Subject: URGENT GREETING
FROM THE DESK OF,
BARRISTER CHRIS BUA.
P&P CHAMBERS AND ASSOCIATE
(LEGAL PRACTITIONERS)
IKEJA, LAGOS NIGERIA.
Attention,
I crave your indulgence for the unsolicited nature of this letter, but it
was borne out of desperation and current development. Please bear with me. I
am BARRISTER CHRIS BUA., a solicitor at law. I was the Personal attorney to
Mr. Louis Harry, a national of your country, who used own an oil servicing
company in Nigeria. Herein after shall be referred to as my client. On the
21st of April, 2001, my client, his wife and their three Children were
involved in a car accident along Sagamu express road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. I know that my
client had no living kin but I went ahead and made several inquiries to your
embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but this has proved
unsuccessful. I only did so to be double sure of this fact.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to search for a capable
person whon i can use to transfer this fund. I have contacted you to assist
in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they
get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge
deposits were lodged, particularly the Union Bank Plc where the deceased had
an account valued at about $30 million dollars. This account will be
confiscated after five years if not claimed and we have just about some
month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4 years
now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you $30 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can
share the money. 60% shall be for me and 35% for you while 5% is earmarked
for expenses that will be incurred during the process of Transfer of the
fund. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make.
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. Please get in
touch with me by my EMAIL:[barristerchrisbua@excite.com ]to enable us
discuss further. You may also send your phone number so that I can call you.
I look forward to your urgent response.
Best regards,
BARRISTER CHRIS BUA.
Solicitor and Advocate.
