Dear Friend,
I am Chief John Kolawole Churchill, a legal Solicitor and I was the Personal
Attorney and legal adviser to Mr.Robert Joachim,a national of your country,
who used to work with Mobil oil Company Nigeria Plc. On the 21st of August
2003, 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 their lives.
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 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 in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the Security Company where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Security Company where the deceased had a deposit valued
at about Ten Million United States Dollars($U.S10,000,000) has issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the
next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two years
now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
Since you are from the same country so that the proceeds of this account
valued at Ten Million United States Dollars ($U.S10,000,000) can be paid to
you and then you and me can share the money. 65% to me and 25% to you,while
10% 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 in seeing 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 my mail:john.churchill@mail.ee or CALL ME
234-1- 7762327 to enable us discuss further.
Expecting your urgent response
Best Regards,
Chief John Kolawole Churchill Esq.
