LARRY IFEM CHAMBERS,
LEGAL PRACTITIONER AND PUBLIC NOTARY &
HIGH COURT REPRESENTATIVE
SUITE 101 ALLEN ROAD, APAPA
LAGOS - NIGERIA.
ATTN Sir/Madam,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise.This is
because we have not met before but I am inspired to sending you this
email by the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual
benefit to the two of us.
However, I am barrister Larry Ifem, Attorney to the late Engr.Steve
Moore a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with Shell
Petroleum Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 11th of
November,1997.My client,his wife And their three children were involved
in a car
accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident,
Since then I have made several enquiries to several Embassies to locate
any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his
relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but of no
avail, hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left
behind by my client,I can easily convince the bank with my legal
practice that you are the only surviving relation of my client.
Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were
lodgedParticularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at
about $27
million U.S dollars(twenty seven million U.S.America
dollars).Conseqently,The bank issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the
account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over
several years now.I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
to
the deceased,so that the proceeds of this account valued at $27million
U.S dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can share
the money. 55% to me and 40% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or
tax as your government may require.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
through and forward the following to me
1,Your Name
2,House Address
3,Your Phone/Fax Number
4,Your Age and Gender
5,Your occupation
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 my private email address larryifem@sify.com to enable us discuss further.
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Larry Ifem(Esq.)
