A gentleman claiming to be a Barrister wrote to me today.

He claims to be working for his late employer, seeking to find his employer's relatives in order to settle an estate of $9M.

Now here's a funny thing, he can't find any relatives!

Consequently he would like me to pretend to be next of kin, in order that I may claim the estate. In other words, he wants me to commit fraud.

Read it again, if you don't quite grasp it, a man claiming to be a barrister is asking a complete stranger to commit a fraud.

How likely is that?

This scum bag then goes on to suggest, with a straight face, that the transaction is legal.

It is fraud, it is a criminal offence; it is NOT LEGAL!!!

Finally, as if he hasn't even read what he has written, he notes that he wants an honest person to do business with. Yet he is asking me to pose as next of kin, I would therefore have to commit fraud; ipso facto I would be dishonest.

Dear Friend,

I am Barrister Alex David (Esq) a solicitor. I was the Personal
Attorney to late Henry Williams an oil merchant/contractor with
CHEVRON PETROLEUM COMPANY here in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 1999,
my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a
automobile accident and unfortunately they lost their lives.

Before my Client died, He had a huge fund deposit valued at
US$9,000,000,00 Dollars in a Citi Trust Bank Ltd. here in Nigeria. As
his personal Attorney, I am in possesion of all legal documents which
shows the entire transaction between him and this Bank in relation to
this fund deposit. Consequently, the Bank mandated me to look out for
any of his extended family relatives to stand in as the next of
kin/beneficiary of this fund deposit.

Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any
of my clients extended family relatives, but to no avail. After many
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the
Internet, but this attempt was equally unsuccessful. Unfortunately,
today 23rd day of June, 2004, the Citi Trust Bank Ltd. gave me an
ultimatum of Ten working days to provide the next of Kin or have this
fund confiscated. This is why I have contacted you to render assistance
in repartrating the money and properties left behind by my client, before
they will be confiscated or declared unserviceable by this bank.

Since I have been unsuccesful in locating the relatives for over two
years, and coincidentally you are from the same country, I seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin/beneficiary of late Henry
Williams fund deposit with this Bank for our mutual benefit. For your
assistance, you will be adequately compensated with 40% of the total
sum. 55% will be for me, and 5% will be set aside to offset all
incidential expences that might be incured in the cause of this
transaction. e.g phone call, payment of tax if so required by your
government etc. This transaction is 100% risk free as I have all
necessary legal documents to back up all our claims. I guarantee you
that the entire transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law,as all
documents/affidavit that will be required by Citi Trust Bank Ltd.
before the release of the fund will be procurred legally from the
federal high court of justice.

All I require from you is honesty and cooperation. Please realise that
the confidentiality of this arrangement must be maintained from now,
and even after the successful complition of this transaction,to enable
us see this deal through. If you will assist me, Please call me on my
personal phone or contact me via my private office box
for details.

Thanks and God bless.

Best regards,

Barrister Alex David.

N.B. Please indicate your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication

CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE

Dear,

I am DAVID BELLO the only son of late former
Director of finance,Chief WILLIAMS BELLO Sierra-Leone
diamond and mining corporation.

I must confess my agitation is real, and my words is
my bond, in this proposal. My late father diverted
this money meant for purchase of ammunition, for my
country, during the peak of disastrous civil war in my
country, now he has deposited the money with BANK , where

I am residing under political asylum with my younger sister.
Now the war in my country is over with the help of
ECOMOG soldiers, the present government of Sierra
Leone has revoked the passport of all officers who
served under the former regime and now ask countries
to expel such person at the same time freeze their
account and confiscate their asset, it is on this note
that I am contacting you, all I needed from you is to
furnish me with your bank particulars:
1) Account name
2) Account number
3) Bank address, telephone and fax number
4) Your full name and your private telephone/fax
For you to assist me transfer this money in your
private bank account, the said amount is (Fifteen
Million Dollars) $15 Million.I am compensating you
with 15 % of the total money amount, now all my hope
is banked on you and I really wants to invest this
money in your country, were their is stability of
Government, political and economic welfare.

Honestly I want you to believe that this transaction
is real and never a joke. My late father Cheif WILLIAMS
gave me the original copies of the
certificate of deposit issued to him by BANK on the
date of deposit, for you to be clarify because, I
do not expose my self to anybody I see, I believe that
you are able to keep this transaction secret for me
because this money is the hope of my life, it is
important.

That is the reason why I offered you 15 % of the total
money amount, and in case of any other necessary
expenses you might incur during this transaction.
Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip
investment opportunities which is risky free which I
can invest with this money when it is transferred to
your account, personally I am interested in estate
management and hotel business, please advise me.
And promisse me and my younger sister that you will not betray us.

Thanks and God bless

Best regards

DAVID AND DORCAS Bello

NB: my late father used me the only son as next of kin
on the day of deposit and also told me I need a
foreign assistance of a foreigner with a legitimate
bank Account abroad who will stand as co-beneficiary
and partner abroad.
