ATTN: THE DIRECTOR/CEO,
Before I proceed,Ia must first Apologise for this unsolicited mail to
you.I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to
starting a relationship but as time goes on you will realize the need for
my action.
I am BARRISTER OBINNA CHRIS,a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Mr Mark ,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 the 21st of April 2001, my client, his wife and
their three Children were involved in a car accident along Sagbama
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 track his last name over
the Internet, to locate any member of his family 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 bank here these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly,
the FIRST ATLANTIC BANK PLC.where the deceased had an account valued at
about $14.5million dollars 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 3
years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you are have the same Sur-name with him so that the
proceeds of this account valued at $14.5million dollars can be paid to you
and then you and me can share the money. 60% to me and 30% to you and
10% for any expenses incured during the transaction I have all necessary
legal documents that can be used to back up any claim you can contact
me through my Altentive email address:barobichris@mail2lawyer.com
All I require is your honest cooperation your private telephone,fax
number and your address to enable us seeing this dealthrough. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.
