Dear Friend
I am Barrister Godfrey Eche, the Personal Attorney to a Foreign contractor,
who worked with a Multinational Oil Firm in Nigeria. On the 21st of April
1999, my client, his wife And their three children
were involved in a car accident along Sagamu 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 proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence
I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the Bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank
where the deceased had an account valued at about US$15 million dollars
has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated
within the next twenty official working days. since I have been unsuccessful
in locating the relatives for over 4 years now I seek your consent to present
you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account
valued at $15 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can
share this money. 70% to me and 25% to you,while 5% should be for expenses
or tax as your government may require,I have all necessary legal documents
that can be used to back up 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
via email godfreyeche@mideastnet.com as soon as you get this mail to enable
us discuss on the modalities and process for success of this transaction.
I also request for your private telephone number, fax number for easy and
more confidential communication.
I await your kind response, Good day and God bless.
Regards,
Barrister Godfrey Eche,
