I can't believe you are even considering this....this is the one of the biggest scams in the last ten years....don't be an idiot, rip up the letter or delete the e-mail. The scam works like this, your great great great ancestor died and left you some money....or due to war conditions we need to place some money into your account....all we need is your account number....guess what happens next....they take every penny you have in your account and disappear. You will never see that money again, nor will you ever be able to prosecute them becase these individuals are from Africa....like I said before, unless you are a complete moron, situations like this never occur except in the movies, walk away before you lose your shirt.

ps...now pay me 10,000 dollars...lol

Your Question is does this Barrister exist? Guesss what I wouldn't have to investigate to give you an answer: NO.

This is obviously a scam, start running. I am very sure the story she/he gave goes like this: A certain man died in an accident in Nigeria. He does not have a will and their is no next of kin to claim his money which runs into millions of dollars. So this is where you come in. To help get this money out in your name since he is apparently the deceased attorney,he can facilitate the movement of the cash. Am I right? please indulge me and tell me.

This is a SCAM. Dont ever reply to the She/he email again.

take care
