Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am Barrister Ikorodu Williams Ezeh, a solicitor at law. I am the
personal attorney to Mr. David , a native of your country, who used
to work with Mobil Oil Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be
referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2000, 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 l ocate
any of my clients extended relatives,this has also proved
unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his
last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family
hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in
repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge
deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the Wema Diplomatic Security Company where the
deceased had an account valued at about US$10.5 Million has issued
me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the 6 weeks.
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$10.5 Million can be paid to you and then
you and I can share the money. 70% to me and 30% to you. We
shall "SECURE" all necessary legal documents that will be used to
backup any claim we may make.
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.
Call me as soon as you get this email.+234-803-7012115.
Best Regards,
BARRISTER. IKORODU WILLIAMS EZEH
