Permit me to introduce my humbleself to you
I am Barrister Larry cole, a solicitor at law.
I am the personal attorney to Mr Mark Williams, A national of your country
who used to work with Shell Development Company in Nigeria, On the 2nd of
April 2002, my client, his wife And their three children were involved in a
car accident along Shagamu Express way. 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 me in repartrating the money left behind by
my client before they get confisticated or declared unserviceable by the
finance house where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the
finance house where the deceased had an account valued at Seven Million
Five Hundred Thousand USA Dollars ($7,500.000) has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next ten
official working days. since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the
relatives for over three years now, I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued
at $7,500.000 Million Dollars can be paid to you and then you and i can
share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you, 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 transaction
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 through this my private secured and confidential
email(solicitor_larry@yahoo.co.uk) to enable us discuss further.
Best Regards.
