Subject: FROM PAUL DAVIDSON
*Barrister Paul Davidson
Justice chambers
#22 Fox cresent
Lagos-Nigeria
Dear friend,
Please permit me to introduce myself. I am Barrister Paul Davidson the
personal attorney to Mr.Pitt Rucker a citizen of the united state of America
(USA).
In December 2001,My client Mr.Pitt Rucker, died in Lagos,Nigeria.Before his
death he was an influential fishing Magnate who also owned a Football Club
called Hapoel Haifa. His company has savings accounts with the fidelity bank
Nigeria plc.At the time of his death, he had US$16.4 Million in a fixed
deposit account. When I was notified of his death, I made several efforts to
contact his immediate next of kin through his embassy in Victoria Island,
Lagos-Nigeria but his embassy later wrote back to me after some time
informing me that all attempts on their part to contact any of his relatives
was not successful. At this point I contacted the Government of Nigeria
through my Ministry informing them about this problem. The Government in
response wrote back to me informing me that they have directed the Fidelity
bank Nigeria plc to put my client's funds in a suspense account pending when
any of his relatives show up to claim the money .I have confirmed this from
the bank officials.However,i received instructions from the Nigerian
Government to produce the next of kin of my late client or the money will be
diverted into the Federation's account.
It was as a result of these directives from my Government that made me
contact you through this medium for assistance to receive this money as the
next of kin to my late client. What I want you to do is to present you or
your company as the next of kin to my late client Mr. Pitt Rucker in which
will entitle you to receive this money on his behalf for me after we might
have done the processes involved with the bank. It will not be difficult to
establish the relationship between you and my late client as i have enough
experience in this my profession.As soon as you confirm your willingness to
assist me in this transaction, you shall be provided with all information
relating to my late client as contained in my file. You do not have to worry
about this proposal, as I am 100% behind this proposal.Should you be willing
to assist in this matter, kindly get back to me stating your telephone
numbers along with any question you may need to ask about this transaction?
You should not forget to forward your full name togehter with your direct
telephone number.
I want to assure you of a hitch free transaction, as your involvement will
not expose you to any risks now or after the successful completion of the
transaction.
I thank you once more while I look forward to your urgent response to this
letter. *
*Best Regards,
Barrister Paul Davidson*
