FROM:Barrister James Williams(ESQ) & Associates,# 30 MICHEAL STREET,IBADAN,NIGERIA. Hi I am Barrister James Williams, the Personal Attorney to Mr. James Guillaume, A foreigner who used to work with Mekon Associates Company in Nigeria for 15 years and he was retired on the 30th day of March 2002.

Since then, I have made several enquires to your embassy to locate any of myclient extended relatives for over 4years now, but all my efforts proved unsuccessful and to no avail. After these unsuccessful attempts failed, I decided to track his last name in the Internet to locate any member of his family or his nationality that also proved abortive. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating his relatives for over 4years now hence I contacted you .I seek your consent to present you to the finance house as the next of kin of the deceased. I have some of the legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. To indicate your willingness to be part of this transaction, I advise you to forward the following information of yours, to enable me present you to the finance house as the true next 0f kin to my late client. {1}. YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS{2}. YOUR FULL NAME{3}. YOUR AGE AND YOUR OCCUPATION.{4}. YOUR IDENTIFICATION.{5}. YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE NUMBER.( 6).YOUR PRIVATE E-MAIL ADDRESS. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by my secured andConfidential e-mail address at:(Barrister_Jameswilliams000@yahoo.co.uk) to enable us discuss further. Thanks and God bless.
