From The Desk Of Barrister Hakeem

From: ben carson - barristerbencarson@yahoo.com.ph

Hello Friend,
I sincerely apologize for intruding into your privacy, especially by contacting you through
this means for a business transaction of this magnitude, but due to its seriousness and
urgency it therefore became necessary for me to seek for your assistance.
I am Barrister Hakeem, counsel to late Mr. Dale, a national of your country and was a
seasoned contractor with oil services companies, here in Lagos, Nigeria. He lost his life on
the 15th December, 2002 in a ghastly motor accident together with his wife and children
along the Lekki Peninsula - Epe expressway here in Nigeria. Before his sudden and mysterious
death, he deposited a sum worth $25.5 Million US dollars with a Intercontinental Bank Plc in
a fixed account here in Lagos, Nigeria which I was quite aware of as all the legal
proceedings was duly carried out by my humble self. After his death, almost three years ago,
I made several approaches to your embassy to locate any of his relatives so as to come and
stand as the next of kin to my late client in order to have this huge sum transferred in his
or her possession but all my effort proved abortive.
After several unsuccessful attempts in locating any of his relations and the latest
ultimatum given to me by the Intercontinental Bank Plc, mandating me to provide my late
client's next of kin within the next two weeks OR they confisticate the money, which I
wouldn't live to see it happen, hence my decision to contact you so that I can present you
as the next of kin to my late client. All I demand from you is your honest co-operation so
that this fund {$25.5 million US dollars} can be transferred into any account of your choice
within the shortest time possible.
For your assistance and co-operation, I have decided to have the money shared as follows;
40% for you, 60% for me.
What I introduced to you might be a smack of an unethical practice but this is a once in a
lifetime opportunity that is capable of making things better for us and moreover, if I fail
to present my late client's next of kin in couple of weeks, the truth is that this money
would not be taken by the government but by some greedy officials of the Intercontinental
Bank Plc and I would not fold my arms and watch this happen hence my decision to contact
you.
I also want to use to this medium to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and
my position as the counsel to the late depositor of the fund, it has been legally planned to
avoid any hitch or breach of law both during and after the transfer might have been effected
to you. And also, every information that will back you up as the next of kin to my late
client shall be given to you as soon as I have your consent.
The following information will be required from you in your reply;
1.} Your full name.
2.} Your residential/contact address.
3.} Your phone/fax number.
4.} Your Occupation.
5.} Your Age.
For purpose of security and the confidentiality of this transaction you can reply this mail
to this my private e-mail address: Barriaterhakeemotokiti@o2.pl
I look forward to receive your positive response soonest.
Regards,
Barr. Hakeem (Esq
