/H , a Deposited sum of US$5 Million Dollars without making any valid legal will (Next of Kin) Before his death. Even none of His Relatives do know about this Deposited sum either.
Worthy of note is that Late Engr. Kenn's very Girlfriend before his death and a key party to this Business also(Miss Lilian Adenuga), a 25 years old girl who happens to be a native of my town also disclosed in confidence to me that her late Daddy in love(Pet) actually Died Intestate. upon my deep down investigations, I discovered that the Bank Hosting this money is tired of long Fruitless Search for the Deceased's Relatives whom they could pay this money to.
Meanwhile, it was yesterday that the Hosting Bank wrote me officially as the Only Attorney to their Dead Customer and gave me a 40 Days ultimatum(Deadline) to provide them with the Legal Documents of Entitlements of Next of Kin to the deceased for their immediate payment to him / her, or otherwise have the loaded account of my late client declared Unserviceable by the Apex Bank.
This motivated my Quick / desperate move to search the web for any capable Foreign person who bear Same Last Name as my Late client or any name possible to enable me use such person's Name and His or her Bank Profiles to write a Demand letter of claim to the Hosting Bank for the easy Release of this money into his/her bank account to be provided, for us to share thereafter for better usage instead. Hence I seek your consent to present you as his Living Next of kin to make the claim of this money safely for ourselves.
Meanwhile, I have assured Legal modalities of which we can Exploit the opportunity of lodging this money into your Bank account over there for us to share thereafter based on Ratio 60% for me and Lilian, and 40% for you, if only you accept and promise to do this Business with us on purely Confidential Basis and Real Trust. I will be sending Lady Lilian or my secretary to you in order to claim our part of the share, and equally give instructions through them on the areas i will likely need you to assist me make some investment there in your country as soon as the transfer is effected.
I need to know your stand on the questions below, if to or not to proceed :
