Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Bashiru Davies, a solicitor at law. I
am the personal attorney to Engr.Thomas F.Chambliss

Before his death On the 21st of April 2002 [my

all occupants of the motor died}. My client
Engr.Thomas F.Chambliss deposited as family
belongings in a CONSIGNMENT the sum of $15.5 million
in a Standard Finance & Securities Company here in
Nigeria for himself, with the hope of transferring it
to his country as soon as he is on official leave.
Since his death I have made several enquiries to his
country's embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating this
money left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the security
company where these Consignment (Money) was Deposited.
Particularly, the Standard Finance & Securities
Company where the deceased Deposited the Consignment
valued it at about $15.5 million dollars has issued me
a notice to provide the next of kin. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3
years now. I seek your consent to present you as the

expenses that may be incured during this transaction,
and the remaining 25% to you.
Note that all the necessary legal documents that is
required to back up the claim are in my possession,
and I will make them available to you once you agree
