Subject: Dear Lange,Your co-operation needed
>From the desk of:
Peter Udo Chambers (Solicitor & Advocate)
Suite 8 Falomo Shopping complex, Lagos.
Dear Lange,
I am Barrister Peter Udo,(SAN)a solicitor at law.I am the personal attorney
to late Engr.David Lange,a foreigner,who was a contractor with shell
development company in Nigeria.Here in after shall be referred to as my
client.On the 21st of November 2002,my client,his wife and their only
daughter were involved in a car accident along sagamu express road,lagos.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.My client
deposited as family belongings in a CONSIGNMENT the sum of $10.5Million US
dollars in a security and finance company here in Nigeria.
And since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any
of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.After
these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to trace his last name over
the Internet,to locate any member of his family hence contacted you. I have
contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind
by my client before they get confisicated or declared unknown by the
security company where this huge deposits were lodged.
The security and Finance Company where the deceased had deposited this
consignment has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
consignment confisicated within the next thirty official working days. Since
I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 3 years now I
seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since
you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this deposit valued at
$10.5Million US dollars(Ten million five hundred thousand united state
dollars) can be handed over to you and then you and I can share the money.
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 and send to me your telephone number to enable us
discuss further about this transaction.
Best Regards,
Barrister Peter Udo
