Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU?
TEMPLE CHAMBERS $ ASSOCIATES (LEGAL PRACTITIONAL) No: 85, Western
Avenue, Surulere, Lagos. Dear Friend, It is obvious that this proposal
will come to you as a surprise; this is because we have not met before
but I am inspired to sending you this email following the huge fund
transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to both of us.
However, I am Barrister Steve Adams, the Attorney to the late ENGR.
ALBERT ROBERT a national of Northern American who worked with Shell
Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 11th of
November 2015 my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express
Road,unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the
accident, since then I have enquired from several Embassies to locate
any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his
family but of no avail, hence this proposal email to you for
assistance. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money
and property left behind by my client; As the attorney to the
deceased, I can easily convince the bank that you are the only
surviving relation of my client otherwise the Estate he left behind
will be confiscated or declared not serviceable by the bank
particularly the account where the deceased had an amount valued at
about $25 million U.S dollars (Twenty Five million U.S. America
dollars). Consequently, the bank has issued me a notice to provide the
NEXT OF KIN to my Late Client or they will have the account
confiscated within the next ten official working days. Since I have
been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over several years
now, I seek your CONSENT to present you as the NEXT OF KIN to the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at $25million U.S
dollars can be paid to your account and then you and I will share the
money, 50% to me and 50% to you. All I require to proceed in this
inheritance transfer is your Honest Cooperation to enable us see this
deal through and also providing the following information to me: 1,
Your Full Name:……. 2, Your House Address:……………… 3,
Your Country:…………………….. 4, Your Contact Telephone /Fax
Number: …… 5, Your Age and Gender:………………….. 6, Your
Occupation: …………………………… I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of the law. Waiting to hear from you now. Yours
Faithfully, BARRISTER Steve Adams.
