DEAR SIR/MADAM
I am Barrister Olu Femi (Esq), the Personal Attorney to a Foreign Contractor,who worked with a Multinational Oil Firm in Nigeria. On NOVEMBER 1996, my late client engr.Stanley, an oil Merchant / Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria,until his death in a ghastly air crash with ENTIRE FAMILY OF A WIFE AND ONLY CHILD IN ADC AIR LINE BOEING 722, THAT CRASHED ON NOVEMBER 1996 via LAGOS TO PORT HARCOUT route.
All occupants of the Aeroplane unfortunately lost their lives Since then I have made several inquiries to Several Embassies 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. Then I have to contact you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about US$15.5 Million has issued a notice to provide the next of kin or relatives to come foward to claim the fund,so that the fund left will be transferred or have the account confiscated within the next twenty official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the the relatives for over the years, I now seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to my late client so that the processing of this account valued at US$15.5 Million can be paid to you and then you and I can share this money at the end of the transaction according to an agreement that will be reached as the percentage,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your Government may require.
All I require is your honest and co-operation to enable us see this business through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law both here and in your country. I will want you to send to me on your return email the following information for the transfer in your favour.
1) Your full name
2) Your contact Address
3) Your private phone,mobile and fax numbers
4) Your recent driver's license or passport copy
I await your kind response,Please do give your interest and capablity of handling this deal with me, And note that the nature of this business needs a very top attention.
