ATTN: Friend,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a surprise, This
is because we have not met before but i am inspired to send you this
Email for the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual
benefit to both of us.
However, I am clement john, the personal Attorney to late
Engr.SteveMoore a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with Shell
Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Nigeria.However, On the 21st of
April 1996, my client, his wife and children were involved in a car
accident along Shagamu/Lagos Express Road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the process of the accident,
since then I have made several Enquiries to several Embassies to locate
any of my clients extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful.
therefor, After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his
relatives on the Internet to locate any member of his family but of no
avail, hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client, I can easily convince the bank with my legal
practice that you are the only surviving relative of my client.
Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at
About $27million U.S dollars (twenty seven million U.S.America Dollars).
Consequently, The bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over
several years now.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
so that the proceeds of this account valued at $27million US Dollars can be
paid to your account and then you and I can share the money. 55% to me and
40% 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 on my mail to enable us discuss further, I
will like you to send me your return email with the following
Information for the transfer in your favour.
1, Your full Name,
2, Your contact Address
3, Your private phone, Mobile and fax numbers for easy communicating
to each other.
I am waiting for your kind response, Please if you are interested and
capable of Handling this deal with me, Due get back to me as soon as you
read my message. Reach me on my alternative email box just for security
reasons which is ( barr_clementjohn01@yahoo.com
