ATTN:
Sir,
May I solicit your confidence and honesty in the transaction of this
business, which by its nature requires absolute transparency nurtured by
a strong conscience. It?s obvious that you do not know me, hence this little
introduction. My name is Barr. Sani Williams, the personal Attorney to Late
Engineer Patrick Ricky, a national of your country who was a contractor
with Shell Petroleum (SPDC), here in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2001,
our client, his wife and two children were involved in an auto crash along
Abuja express road and incidentally lost their lives.
During his time in Nigeria, he was a renowned philanthropist as he built
and sponsored KANE FOUNDATION in Delta State single-handedly (Center For
The Deaf and Dumb) which has been taken over by the Government after his
death.
Since then, I have made several enquiries to your embassy in order to locate
any of his extended relatives, but this has proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his Last name over the
Internet, hence I and the entire management of SPDC contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and Property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by SECURITY COMPANY where he deposited the sum of US$15.7million dollars.
But this will be possible under one condition;
That you are going to use at least 40% of the total sum to build or sponsor
a charitable organization in any part of the world of your choice, which
will be named after him, since his life on earth was marked with such gestures.
(My Opinion)
The guidelines of SECURITY COMPANY. Stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed for Over a period of 3years and few months, with the account Unserviceable
the money will be confiscated and this will happen in the near future if
nobody comes for the money since we have not seen any body for the money
and his property for the last two years and bank has Been notifying the
Rotary club for the past one year. Now I seek your Consent to present yourself
as
the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US$15.7 million dollars can
be paid to you.
I surely know that this will make you apprehensive, but you can contact
me to erase any kind of fear, which you might entertain.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Best regards,
Barr.Sani Williams.
Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC)
