Dear Brethen,
I humbly crave your indulgence in sending you this mail, and I want you to
Study it with all seriousness of purpose.
First let me introduce my self to you before any further discussion, I am
Fifty-One (51) year old established Lawyer. My name is Frank Attah from
(FRANK ATTAH CHAMBERS) and member of Nigeria Bar Association and the
attorney at law to Engineer David his untimely death in May 2002 with his
entire ho use hold were involved in a Plane Crash at Kano State, enroute
Abuja (The Capital City) all occupants in the Plane lost their lives,
nfortunately on this same flight were other dignitaries like the Sports
Minister and a host of others.

Note that my late client left one person behind as his next of kin/sole
beneficiary till he died which is the Son not until the whole family were
involved in a plane crash they all lost their lives including the Son you
can see that there is no one for it. I Have made several enquiries to your
embassy Here to locate any of my late Clients extended relatives acting on
the directive of the STANDARD TRUST BANK PLC, issued to me on the 18th of
December 2002, where my late client left behind a deposit of US$7.4 million
American Dollars to come forward as his next of kin and lay claim to the
funds he left behind so that the Bank can renormalize the account and remit
the
funds to the person. After several unsuccessful attempts at locating his
relatives, I have contacted you to come forward and claim the money for you
and me from the Bank, before it gets declared unserviceable and confiscated
by the Bank.
The said Bank has issued me another notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account confiscated within the next fourteen banking days (14
days), so we have to act fast. Be informed that you have nothing to worry
about with regards this fact, you see the inheritance law clearly
leaves any proof of who is or is not the next of kin, to the deceased's
lawyer to prove, as the
lawyer of the deceased the law states that I have the final say on who is
and is not the beneficiary of the deceased's estate and properties,All I
require from you is your honest
cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement.
I await your urgent response to enable us start this transaction in earnest
so we can proceed and also discuss the sharing ratio for the money between
us and the procedures to make the claim. Be informed also that this account
has been declared dormant by the said Bank from my Investigations and as
such you would have to apply to the bank as the sole beneficiary to the
funds for the claim of the money, after which the Bank would direct you on
how to re-activate the account back
to normal and then you would instruct the Bank on how you want your funds
transferred to you. Upon your response I will furnish you with the text of
application letter you would send to the
Bank and the necessary information have to back up the claim application.
Your nationality does not matter as all modalities have been set to pay
whomever I present as the next of kin it will take us 14 days to conclude as
soon as you indicate your interest.I shall role out the modalities for the
actualization of this project as soon as I receive your email
response. Please, do accord this transaction the confidentiality it
deserves.
I look forward to your mutually beneficial partnership.
Due regards to your family.
With God all things are possible.
Hope to hear from you as you receive this mail.
I hope this mail will be given the desire consideration.
Best of regards,
Barrister Frank Attah. (LL.M, PH.D)
