Compliment,
Miss Young
I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise, please accept the content in good faith. I do not intend to cause any grief to you and your family. The reason for sending this mail is very fundamental to the doctrine of human privileges and right. My name is Barrister. david patrick a legal practitioner and the personal Attorney to late Mr. Richard Young , a national of your country who died along with his wife and Two sons in a ghastly motor accident along Sagamu express road Ibadan, over 3 years now (August 13, 2000).

All the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives. I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate you. My client was a successful and is an accomplished family man, who made enough fortune before his untimely death. Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate any member of his family, not much progress was recorded. My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an oil magnet here in Nigeria and he left behind a deposit of twenty Million United States Dollars only ($20,000,000.00usd) in his domiciliary bank account in a commercial bank here in Lagos.

After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his funds. The board of directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property. The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me. Fortunately, I came across your name, to my greatest astonishment, I discovered that you bear the same surname with my late client and coincidentally, you are nationals of the same country. Being convinced that you may be related with my late client or that you might provide clue to my search, I therefore, decided to contact with these facts before me, because of the similarities. By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am very much aware of my client financial standing and the bank account he operates. I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be paid the funds left in his bank account. I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an advantage, bearing the same surname and equally from the same country, that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at $20 Million Dollars can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds. 45% for me and 35% to you, while 5% should be for Expenses or your Government may require Tax as.

I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim. All I require is your honest cooperation 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 law. Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further. For privacy and confidentiality reply using my email boxes. barrpatdavid@yahoo.com

Best Regards .
Barrister patrick david

I didn't know that I had an uncle in Nigeria, but who can say no to inherit 35% of $20m? BTW. What happened to the last 15%? (45+35+5=85)

Some of the certificate they are requiring from you is for them to know if you are the true next of kin, they don't want to make a mistake by transferring the fund into a wrong account.

Basically, the only document we are to procure now is ANTI TERRORIST CERTIFICATE from the World Anti Terrorist Organization; which I have sent an application to them forth night ago; I'm still waiting for their reply. That is the reason why I'm asking you to call me so that we can talk, I have tried your number so many time but you always switched it to answering machine. Please we need to talk. Is there any number I can contact you? Please do forward the number to me, or you can as well give me a call on this number > 234-1-775-7163.
I will be looking forward to hear from you soon, bye.

Which the total amount on his account is $19,545m ( Ninteen Million Five Hundred and Forthy Five Thousand United States Dollars only.) I'm very sorry any inconvinience this may have caused you. I will be looking forward to hear from you soon, bye.

Dear Miss Young

How are you today? I got your mail. Please, the problem we are facing now is how to pay and obtain the World Anti Terrorist Certificate. And they ask us to pay $3,650. What can we do, Christmas is fast approaching, and I want this transaction to end this month. Please do get back to me as soon as possible; I will be looking forward to hear from you soon, bye.

Barr. Patrick David.

Dear Patrick,

I see no problem.

If you read the letter from WATO, they advise YOU to pay the $3650. It also seem fair to me since I only get 35 % of my legal inheritance, and you the rest.

Have a nice day, ...
