Dear sir/madam
I am Barrister Uduebor .O. Harry, a solicitor at law.I
am the personal attorney to Late Mr. Cloud Daniels, a
Foreigner, who used to work with Shell Oil Development
Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to
as my client.
On August 4th, 2006. my Client, his wife and their two
children were involved in a fatal air disaster. My
Client and his family together with other persons had
boarded the ill-fated Executive Airlines Services (EAS
Airlines) which took off from Aminu Kano International
Airport and crash at Gwamaja on the outskirts of Kano City killing
all passengers on board. Since then I have made
several enquiries to his 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 a
member of his family, hence I had to contact you. have
contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were
lodged. Particularly, the Bank of Oversea Nigeria
where the deceased had a deposit valued at about Ten
Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
(USD 10.5M) has issued me a notice to provide the
next-of-kin or have the account confiscated within the
6 weeks.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over years now, I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that
the proceeds of this account valued at US$10.5 Million
can be paid to you and then you and I can share the
money.
I would like you to contact me once you receive this
mail indicating your interest in this to enable me
give you more details of the modus operandi of getting
this money paid to you by the Bank. I am willing to
give you US$4M out of the entire sum for your
assistance in getting this fund and I shall make arrangements
on how to meet you at the appropriate time for the disbursement.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this deal 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 immediately as I do not have much time
in my disposal.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated
co-operation.
Best Regards,
Barr.Uduebor .O. Harry
