Subject: MESSAGE FROM THE LAWYER
Dear Sir
I am BARRISTER Hamed Ibrahim (ATTORNEY). I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything will be well at the end of the day. I got your email address through our chamber of commerce, trade and industry while searching for trustworthy individual who will assit me in this business.
My client by name Mr. Barry Kelly an American national and oil
consultant who I have been his legal representative (Attorney) for many years died with the members of his family in autobile accident on 17th July 2001. He has USD$38,500,000.00 (Thirty eight million five hundred thousand US dollars)floating in his suspense account and all the effort to locate any member of his family through their Embassy here proved abortive.
Now, this money is still in the bank and nobody is coming to claim the money, the Management under the influence of their Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors ECOBANK PLC mandated me as his lawyer to provide the next of kin or his relation and failure to do so after 6years, the fund will be declared "Unclaimed" and subsequently be donated to the trust funds for arms and ammunition according to bank law.
This will enhance the course of War in Africa and the World in general,this is totally a wrong idea, and it is not good for the world. People are dying outside there due to one or more dreadful diseases and we can make their lives more meaningful. In the light of the above. I need you as a foreigner to act as the next of kin. You will arrange for a bank account I will submit to bank that you are next of kin to Barry Kelly with your account details as to where the fund will be transferred as a distance relation. Send me the following: the name of your
Bank you want us to use,
Address of your Bank,
Account number,
Account Beneficiary,
Swift code(if any)
Your private Phone number
Phone number of your Bank
After the successful transfer of this fund to your account, I will make arrangement to come to your country so that we can share the fund, Your share will be 30% while 10% is set aside for any expenses incurred during the course of this project both local and international, the rest of 60% will be for myself. Please this business is 100% risk free. Remember to send me your phone and fax number. My sincere regards to you and your family. For urgent attension, reply through this Email:(lawbarristerhamedibrahim@yahoo.com)
Best Regards,
Barrister HAMED IBRAHIM.
