Dear friend, I am a renowned /reputed practicing lawyer and you can attest that even if I am not or may not be a millionaire in the present circumstance,that I am neither a pauper nor in want.That I am proposing this transaction with all sincerity of purpose is a way of improving our various lives.I am not a Nigerian and this proposal has no liking as such.I therefore politely but seriously request that you do not treat this as one of these junks you may have read/heard about.Rather,give me a chance to prove my geniuness/intention before throwing this into the dustbin. I am the principal partner of a law firm/chamber with some junior lawyers and we render services to both coperate organisations and individuals.Sametime,we are registered with the government for retainership.That I am sending you this mail today in a private capacity dose not make it unofficial/unbusinesslike but I would like you in our best interest to treat with absolute privacy and urgency it deserves.I must mention to you that I have not disclosed this idea to anyone else and I did not get your name from any one .I only browsed the internet and got your address and I wasted no time to contact you after I had felt satisfied within me that you could be of help. Some years back(precisely 1995),one MR.ASGEIR ARMGRIMMSON who introduced himself as the President/CEO of NORFISH LTD,ICELAND situate at(as at then)620 Dalvik and resident at Brekkusidu 18,603 Akureyri (all in Iceland).He engaged/retained my services as his lawyer/consultant to help him process documents and pursue the release of a debt of USD18.7M being proceeds of a contract he executed.He told me then that he was in a legal suit with the wife and would not want anybody know of the fund until the case was over hence he deposited the money here.When I never heard from him some years after he travelled back,I called his office and was told the man is DEAD. Since this sum is still intact here and I am privy to details except that I am not a signatory(which is the reason I need you),I solicit your partnership so we jointly pursue and finance the release/collection of this money. All it requires is a fresh documentation in new name now as the next-of-kin to the deceased and beneficiary to the sum(which is now you) and your account details be normalized. For your information, proceeds from the transaction when we collect will be shared at equall percentage(50/50)between us. If you are ready to partner with me,kindly copy your reply to my alternate email account thus: je202ma / yahoo.co.uk BARRISTER MARTINS
