The first thing that happened is a man with an african accent called my home number explaining that he had sent an e-mail to me and I needed to read it because it was urgent. Here is how the e-mail went:
Dear Barbour:
I am Mr. Mike Eke, the personal accounting officer to Mr. Frank Barbour, national of your country, who used to work with shell development company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April my client, his wife and there three children were involved in a car accident along the sagbama express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives. This has also proven unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his surname over the internet to locate any member of his family, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
This account is valued at about 12.5 million dollars.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin. This account can be paid to yu and then you and me can share the money. I have all necessary legal documents to back up any claim we may make. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me by my e-mail.
Best Regards, Mr. Mike Eke
(Then he called and asked if I was a christian and said he would never lie to me when I questioned the validity of the situation)
