Smith a national of your country, who used to work with Shell Development Company here in Nigeria herein after shall be referred to me as my client. On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a ghastly motor accident along Warri- Sagbama Express road.
Unfortunately, all occupants of the vehicle lost their lives as the vehicle caught fire after the crash. 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 last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
Consequently, my proposal to you is that I want you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to the deceased and assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client prior to his death before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged particularly, the CitiTrust Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about US$18.7 Million dollars.
The bank had issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
So what I want us to do is simple, I will like you to be presented as the next of kin to the deceased. Your nationality or person does not matter, all that I need is a sincere personality to accomplish this project.
As the Personal Attorney to the Deceased and I will prepare the necessary documents for the drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary document and Letter of Probate/Administration in your favour to show that you are the next of kin to the deceased.
The Bank would at the end of the day contact you after going through the
documents and application to be submitted on your behalf.
Take note that the total sum US$18.7 Million dollars will be shared in the ratio of 60% for me while 30% will be for you for assisting us with claiming the funds, 10% of the funds is set aside for any incidental expenses in the course of this transfer to you.
There is no risk involved at all, the paperwork for this transaction will be done legally, this will guarantee the successful execution of the transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via email address olamartins@yahoo.com and upon your responce, I shall provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country and I also want to donate some part of my share to charity and more information will come your way upon your response.
