Subject: GOOD NEWS/VERY URGENT TO YOU DEAR
Dear Sir,
I feel safe and secured contacting you. I am highly delighted to be in
contact with you and sorry for the embarrassment this mail might be to you
as we have not met or known each other before.Although, I hate this medium
of contact (Internet) but I chose it because it still remain the fastest,
most reliable and most secured.
My name is BARRISTER JOHNSON WILLIAMS K. I was the Personal Attorney to Late
MR.PAUL PETERSERN A National of your country, who was a contractor with
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation [NNPC]and spent most of his life in
my country Nigerai.and nationalised in Nigeria.
He and his Family were involved in a car accident a long Lagos Stretch and
unfortunately lost their lives on the 1st day of October 2002 in Nigeria.
Since then I have made several enquiries at the Embassy to locate any of my
late client's extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful, he has no
next-of-kin at the time of his death.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you since
all my effort to trace or locate any member of his family failed me, so that
you as a foreigner will assist me as my late client's Next-of-Kin in
repatriating the Assets and Capital valued at US$20.5 Million dollarleft
behind by my late client before it gets confiscated by the bank where this
huge deposit was lodged.
The said bank in Nigeria had several times issued me notice to provide the
Next of Kin or have the deposit confiscated. Since I have been unsuccessful
in locating any of my late client's relatives for over two years now, I seek
your CONSENT to present you as the Next-of-Kin to my late client, so that
the deposit can be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the
sharing ratio and modalities for claim. I have all the necessary information
and legal documents needed to back you up for the claim. All I require from
you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.
Should you decide to assist me in this regard, please furnish me with the
following information through my private
email address: barr_johnwilliamsk@yahoo.com, immediately.
1. Your full banking details
2. Your private phone and fax numbers
3. Your full name
4. Your contact address
5. Your age/occupation
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from anybreach of the law both in the Nigeria, your country
and internationally.
Am waiting your urgent response.
Best regards,
BARRISTER JOHNSON WILLIAMS K
