Subject: URGENT RESPONSE Mahoney !!
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Roger Worgan,a legal practitioner; I am the personal attorney to Late
Mr.Michael Mahoney,a national of your country, who was a frontier to some
big shots in the country, here in Nigeria,On Sunday,2 February 2003, my
client, his wife and their three children were involved in bomb blast here
in my country. My client and his family unfortunately lost their
lives,(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2718295.stm).
Late Michael has a huge deposit in a fixed deposit account before his demise
and the firm has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
deposit confiscated within the next ten official working days.Believing that
you are related, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of
Kin of the deceased, so that the proceed of this deposit valued at USD$7.5
million dollars can be processed and released to you.
Since the death of Michael,I as his personal attorney, have made several
enquiries to locate his only surviving relation, without any success. I came
across your name and contact on the course of mypersonal searching for
Micheal's relations, so I decided to contact you for this project to know if
you are the Next Of Kin to Late Michael and hisfamily.I am contacting you
to assist in repatriating and securing the wealth left behind in a fixed
deposit account by Michael, before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by ADB Bank Plc where my client
operates an account worth $USD7.5 Million Dollars.The board ofADB Bank Plc
hasissued me a notice that after 2 months from now and no next of kin shown
up for the claiming of the said funds, the funds will be confiscated and
declared unserviceable.
Since I and my team have been unsuccessful in locating Michael's relatives
for sometime now,it on this note that I seek your consent to present you as
the Next of Kin of the deceased since you are a foreigner,and have the same
last name,so that the proceed of this deposit valued at $USD7.5 Million
Dollars can be released to you for our disbursments.Upon the receipt of the
following,i will make sure i submit them to the Central Computing Unit of
the Bank as the Next Of Kin to my late client:
1.Your Full Name as stated in your international passport.
2. Your residence address, age and occupation.
3. Your Cell Phone and Fax Numbers for easiercommunication.
I have worked out the modalities for the prosecution of this transaction
which has met allnecessary requirements in our country and those of
international arbitration.All i require is your honest co-operation to
enable us see this business successfully.I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement which will protect you from any
breach of the law.
Michael was a very good man and it is not wise forme to allow his hard
earned wealth to be stolen by the greedy directors of ADB Bank Plc.Further
details awaits yo ur response by email.
PLEASE, TREAT THIS PROPOSAL AS TOP SECRET.
Kind Regards,
Barr.Roger Worgan.(Esq).
