Barr. Mr. John Lee

Dear Isabelle ,
I am Barrister John Lee an advocate and Solicitor.I am the Personal Attorney
to Mr. Fredrick Isabelle ,a foreigner who used to work with European
Development Company in Nigeria. On The 21st of April 2002, my client, his
wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagbama
Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to see if I can
locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has all the while proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace
his relatives (i.e. Same surname) over the Internet, to locate any member
of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you
to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before it is
confiscated by the Finance Firm where this money was deposited.
Particularly, the Finance firm where the deceased had the money deposited
$7.3m (SEVEN MILLION,THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS USD) has
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to the deceased or have the
money confiscated within the next ten official working days. Since I have
been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are
still a foreigner, so that the proceeds of claim of this deposit valued at
$7.3m (SEVEN MILLION,THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ) would be
release to you and then you and I can share the money, 60% to me and 35% to
you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
I have all necessary legal information that can be used to back up any claim
we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing 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 email or call my tel numbers stated above to enable us
discuss further.
Best regards,
Mr. John Lee ( Esq)
