nigerian email

a common email scam in which it is claimed that a wealthy foreigner needs your help moving millions of dollars from his homeland to yours and will reward you with a hefty percentage of this fortune if you agree to -ssist him.
dear sir,

i am barrister philip adama, a solicitor at law. i am
the personal attorney to mr. ralf rutherford, who used
to work with sh-ll development company in nigeria.

on the 21st of april 2000, my client, his wife and
their only daughter were involved in a car accident
along sagbama express road. all occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. since then i
have made several enquiries to your emb-ssy here
to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this
has also proved unsuccessful.

after these several unsuccessful attempts, i decided
to look for any body who will be willing to -ssist me
in recovering the fund valued at us$10.5 million left
behind by my client before it gets confisicated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge
amount were deposited.

the said bank has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have the account confisicated within
the next twenty one official working days.since i have

been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over
2 years now, i seek your consent to present you as the

next of kin to the deceased hence i have all the
legal doc-ment to back you up for the claim, so that
the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.

therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we
shall then discuss on how we can sharing the funds
when it get into your account. i have all necessary
information and legal doc-ments needed to back you up
for claim. all i require from you is your honest
cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.

i guarantee that this will be executed under
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.

if you are very much ready to proceed with me, then
contact me 0n this e-mail

best regards

barrister philip adama
