Dear Sir,
I am Barrister mohammed Isah (Esq), a solicitor and legal practitioner. I am the Personal Attorney to Mr. Adams Allen, a national of your country who used to work with chevron Company in Nigeria. On the 21st of April, 2000 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 trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but to 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 Finance House where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the Finance House where the deceased had a valued at about US$9 Million (Nine Million United States Dollars) has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated.
Since I have been unsuccessful 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 US$9 Million can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money thus: 70% for me and 20% for you while 10% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require. I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we will make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable use in sealing this deal. 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.
Best regards,
Barrister Isah.
