FRANK BOBBY& ASSOCIATES 44,

Dear sir/madam,
I am Barrister Frank Bobby, a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to
Mr.Steve, who used to work with Chevron Oil Development Company in Nigeria.
On the 21st of April, 2002, his wife and their three children were involved
in a car accident along Abuja 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
client 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 to no avail, hence, I contacted you to
assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client in a Security
Company.
Particularly, the Security Company where the deceased deposited the US$15
Million (Fifteen Million United States Dollars only). Consequently, this
Security Company issued me a notice to provide the Next of Kin to claim the
US$15 Million (Fifteen Million United States Dollars only) in their custody
within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
to claim the fund as the Next of Kin to him so that the fund will be
transferred to your account by the Security Company.
Upon receipt of the fund, I will come over to your country to meet with you
for the disbursement of the fund and then you and I will share the money in
this order: 55% will be for me, 40% will be for you, while 5% will be used
on expenses incurred. I have all the necessary legal documents that can back
our claim we may make with the Security Company. All I require is your
honest co-operation 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 secured and confidential email address at barrmike_obi2@yahoo.co.uk.in to
enable me clarify you further.
Best regards,
Barrister Frank.
