KEVIN NWORAH From: nworah orah Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2004 23:05:28 Subject: Michael Dell Compliment, I was privileged to capture your names from the Internet. My name is Barr.kevin Nworah, a legal practitioner and the personal Attorney to late Mr.Adams, a national of your country who died along with his wife and his Two sons in a ghastly motor accident along Sagamu express road Ibadan, over 4 years now (August 13, 1999).All the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives. I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate you. my client was a successful and am accomplished family man, who made enough fortune before his untimely death.Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate any member of his family not much progress was recorded My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an oil magnet here in Nigeria and he left behind a deposit of Forty two Million, Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only ($42,200,000.00usd) in his domiciliary bank account in a commercial bank here in Lagos. After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune. The board of directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property. The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me. Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across your name, to my utmost amazement, I discovered that you bear the same surname with my late client and coincidentally, you are nationals of the same country. Convinced that you may be linked with my late client or that you might provide clue to my search, I therefore, decided to contact with these facts before me because of the similarities. By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am very much aware of my client financial standing and the bank account he operates. I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be paid the funds left in his bank account, hence I contacted you. I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an advantage, bearing the same surname and equally from the same country, so that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at $42.2 Million Dollars can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds. 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for Expenses or Tax as your Government may require, I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim. All I require is your honest cooperation 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 law. Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further. Best Regards Barrister kevin Nworah [That was your basic Dead Bank Customer letter.] [I start off with an opener from Michael Dell's secretary Mrs. Walker] MRS WALKER Dear Kevin, In order for Michael to attend to your email would you please classify it into one of the following: 1.

I am very happy with you for being direct and truthful to this matter and equally I am replying your message with the zeal you can be of immense help at this time to claim this money as soon as possible from bank where my respected late Mr.Adams Dell had the money lodged in.Being his solicitor, the bank had been contacting me, to present my late clients next of kin, of cause, I had made frantic effort to locate his relations who are not aware of this money. ironically, all effort my proved unsuccessful, which compelled me to contact you through the Internet. I am very appreciative of your concern and will do every thing humanly and legally possible to transfer all the acurred benefits to your name as the next of kin to deceased under no legal risk. I would want to reassure you that the process of the this transaction will be legal. You dont have to fear or worry about any legal implication. Since you have indicated your interest to help claim this money out from the bank . I feel strongly indebted to my late client, to make sure that his assest and valuables left behind are not asted and forfeited to the bank.This mind pondering my thought informed my determination to recover his funds. In this regard, let us join hands together and claim this money from bank as soon as possible which I am convinced, it will not take us up to 10 working days by their time frame to pay any of my late clients next of kin the funds. However, I will want you to send to me immediately, your telephone and fax numbers to enable me send to you the legal documents that are involved which i will secure with your name and in your favour from the Federal High Court of Justice here in Lagos. The procedure is transparent and excellent. I have the capabilty as a lawyer to obtain the legal document within two working days. Firstly, I will swear an affidavit in the High Court of Justice in favour of you which will confer the right to me to obtain a letter of administration (Oath Without Will) from the Federal High Court of Justice here in Lagos in your name. This letter of administration is a legal document that gives you an exclusive legal right to claim the money as the heir to the deceased and confirms your status as the bonafide beneficiary of the deposited fund in the bank. This legal document also cover you anywhere,any place and no question will arise from your own bank or goverment about the money when transferred to you. Finally, the letter of administration (Oath WithoutWill) and an application of claim on the said fund which I will write on your behalf will be submitted together to the management of bank for harmonization, approval and subsequent transfer of your fund into your bank account. Hence, the application of claim and the letter of administration (Oath Without Will) are submitted to the bank on your behalf,you will be recognised as the beneficiary of the funds and the bank will thereafter, be contacting you directly.

