""" BARRISTER CHARLES KING
CHARLES KING’S CHAMBERS.
PLOT 1914 IJU, VICTORIA ISLAND LAGOS.

Dear Badillo,
I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a surprising manner. I am
Barrister Charles King, a legal practitioner, I am the personal attorney to Mr.
Scott Badillo, a national of your country, who used to work with Julius Berger
construction company, here in Nigeria. On the 27th of January 2003, my client, his
wife and their three children were involved in Ikeja bomb blast here in my
country.

My client and his family unfortunately lost there lives. 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 and did some research on the internet, to locate any member of his family.
Hence I contacted you.

I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the funds left behind by my late
client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the African Development Bank Group,
Lagos Branch where my client deposited US 7.5 million dollars.

The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the Account
confiscated within the next Fourteen official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over some years now I
seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased, so that the
proceeds of this account valued at US 7.5 million dollars can be transferred to your
account there in your country, then you and i can share the money. I have all
necessary legal documents that back up the claim we may make. All I require is your
honest co- operation 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. Please indicate your readiness to assist me,
so that all the information about this funds will be passed to you immediately. You
should send to me your full names and your private telephone numbers for easy
communications. And also assure me of your trust and remember that the trust in
business is confidentiality.

I WILL WANT EVERY ONE TO KNOW THAT THE WHOLE THING, some are LEGIT because i got an inherance as a next of kin from NIGERIA before i was doubting that the whole thing is a fake but now i can realyrealy beleive IT.
