Dear Sir/Madam,
I am BARRISTER TONY KUNO, the family lawyer to Late Richard Goldberg, a
national of your country, who used to work with shell Development Company in
Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On 31st October 1999, my client alongside his wife and their three children
died in an air crash in an Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on
board, from New York reroute to Nigeria.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives for their fund, but this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to locate a honest and
sincere foreigner over the Internet, 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 Finance security Company where this huge deposit was lodged.
Particularly, A FINANCE AND SECURITY COMPANY, where the deceased deposited a
consignment valued $25.5MILLION DOLLARS has issued me a notice as his
personal attorney to provide the next of kin or have the consignment seized
within the next fourteen official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4 years
now I seek your consent to present you as NEXT OF KIN of the deceased, since
you are a foreigner so that the proceeds of this consignment valued at
$25.5MILLION DOLLARS can be claim by you and
then you and I can share the money by percentage ratio.
i. 50% will go for you
ii. 50% will be deposit in a commercial bank in your country on my behalf
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us 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.
Kindly send your complete name, home address, and telephone and fax number
in your reply.
You can call me after you have sent your informations as reguested.
I await your urgent reply,
Best Regards,
Tony A. kuno