I look forward to the finalisation of the documents on your side. I have already authorised the shipment of your laptop to be part of the shipment going to Abuja, Nigeria. Is that close to where you are? They told me it was the capital so I guess it is close. The people in the Shipping Department said that it is far easier to do it this way. The laptop has already laft our offices and is on its way to Nigeria. It will be too problematic to reverse the process now. I will give you the details of the people you need to contact in Abuja to collect it. They will inform you where and when to collect it. Regards, Michael Dell [Kevin loses interest in the legal docs (they never come) and focuses more on his new laptop] KEVIN NWORAH Date: Thu, 01 Jul 2004 15:40:15 +0000 Hello Micheal , There is no problem ,Abuja is far from Lagos but i know that they have office in Lagos.You can end the information of person i need to contact .

I travelled and have only now been able to read my email. I have spoken with Peter and he says that you sent somebody to pick up the laptop as you were travelling overseas. He says he knows nothing about any money sent from you. I see in our book that a man has signed for the laptop. Could you please send me a copy of the fax or email where Peter said to send 5000 Naira to the account you mentioned. This is not our business account and we have nobody working for us with that name. Please do this so that I can discuss the matter with Peter. We are having difficulties with Nitel at the moment. I will email you when they are resolved.

Included is some more correspondence Kevin with Abraham Buba.] [Abraham Buba wants the evidence that Peter asked Kevin to pay 5000 Naira into some account knowing there is none.] ABRAHAM BUBA Date: Thu, 8 Jul 2004 06:48:43 -0700 (PDT) Dear Kevin, as I said before please forward me the instructions that you gave Peter to send 5000 Naira to that account. I would like to take this up with Peter first before we discuss the issue. Do you have a copy of a fax or email? Regards, Abraham Buba [Michael Dell tries to take Kevins worries off the 5000 Naira and to look at the big picture.] MICHAEL DELL Date: Thu, 8 Jul 2004 07:32:47 -0700 (PDT) Dear Kevin, I urge you to try and stay focused on the main task. The amount you are drawing my attention to is tiny in comparison to what we aim to achieve. I have nevertheless had my people in the shipping department find out about the credibility of this man Abraham Buba. Apparently he and his company are very reliable. Please keep me updated. Regards, Michael Dell [Kevin now wakes up to the fact that speaking with an American accent from a Nigerian telephone number perhaps means that Michael Dell may be in Nigeria and not in the USA. Now Kevin is going to go to the Nigerian Economic Fraud squad to get his money back. I don't know exactly what he is going to say. As for the bank account - where is his Evidence that I have been 419 ing him?] [It would be surprising if "Kevin" approaches the EFCC. They recently arrested a lot of people in Nigeria - see news section on main page - for just this sort of thing.] KEVIN NWORAH Date: Thu, 08 Jul 2004 15:01:58 +0000 Hello Micheal, There is nothing like small in what we are pursuing ok.The numbers which you gave ,the numbers which you used in calling me are all in EFCC together with the account number .

Have it in mind ok Regards Kevin [Michael Dell tries to ease Kevins mind in the hope of pissing him off even more later.] MICHAEL DELL Date: Thu, 8 Jul 2004 08:37:52 -0700 (PDT) Dear Kevin, I am not sure you understood me. What I said was not to worry about this man Abraham Buba and the laptop. We will make a lot more money with your proposal. Please concentrate on this. You seem to be too worried about your laptop. I can always send you another one or you can by a new one after our business. I don't know what you are talking about with the numbers and accounts. What is the EFCC? Regards, Michael Dell [I do call Kevin again. In a desperate and pathetic attempt to get his 5000 Naira back he says if I pay him back the 5000 Naira the original deal can still go ahead. I now tell him I am an FBI agent working with the Nigerian authorities and ask him to denounce his 419 activities. He asks me to put the phone down and then hangs up.] KEVIN NWORAH Date: Fri, 09 Jul 2004 07:36:39 +0000 Hello Micheal, Call me. Regards Kevin |
