Subject: TREAT VERY URGENTLY
From The Chambers Of
Barristers and Solicitors
No.10 West Land Avenue,Abuja.
Dear Good Friend,
I am sure you will be surprised at this letter that I am sending to you as we have never met
before. But let me introduce myself to you. I am Barrister Raymond Greenfield,an attorney
at law.
A deceased client of mine, Mr Ronald Lake,hereinafter,referred to as my client,made a fixed
deposit valued US$10.5M,(Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) on march 1998 for 36
months maturity, with an intent of putting up a gold mining company here in Nigeria and
upon the maturity this finance security company started contacting him but to no avail.
On 31 January, 2000, my client along with his wife died in a plane crash of
Alaska Airlines Flight number 261. You shall read more about the crash on visiting this
site http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ It is therefore upon this
discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you,as I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over seven (7)years now,I seek your consent to present
you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account now valued
US$15.1 million, can be paid to you. You have to follow the instruction which I will send to
you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after
twelve(12) years,the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.The request of a foreigner as next of kin of in this transaction is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and being his lawyer,I cannot stand as the next of kin.
In appreciation of your assistance, I am offering you 40% of the total sum. 10% goes to any
charity home,while the remaining 50% is for me. This transaction, will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. If
this business offends your moral values,do accept my apology. However,you should
contact me at once to indicate your interest through this e-mail address: barristerraymondgreenfield@yahoo.com
with the following information:
1.Contact Address
2.Telehone number
3.Your full name.
I look forward to your response.
Best Regards,
Barrister Raymond Greenfield(SAN).
