Subject: FROM BARRISTER CHARLES IKE
Dear Sir,
I am Barrister Charles Ike the Personal Attorney to Engr.Leonard Miguel,a
national of your country ,who was an oil consultant/contractor with the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC).
On the 21th of April 2002, my client,his wife and their only son were
involved in a fatal motor car accident along Ikorodu expressway Lagos
,unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since
then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my
client's 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 contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property 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 $15 million U.S
dollars(Fifteen million us dollars). Conseqently, 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 unsuccesfull in locating
the relatives for over 2 years now.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are from the same country so that the proceeds of this account valued at
$15 million U.S dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the
money, 60% to me and 35% 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 co-operation 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 by email to enable us discuss further.
Yours Faithfully.
Barrister Charles Ike.
