Dear Visscher,
This letter is not intended to cause any embarrassment in whatever
form,rather it is intended to contact your esteemed self, following the
knowledge of your high repute and trust worthiness. Firstly,I must solicit
your confidentiality. I knowthat a proposal of this magnitude will make
anyone apprehensive and worried,but I am assuring you that it is made in
good faith and will be of mutual benefit.
I am Barr.Abba Naabba, Esq, the personal attorney to Mr. William
Visscher,herein after referred to as my client, a national of America, who
used to work with National Oil Plc.My client and his entire family were
involved in a plane crash,Over 76 passengers died in the incidence,
unfortunately my friend and his family lost their lives.
For more details and pictures of the plain crash Please Click and view the
Link below to see Clip of the Incident.

I have since made several enquiries to your Embassy, in a bid to locate any
relation of my client, and these efforts of mine have not been productive. I
then decided to trace his last name over the internet, and came across your
name which is why I have contacted you to assist me in securing the money
and property left behind by my client before they are declared as unclaimed
and unserviceable by the bank where they have been lodged for safekeeping.
I am particularly interested in securing the funds lodged with a Finance
Firm,The sum of USD8.5M Dollars.This is because the said Bank has issued a
notice to me, unequivocally instructing me to produce the Next of Kin /
Beneficiary to the said account within the next ten official working days,
or have the account confiscated. Considering my lack of success in my bid to
locate his relatives for over two years,I solicit your consent to enable me
produce you as the Next of Kin to my deceased client, since you both bear
the same last name.
The funds will then be transferred to you as the beneficiary and shared
according to a proposed sharing pattern /ratio of 60:40 i.e. 60% for me and
40% for you. I will provide the necessary, legally obtained documents to
back up any claim we make regarding this process, and will just require your
understanding/ cooperation to enable us achieve success within a legitimate
arrangement, eliminating any liability resulting from any breach of the
prevalent laws.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated. My direct contacts have
been provided above, use same accordingly for effective communication,then
kindly respond immediately through my private e-mail:abbanaabba_8@yahoo.com
Thank you.
Best regards,
Barr.Abba Naabba(Esq).
