Subject: GOOD DAY
ADAMS, COPPER& GABBA CHAMBER TINUBU SQUARE LAGOS, NIGERIA
Date:7th August,2005.
Dear Friend,
My name is Barrister John Gabba a legal practitioner and the personal
attorney to late Mr. Richard Waters who died with his wife and two sons
in a
plane crash on the 4th of May, 2002. All the occupants in the vehicle
lost
their lives.
My client was a successful and an accomplished family man, who made
enough fortune before his untimely death.
After the death of my client his bank contacted me, as his Attorney to
provide his next-of-kin who should inherit his funds.
The board of directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was
mandated
to provide his next-of-kin for the payment of this money within 28
working
days or forfeit the money to the federal government treasury account as
an
abandoned property.
After making several unsuccessful attempts to locate his relatives, I
decided to trace his relatives through the Internet inorder to locate
any
member of his family yet nothing came out of it.
The bank had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to
confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me.
My late client was a successful businessman, an oil magnet here in
Nigeria
and he left behind a deposit of($13,722,000.00USD) in his domiciliary
bank
account in a commercial bank here in Lagos.
I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally
proper to
present you as the next-of-kin of my deceased client, so that you can
be
paid the funds left in his bank account.PLEASE SEE THE WEBSITE BELOW
FOR
CONFIRMATION:

The procedure for approval is simple.Once you indicate your interest,
an
affidavit of claim will be made and a letter of admnistration will be
obtained from the probate Registry which will authorise the release of
the
funds to you.An application letter will also be sent to the bank
informing
them of our intention to claim the funds
This documents and some others will be notarised and forwarded to the
legal
department of the Bank for vetting and approval.
As you can see everything will follow a normal legal process,thereby
assuring you that you are not exposing yourself to any legal problem.
I
will back up all necessary documents that will be required
at the court.
You dont have to worry about any risk. All I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this
will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any
breach of the law.All that is required from you is as follows:

document here.
2. Private telephone number
3. Private fax number
4. Also inform me on how you want the funds to be paid to you.As you
can see
time is of great essence as the bank has given me deadline.
We shall both share the funds this way; 55% for me while 40% will go
for
your contribution. 5% should be for expenses cured during the process
of
transfer.
Contact me as soon as possible so that I will intimate you with the
details.But if you are not interested,indicate by sending an email so
that I
can look for someone who will be interested.I await your anticipated
