Scammers like to use the names of officials or titels. Barrister is a favorite.

RE: I APPRECIATE,
Dear Friend,

I am sending this email to you personally as a result of the very urgent mandate I have again received from the Bank and my sincere belief that you can handle this with me.

My name is Barrister Jim K. Okwudili, I was a personal attorney to late Engr Harrison Frederick, a crude oil merchant with Shell Petroleum Development Company here in Nigeria.

Unfortunately, in June 2004, my client and his entire household were involved in a ghastly motor accident along Abuja Express Road which led to the loss of their lives before getting to the nearest hospital.

Since then, I have made several attempts both through the internet and their High Commission to locate his relatives but all to no avail. I was later made to understand by his former office that my late client had a fixed deposit account with a valued amount of US$7.5M with a reputable bank here in Nigeria which has since matured.

Accordingly, upon maturity of the deposit, a routine notification was sent to his contract employers (Shell Petroleum Development Company) by the bank and as his only known attorney, I was directed by Shell Petroleum Dev. Co. to comply with the bank's directive asking me to come up with the particulars of the next of kin of my late client to receive his money.

Since all efforts to reach any of his relatives had so far failed, I decided to seek your consent as a foreigner to have the money released to you as his next of kin to avoid the money from being confiscated by the government.

This is a deal I would like to handle with you for our mutual benefits. I already have everything worked out with my team of lawyers to ensure success.

I shall very humbly attach for your perusal, better understanding and trust, the statement of account as obtained from the bank and my personal Identification (Passport) as soon as I hear from you. Contact me for further details as quickly as possible if you are interested in dealing with me in this glorious venture.

Regards,
Barr. Jim K. Okwudili
