Dear Winter,
I am Barrister Martins Mayor, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney
to Mr. Francis Winter, a native of your country, who used to work with Slumberge
Oil servicing Company Portharcourt here in Nigeria. Here in after shall
be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2001, my client, his wife and their three children
were involved in a car accident along sagbama express road. All occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately lost their 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 to track his name over
the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in claiming the money left behind by my client
before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable.
I had last two months with the help of the security company here, where
this huge deposit were lodged taken the funds to a Security and finance
company in England.
This becomes neccessary because the Engram Diplomatic Security Company where
the deceased had a deposit valued at about US$15.5 Million has issued me
a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within
the 6 weeks, hence the transfer to England.
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 of the deceased
to have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at
US$15.5 Million can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money.60%
to me and 40% to you. I will provide every legal documents that will be
demanded by the financial company in England.
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 the law. Please get in touch with me
immediately as I do not have much time in my disposal so that i will forwardyour
information to them for immediate payment.
Get back to me as soon as you get this email.
Best Regards,
Barr. Martins Mayor.
