OWODE CHAMBERS PLOT 36 IBIDUN LANE LAGOS ISLAND LAGOS NIGERIA
ATTENTION: MY NAME WAS HERE
I am Barrister STEVEN OWODE(Esq). a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to Mr. ADAMS (MY LAST NAME WAS HERE) a national of your country, who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria(SPDC). On the 21st of April 1999, 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 your Embassy 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 before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about US$9million U.S dollars(Nine million 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 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 from the same country so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$9million U.S dollars can be paid to you 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.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. 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 the law.
Please get in touch with me by my email to enable us discuss further.
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister STEVEN OWODE(Esq). N.B. Please indicate your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication in this mutual transaction

I've heard of these types of emails before. Something about they need your bank account info so they can deposit the money quickly...then they wipe you out! Just a scam!

Hey! This old SCAM RIPOFF has been circulating for several years now. I found out the whole story about it on www.urbanlegends.com - it covers every single GRQ scam there is, as well as who shot who, etc. Interesting reading. Just my $.02 Harold PS - I got some SWAMPLAND for sale in Florida at a wonderful price... heheheeee <small>[ June 05, 2003, 05:15 AM: Message edited by: TheNoteBookDude ]</small>
