Ok so is this how widows get taken advantage of?
and how did they get my name to do this>?
this is a scam I am sure! I guess this is another thing to turn over to customs before someone does fall for it.Also the FBI
I would like to reply to it..maybe I can work with customs and answer it and see what they do with this person..it is fraud isn't it.
I hope it is..lol but I don't need that much money. I could share with my friends here at mb though..lol..

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.
